Am I missing something? I've gone through all alea products I own and I don't see a mention of Malekin?
Care to elaborate?

First off, sorry for getting back to you this late - I just returned from vacation. Now for your question - Malekin and half-malekin (collectively known as Fairie-kin) replace the elf and half-elf races in the Player's Handbook. These were initially called Fairie-kin in the Free Chronicles of Yrza the Crow:
These are actually considered sub-races of humans with varying degrees of fey blood. Both are commonly called fairie-kin and are generally accepted with suspicion. These are human children snatched from birth by fey for some unknown reason, whisked away to the Fairie Realm, and returned usually 15 years later, altered with no memory of their lives in captivity. Actual elves in the Feudal Lords setting are more earth-like in mythical tradition and less Tolkien-like (Tolkien elves are from a much earlier mythical tradition which saw elves more kin as human paragons).
Essentially, the Malekin and Half-malekin use the same statistics as Elves and Half-elves in the Player's Handbook, but have different names. These two races will be featured in the upcoming Feudal Lords campaign setting which Caldor is initially designed for. If not using the Feudal Lords setting, simply replace Malekin and Half-malkin with Elf and Half-elf.
Anything else. we would like to hear about it. We hope you are enjoying the product thus far save for that snafu.
