Elves

Much like Firbolgs many of the elven homes have been ruined and destroyed with the previous Cataclysmic events however they are a more common race to see within Dephiron. Unfortanately these elves have lost their magic due to their grudge with The Forsaken God known as The Shatterer and many of these elves are unable to cast their once innate magic while some are unable to learn magic or use magic at all. These Elves began to become very aggressive towards non elves for whatever reason and strangest of all take part in cannibalism to some degree. It is unknown when they have developed these strange eating habits and why but this often puts them at odds with various Slayers guilds and the various religious orders worshiping their respective deity of death, since some elves tend to eat the dead bodies. Elves are at increased risk for turning into ghouls or even something greater as many of the Sanguine Wanderers members are elves.

High Elves: With many of the noble kingdoms collapsing with the events of the calamities many high elves perished, however some still live ruling over minor towns and a lucky few over cities. High elves do not trust any one at all since many are paranoids that other high elves and even some other races are plotting to take what noble titles they have and stealing their power. It has been and always have been very cut throat with many High elves "mysteriously dying" due to the plot of other high elves and some other races. This led to many minor battles typically between the assassins of nobles and these cities became bloody battle fields. These High elves typically will meet those through proxies rather than meeting others themselves and lock themselves away in their homes playing 4D chess attempting to defend and take other nobles down. High elves ritualistically cannibalize the previous nobles that they took their noble title from. This ritual is to be gifting the strong with the memories of the weak.

Player's note: If playing a high elf they will gain stress being around "new" people and inflicted with the indefinite madness: "I am convinced that powerful enemies are hunting me, and their agents are everywhere I go. I am sure they're watching me all the time."

Wood Elves: Wood elves are seen as very chaotic and violent since their homes were destroyed often attacking those they consider enemies without second thought. Wood elves have lost the ability to use their innate magic due to their past grudge with the Forsaken god known as The Shatterer. Long ago the Wood Elves mages attempted kill this Outsider or even weaken it to be sealed away by Zydis the God of Magic, Truth, and Governance. These Wood Elf mages failed to kill the Shatterer but weakened to the point where it was sealed somewhere in "Project Assiah" where Zydis was able to watch over the seal for some time. Unfortunately when the project ended The Shatterer was unsealed and took vengeance on the elves cursing them to never be able to cast magic of any kind again. Many elves strive to be able to cast magic again and will do almost anything to be able to cast magic again. These Wood elves will cannibalize those with the ability to cast magic as long ago they would eat their dead brethren to strengthen their magic.

''Player's note: Cursed of the Shattered: If playing an elf, Elves are unable to cast any and all magic even if it is innate. They are even unable to cast holy magic as many of the remaining gods and the Star Signers do not have enough power to break the curse. Elves are unable to become, Wizards, Sorcerers, Clerics, Paladins, and most Warlocks (with the exception of fiend, hexblade, and Great Old One). Due to cannibalizing the dead mages they are actually able to become blood hunters since the magic blood of their victims manages to be absorbed into their own blood allowing them to use blood hunter curses. (Also Player's Note: These elves along with Drow have the highest chance of turning into ghouls or something more dangerous...)''

Drow: They fared the worst from the Cosmic Invasion. Their magical wards and abilities were lost due to The Shatterer's curse, their goddess Lolth has been silent, and they lost their homes in the Underdark as many of the entities sealed away from ancient times began to awaken from their slumber. Many Drow were caught by these ancient entities reawakening and were killed leaving only some to successfully escape to the surface. Much like the Dwarves during the warforged project these Drow never speak of the horrors of what exactly is reawakening in the Underdark and the other entities that caused this thing to reawaken. The Drow used to eat the dead drow out of necessity due to the lack of resources in the Underdark but now they eat their dead companions hoping that they do not become spirits and other mindless undead.

Player's note: Drow have developed a fear for going underground or in caves they will gain extra stress for being in caves and underground places they gain more stress if they were to return to the Underdark for whatever reason that may be.

Sea Elves: See elves have always been endangered, living on their islands in peace, but in small number. While they attempt to ignore world affairs and live in harmony with the ocean the Cosmic Invasion Dashed that. With the death of their guardian protecting their islands and the Forsaken God known as The Oceanic Horror making its home within the ocean, their islands were devastated by uncontrolled storms. Many of them were killed and their homes destroyed. This had led to some of them fleeing to the mainland in search of help to deal with the Oceanic Horror. These elves do not partake in any acts of cannibalism.

''Player's Note: Sea Elves are afraid of the Ocean due to the Oceanic Horror and that the Triton have began making deals with demons and devils. They will gain extra stress being in the ocean or sailing across it.''
