[QUOTE="Ibram, post: 2175389, member: 17640"] Elves IMC are a varried race spread across the globe. There are not an endless variety of sub races however, mostly just different cultures. True Elves (also known as Colonal Elves): This is the largest group of elves, and can be found in small habitats across the world. They are the last few outpost of the now dead elven empires from the Age of Song and Stone. Almost identical to D&D Elves they have their lifespans cut in half, and sleep (plus not immune to sleep or paralisis effects). In cities they control they usualy live in small walled communities while their half-elf decendents run the outer city and interact with the wider world. Those who have lost access to cities often live in small semi-nomadic tribes, hidding in distant wildernesses from the barbarians who overthrew them (Orcs and Humans for the most part). True Elves who live in cities have a favored class of Wizard, while those in the wilderness have Ranger/Scout. High Elves: Durring the Age of Song and Stone the Empire of the Silver Moon was supreme, nearly every nation gave heed to its dictates. This was due to their sorcerous skill, not their might in arms. So powerful were they that the last emperess was able to grant them Immortality, and even manipulated the worlds weather patterns... which led to their downfall. In the present age only a handful are left, and their numbers are rapidly dwindling (they lost their immortality with their empires fall). They are a quickly dying race with only a few places still under their control. Dark Elves: The Empire of the Silver Moon was not brought down by enemies without, rather it was brought down by enemies within. The Emperesses older sister, angry at being passed up for the throne, and worried about her sisters ultimate plans rebeled. The war that followed brought about the collapse of the climate controling spells, causing the worlds sea level to rise by over 100ft in 5 years. Surviving rebles were hated by the other elven nations and were forced to seek refuge under the protection of a daemonic dragon. Living in the northern sections of the world they are a warrior people, powerful and cruel. Many still serve their protector, while others live semi-independently. They are similar rules wise to the High Elves, their racial skills are shifted slightly and their favored class is fighter not wizard I've cranked up the arrogance factor on all my elven races. The High Elves dominated the world for nearly 2000 years, and were largely hated by the time their reign ended. This carrys on the the present day, they just see themselves as inherently superior (with their long lives and sorcerous ability its an easy assumption to make). [/QUOTE]
