Description

Elves are described as renowned for their grace and mastery of magic: 58 and weapons such as the bow: 15, 58 and sword. Becoming physically mature by the age of 25 and emotionally mature at around 125, they are also famously long- lived, capable of living more than half a millennium and remaining physically youthful. Possessed of innate beauty and easy gracefulness, they are viewed as both wondrous and haughty by other races in-universe; however, their natural detachment is seen by some as introversion or xenophobia. They were usually portrayed as antagonistic towards dwarves.: 36
