Magesworn Elf:
Personality
Elves are rarely content to sit still, unless it is to pore over some
forgotten tome or listen to ancient secrets. Their eyes shift
constantly and they drum their fingers rapidly when idle. They have
little use for casual conversation and frown in irritation when
engaged thusly, however, they rarely dismiss the offender, because
there is always the chance that they will say something useful.
Physical Description
Elves are short and slim, standing about 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet tall and
typically weighing 95 to 135 pounds, with the elf men the same height
and only marginally heavier that the elf women. Elves have lost much
of their grace over the centuries and move in a fidgety, halting
fasion. Elves almost never grow facial hair, but it has been known to
happen from time to time. Their hair ranges from blue-black to copper
and blonde, and their eyes tend to be dark, often brown or black. They
clothe themselves in decadent finerey whenever it is available, as
though to offset their newfound mortality. Elves age at the same rate
as half-elves in the PHB. As elves are mortal, they too must sleep
like the other races.
Relations
Elves try to make as many friends as possible, but only to gain
information, not for companionship, which often causes the elves to
alienate most people, especially those that the elves consider
barbaric, such as their wood elf cousins and the ghul. Most elves find
the caverns of the dwarves stifling and dirty, but are more than
willing to suck it up in order to get at the dwarves vast subteranian
libraries. While humans rarely share the elves obsession with
knowledge, they nonetheless make wonderful studying partners as they
have the most contact with the other races.
Alignment
The elves obsession with knowledge has often led them down darker
paths than they once might have trod, and so tend more towards
neutrality, however, at some level, they are still very much a part of
nature and retain their chaotic tendency.
Elven Lands
Most of the magesworn live in the human country of Bederland, although
many travel extensively.
Religion
The magesworm believe first, and foremost, in personal power. The pact
they made with Chaos long ago in order to learn the secrets of arcane
magic has granted them the ability to use Arcane magic, so few venture
outside the belief in personal power, although most Magesworn
subscribe the religion of Bederland in order to keep the church off
their backs, and also to get at the libraries.
Language
Magesworn speak the self-styled "high elven" tongue, but most elves
learn multiple languages so as not to cut themselves off from
potential knowledge.
