Elves are the minions of Rhea Silvia, the god of water and greenery. They are a race of beautiful and long lived people descending from the greater fae that had been created long ago by the Progenitor. Their most notable features are their beauty, long hair and pointed ears. Since the elves have strong connections with nature they have a strong image as vegetarians, most elves hunted like normal and ate meat and fish, it is the duty of the elves as rulers of the forest to hunt and fish to preserve the nature while elves who don't eat meat or fish are elves that underwent special training and became strongly fae in nature. Elves live longer than any other known race, they can live easily for hundreds of years, sometimes thousands depending on the strength of their blood. Elves are noble, their culture strongly believes to the point it's common sense that the weak are to be protected while the strong are the first to make sacrifices.
Rhea Silvia took the fae's admirations for humans into account and made it so that the two races would be compatible, it was said that this is the reason that humans and elves can produce mix-blood children, their elven side even comes from their grandparents. These elves are called half-elves, they are beautiful, skilled and lived long lives, yet not to the same extent to as elves. Their position in human and elven society is harsh, it hard for them to gain equal treatment among humans or elves, they were too exceptional to be humans and too quickly maturing to be an elf, it is hard to be treated as equals in either society.
