Pale, willowy creatures, with pointed ears and large, almond-shaped eyes. Though not immortal as such, they are all but immune to disease and indefinitely long-lived - they change with time, as all things do, but will not grow old or die of old age though a thousand years go by. Elves are mostly nocturnal by preference, and congregate in woods and forests the same way humans tend to gather around waterways. Most of them live as hunter-gatherers, like they have done since the dawn of time, or tinkers, bards, traveling mercenaries - anything that lets them be here now, there tomorrow and stars know where then. A handful of elven cities exist, wondrous sprawling works of magic and craft honed through centuries, with populations of anything up to a million souls at any moment, but they have very few permanent residents and more inns than private homes, since most elves simply prefer to wander semi-randomly rather than settle down in any one place. They love beautiful things, almost seeming to draw sustenance from music and poetry, and many indulge in various arts and crafts with a passion. | Pale, willowy creatures, with pointed ears and large, almond-shaped eyes.

Fabled Camorra, the ancient homeland of elves, is a secret realm hidden by the mighty spell known as Queen's Veil. For centuries, no human has set foot in Camorra, and even the knowledge of its approximate location is quickly becoming the stuff of old wives' tales. But legends still speak of its enchanted gardens and woods of marvellous beauty, the crystalline twin rivers Fëall and Fion whose human names are long forgotten, and a soaring castle of pearlescent white stone beside the inland sea Thalanna, where the sorcerous Queen resides with her husband protectors and weaves the magics that keep Camorra sealed from the world. | Fabled Camorra, the ancient homeland of elves, is a secret realm hidden by the mighty spell known as Queen's Veil.
