Elf

Elves are a forest dwelling race of humanoids in Skeleton in Another World.

Background
Elves are a humanoid race. They are known for their fair features and longevity. Humanity jealous of these traits have persecuted the elves, hunting and enslaving their people. Ironically majority nobles in various human kingdoms are actually descended from elves. However these unions were not always out of love or even consensual. The elves were not only hunted out of fear but also for their powers and beauty. Elven women were sold to wealthy elite as sex slaves. Elven men are forced to fornicate with human women to produce children capable of magic.

Types of Elves

 * Dark Elf

Appearance
Elves are a humanoid race with elongated ears. Their hair color usually come in shades of green, but they do possess other colors.

Culture
While there were several different clans of elves, commonly elves have different naming conventions than humans. They have three names composed of their given name, the name of their parent of the same sex, followed by the name of the town they belong to.

Elves are a patriarchal society, women are typically expected to remain at home and tend the hearth. However such traditions are becoming outdated especially among the dark elves, though a few staunch traditionalists exist in the central elven capital.

Abilities
Elves were renowned for devoting their long lives to improving their martial skills, as well as for their ability to wield powerful magic.
