Elven tradition has long since held that they were the first to be born into
the world. They hold all life and nature in great respect, and loss of these
things distress elves greatly. Being in harmony with the land, most elven
communities are deep within forests, far away from other racial settlements.
Elves in general are tall, lithe, elegant creatures with pointed ears, thin
limbs and graceful movements. They stand about five feet tall and weigh
between 90 and 100 pounds with women being slightly shorter and lighter than
men. No elf can grow facial hair.
SILVANESTI: The Silvanesti are the oldest elven race on Krynn from which all
other elven races can find their roots. They are a proud, arrogant, and
stoic people who have little use for other races, including other elves.
They believe in strict racial purity. Silvanesti are fair-skinned, their
hair color ranges from light brown to blond-white and their eyes are hazel.
They speak in melodic tones and move with a natural grace.
Note that despite what elves are like in fantasy books and other games,
elves are not long lived here. They have the same lifespan as humans.
