Crystalline Elves!

Crystalline Elves!The Crystalline Elves are a very elusive group of Elfkind. These elves live far in the northern offshores of Vastonia amongst the bitter cold Ice Hammer Taps. Little is known about these rare people and their unusual behaviors. They tend to conceal their homes within the ice crevices that surround the land from which the originate. Crystalline Elves rarely venture from the safety of their homelands. Seeing the world as a dangerous place and even more so, a place where unique people are confronted more often with cruelties, than kindness and/or compassion.

These elves are nonviolent by nature but do train warriors for the sheer purpose of defense against their natural enemies "the Bugbears". However these conflicts are few and far between, since the Crystalline Elves are masters of concealment as well as false evasion. Unlike their far-distant cousins the Drow, Crystalline Elves flourish in brightened areas, but find total darkness extremely hard to overcome. Their visual range in darkness is somewhat lower than that of other elves, but what is lost in those such circumstances is regained in navigation, wit and speed. Crystalline Elves were one of the first Elfkind to inhabit the land's of Vastonia and will most likely be one of the last.

Physical Features

Crystalline Elves vary in shape as much as any other Elf, with the exception of their albino colored skin. They are are taller and more muscular than other Elves, averaging in height from 4'8 to 5'8 tall, weighing anywhere from 102 to 145 lbs. All Crystalline Elves have snow white hair. Their eyes are generally pink, red, emerald, or sometimes blue. Crystalline Elves live exceptionally long lives, like that of the Gray Elves. Reaching ripe old ages of up to 1,100 years.

Note: female Crystalline Elves are never given opportunities to become warriors, they are almost always Cleric's or Magic-Users when amongst their own societies.
