Elves were one of the four great original sentient races of Titan.
Created by Galana in the Godtime, the elves all originally had great affinity with the Woods and Forests of Titan. The majority of Elves remain in touch with the woodland realms and are more accurately now described as Wood Elves. Offshoots of the Elven race other than Wood Elves included Mountain Elves, Black Elves and of course Dark Elves.
Description[]
Most elves could be described as graceful humanoids with large ears and slanted eyes. They were often good warriors, especially with longbows.[1]
An elf on average lived twice as long as a human, causing elves to often patronise members of mankind.[1]
Origins and Distribution[]
Elves were much diminished in numbers since Irritarian days but could still be found all over Titan. In Allansia, Wood Elves dwell mostly in the Forest of Yore, Darkwood Forest, Greenhome and the Forest of Night.[2]
In the Old World, Elves mainly lived in small communities in Gallantaria, Ruddlestone and Lendleland.[3][4][5]
Khul also had large populations of elves. When Irritaria was split, so to was the One Forest. In Khul, the main remnants of the One Forest are in north-east Khul, such as the Old Forest, and Affen Forest. Here the wood elves remained quite strong. There was also a kingdom of elves in south-west Khul in the jungles of Transoxalia. Although never part of the One Forest this was an ancient woodland. The mountain elves of Khul are more rare being confined mainly to the Aetos Heights in Zamarra and the Ilkhan Ranges of Kazan. There may have been some scattered groups in the Cloudhigh Mountains and Mountains of the Giants. What few dark elves inhabited Khul are for the most confined to the north-east, though their real strength lay in Allansia.
Elves spoke two languages. High Elvish is used for courtly speech, for saying prayers, and casting magic spells.[6] Low Elvish or Common Elvish was used for everyday speech among Elves. Common Elvish was also the language spoken by sprites, pixies and woodlings. [6]
