Religion: Alfar worship their own pantheon whose head diety is Woden.  They do not worship other dieties almost as a rule, those who do worship others only exist within elven communities of the Prime Material and they are exceedingly rare.Language: Alfar speak a form of Elven, altered over their millenia in Alfheim.  Many also learn the languages of forest creatures, perhaps a carry over from their elven heritage.Names: Alfar names are closer to Orcish names than Elven in that they take the name of their father as a second name, although they do not carry out the geneology as far as the orcs of their realm.Adventurers: Alfar take up adventuring as often as any other race, perhaps more so.  The spread out nature of their holdings on Alfheim and the difficulties involved in getting from one settlement to another causes them to take up adventuring, or at least the training involved, as a matter of survival.Racial Abilities:Humanoid (Extraplanar, Elf)No ability adjustments. Medium size. An elf’s base land speed is 30 feet. Immunity to sleep spells and effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects.Low-light vision. Weapon Proficiency: Elves are automatically proficient with the longsword, battleaxe, longbow, composite longbow, shortbow, and composite shortbow. +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. An elf who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if she were actively looking for it. +2 racial bonus to Survival checks.Automatic Languages: Common, Elven. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Sylvan. Favored Class: Ranger [/sblock]</blockquote>
