== Moon Elves == | |||
The Moon Elves are the most common subspecies of Elf, accounting for the bulk of [[The Empire of Doloriane]]'s population. An ancient race with a long literary, cultural and magical history, many Moon Elves consider their society to be the peak of [[elfoid]] achievement. | |||
== Sea Elves == | |||
The Sea Elves of the Skaugan Main, unlike their terrestrial cousins, have developed the ability to breathe underwater without magical assistance. Their society is less formal and more nomadic than that of the Moon Elves, who sometimes consider Sea Elves to be "savages." | |||
== Drow == | |||
[[Drow]], or "Dark Elves," are a subterranean race of elves which make their home in the [[Underdark]]. Drow society is centered around a powerful matriarchal priesthood dedicated to [[Lolth]], the Spider Queen. | |||
== Half-Elves == | |||
Elves are closely related to and capable of reproducing with [[humans]] and some other [[humanoids]]. The offspring of such a union is often considered "inferior" by mainstream Elven culture. | |||
