Elf

Elves are a humanoid race. They usually have a more thin, slender and shorter body than humans, as well as slightly bigger eyes, pointed ears, increased sensitivity and less visible muscles.

Long ago, they were the most dominant race of all, creating magic based technology that was far too advanced for their own good. They once dominated all the other races with such strength in their hands before their own race separated in different groups, those who wanted more— and those against reaching such power. Such weakness in their own history caused humans to strike, making the first war genocide against elves. A small portion of elves have managed to save themselves from the war, and some have been made prisoners to serve humans or other races.

Since then, elves were separated in two main groups, the first being who were prisoners at the time now called city elves— as they had lost all connection to their surroundings compared to nature elves who can feel a deep connection between the land they are located, mostly from a mana connection.

Elves, compared to humans live longer. A human would die at approximately 50 years old, an elf would approximately die at 100 years old. Reminder that this is a medieval fantasy world.

Pre-historical times
Elven legends speak of a time where gods and godesses have created Negame to live within. Everything was made to survive, food, shelter built with their own hands, etc. They all lived in peace, as time went on and their power tarnished generations after generations, before making humans— different people, filled with greed, lust, and more. They have been banned from the original elven village and built their own civilization... which soon grew to be bigger than elves, since humans had a much more fertile system than elves.

Everything that the elves have created, made, invented were written in books that the gods themselves have started writing on— something that humans could not reach. The elves kept all of that knowledge for themselves, when humans learnt by their own. And learning by their own was enough, as their larger civilization which learnt to make their own weapons attacked the elven. Humans were victorious, and taught elves their first lesson as all the books got burnt, with all of the gods knowledge.

Written history
Yet, elves still were able to stand back up again and rebuild their own civilization from scratch— and managed to finally beat humans from how superior their technology was for decades, centuries even. They were the first to find magic and to control it, a power from the gods themselves. Their technology quickly reached what could make someone a divinity, which caused civil war between those wanting to reach such a high status, and the other elves... before humans also came into play— causing one of the biggest wars in existence, causing thousands and thousands of elven deaths and merely a hundred human deaths.

From the greediness of humans, there were quite a lot of prisoners that were forced to serve them, and have their children serve the future human generations, etc. Elven kinds and queens became royal servants, and poor elves became barely equipped soldiers, made to die on battlefields. Those are who we now call city elves, who are used to serve rich or powerful humans.

Though, some elves did survive but were scattered around the lands of Negame. Most of them were located in Ehran (big big place mostly forest, must write about it), where mana flowed through the trees. Ehran elves, also known as forest elves are the most common. There are elves located in deserts, in volcanic areas, and even next to water. Elves easily managed to get used living in bad conditions, making it their own place. They have evolved in these rough areas, and their mana is linked to it.

Today, elves are still victims of humans, considered an inferior race compared to the strength of their bigger arms, and bigger armies. Even if elves still could be able to beat humans with their strong, they've become a much more pacific race. They are still killed and used like they were nothing, but they blame their ancestors for it.

City elves
City elves have lost all elvish culture that once made them proud of themselves. Their history has been erased, as well as their religion as they learn everything from human books and schools. They are barely paid from the inexistant respect that humans & other elves have towards them, being most of the times servants and/or prostitutes. They mostly are born from an elven/half-elven mother and a human father, considered as heresy from nature elves. Half-elves are easily recognizable by their lack of mana felt by other elves, yet they still keep their high sensitivity and still have slightly smaller pointed ears. They are the most known from other races, because they're seen by everyone— compared to nature elves who stay in their own villages.

Nature elves
Nature elves are the ones living by their own, together in villages in different places in Negame. They have a strong bond with their environment, as their mana is linked to the place they have evolved in. Their religion is strong, pretty much everywhere in their kingdoms and villages as their religion takes care of the schools, libraries, and laws.

Forest elves
Ehran elves are the most common from nature elves, as forests are much more common than other places where nature elves live in. They are the strongest mages of their race from how much mana resides within trees, and the best archers as they know how to climb trees much more easily and hide within trees and bushes. They are easily recognizable from their very light skin, from the lack of sunlight because of the trees covering the sky.

Desert elves
Desert elves are mostly merchants, easily recognizable as their skin is slightly darker than any other elves, and the horses carrying all kinds of goods on their back. They've evolved to be taller and stronger than any other elves, and even taller than humans. Yet, they do not look muscular at all, just like any other elves. They've mostly lost all of their magic powers, but can withstand intense heats and colds without any problems— travelling to other places do not bother them a single bit compared to how close other nature elves feel towards their own lands.

Water elves
Water elves are mostly located on shores or in the sea, as they have evolved to have gills hidden behind their skin of their neck, allowing them to breathe under water. Their water magic can heal pretty much anything, making them the best healers in Negame. They are very scared of the outside, hiding from any other race, even other elves that aren't water based.

Dark elves
Dark elves have been against all of the control that elves had at one point, hating the technology that elves had, and have been exiled by light elves. They have hatred in them since that day towards elves— and also humans, because of their hatred towards elves. No one really knows where dark elves live.

Trivia

 * Elves are highly requested as prostitutes from their high sensitivity, and from how small they are.
 * Some elves can be VERY strong, yet their body doesn't really show muscle at all.
 * They never shrink with age, in fact they will keep growing up until their death. It does make elders so tall, yet very weak.
 * Female elves can actually go in heat for between 5 to 15 days. It is actually quite painful from how needy they feel, as they spread their pheromones everywhere, which can be felt by anyone else, except animals.
