Background
The close relationship between elves
and humans brought romances and
songs of the love between both races, and for a while the high council of elves even went so far
as to allow elves to marry humans. Though elves live far greater in years than humans, there is
very little difference in their physical makeup. The merging of elf and human blood brought
about a new race, known in the common tongue as half-elves. These creatures inherited a sense of
curiosity and creativity from their human ancestors, and a love of nature and appeal for the
aesthetics from their elven blood. What they lost in strength
and constitution, they
make up in intelligence and
dexterity. A curious sidenote
is that the female half-elves have a reputation of easily succumbing to the temptations of the
flesh, and are the subject of many an adventurer's wild fantasies.
Roleplaying with other races
After the Great War
which brought the elves defeat at Greginsham, the once powerful
bond between elves and humans was strained. Once enjoying the benefits of being common to
both societies and enjoying the advantages of it, half-elves are now accepted by neither,
a painful reminder to both the elves and humans of a once marvellous relationship that has
soured. Though clearly this is not the half-elves own doing, the anamosity towards them
remains from the legendary narrow-minded elves, and they are shunned almost completely
by those of pure elven heritage. Half-elves may choose to live with the more tolerating
humans, and remain rather segregated with their own community despite being cared for, or
they may leave completely and become adventurers in their own right.
