Description
High Elves, are an ancient and proud people who have walked the face of Tyrra since time was recorded. The High Elves have suffered greatly at the hands of wars and marauding Races who, over time, have eroded High Elven presence on Tyrra. In the modern era, only one place could truly be called the High Elven homeland, the now Duchy of Ellisel. High Elves have a rich and intricate society which is based upon a caste system. Unlike other caste societies, Elves believe that all castes fill a vital role in society and therefore one is not superior to another. High Elves actively believe, and often make a point of showing, that they are the first and most superior Race. Along with this superior attitude comes a great love of luxury and fine surroundings, and an appreciation for beautiful things, be they natural or crafted. High Elves are often elegant and beautiful in both manner and dress, but never to the point of impracticality. In addition to this haughtiness, High Elves honour, protect, and revere nature and the living world.

Skill
True Shot

Disadvantage
In order to learn to use a Two Handed Weapon a High Elf must pay double the listed cost. The skill Weapon Master is 5 build more expensive for this Race. Bows and Crossbows are not considered Two Handed Weapons.

Enforced Roleplay
Prepare to enter a culture that expects you to look good, wear fancy clothes and have complex hair cuts. To be a High Elf without vanity will likely cause the community to look upon you with pity or scorn, or both. Don’t expect to be invited to High Tea or other social events.

Make-Up/Costume
High Elves must wear prosthetic ears and should consider wearing fancy costuming to fit in with their high culture.
