[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9846497, member: 58172"] Regarding Rules-As-Written, the 5e 2024 Players Handbook says in the Elf species description: "They live for around 750 years." On average. But there can still be individual Elves who were killed in battle at the age of 20, and likewise individual Elves who were never killed and are still around after thousands of years. Moreover, most Elves who have reached a hundred years old would be epic levels, which can normally bypass expected lifespans anyway. There are primordial Elves who can shapechange at will who are still around, and the Astral Elves have no passage of time. The core description of the Elf is inclusive enough to accommodate various individuals and various settings. The Players Handbook says, "most species live for around 80 years old", but obviously Humans dont die on their eightieth birthday. The lifespan is only a vague estimation. There are officially Human individuals who are much older. [/QUOTE]
