== Elves ==
Subdivided into several ethnic variations: The original Elven stock is the Grey Elf, but the Elves are explorers, and have spread the length and breadth of the Lands.  The Elves arrived long ago, long enough that the enclaves have had time to develop distinct ethic sub-types defined primarily by culture, and secondarily by variations in average appearance.

=== Grey Elves ===
The most ancient of the Elven bloodline, the Grey Elves are few in number, and live on an isolated island in the east, far beyond any settlement of humans.  They consider themselves the highest form of Elven culture, and observers are hard-pressed not to agree with them. They are the most adept and powerful magic users among Elves, but tend to be less physically strong than many of the other ethnicities.

=== Mist Elves ===
Mist Elves have several strongholds in the foothills of the mountain chain between Chandrahaar and Jhon.  Mist Elves tend towards dark
hair and dark skin, but other complexions can be found. They are secretive and retiring with respect to other races, but amongst themselves are somewhat more jovial and carefree than the Grey Elves.  They tend towards bright colored clothing, jewelry, and tatoos and other forms of body adornment are common, typically associated with a particular clan.

=== Sun Elves ===
Sun Elves live in the deep deserts of Issyria and the Sea of Sand, as well as having scattered strongholds across the Forbidden Isles. They are very dark of complexion and hair, and eyes tend to black and brown, though greens, hazel, and amber are not unheard of.   Little is known about them, as they rarely interact with humans.

=== Snow Elves ===
Inhabit the cold foothills of the Grey Mountains where they meet the forest of Thornwood, North of  Athervon.  Tend towards pale/light hair.  They are more muscular than many elves, and powerful fighters. Their magic use, while impressive, is not at the same level as other Elves. Reclusive as a society, individuals have been known to venture outside of their realm seeking knowledge or adventure.

=== Wood Elves ===
Rule over the vast area known only as the Great Western Forest, in the South-Western portion of the  Athernian peninsula. 
Very typical for standard AD&amp;D wood elves.
