An elf is a mythical being with magical powers often appearing as a young attractive humanoid with pointed ears.
Elves tend to be slender, graceful, and artistic. They range greatly in size with some no more than a few inches tall while others may reach a height of six feet or more. Their skin tone varies from very pale to pitch black.
Some of the smaller elves have insect-like wings. The most common wing types are butterfly, dragonfly, moth, and bee. These little winged elves can be correctly referred to as fairies.
There is a class of female elves, sometimes called nature spirits or nymphs, that live within and watch over forests, individual trees or flowers, groves, valleys, oceans, mountains, lakes, swamps, and other natural areas or growing things.
They are not immortal but do live for a very long time. The males occasionally appear very old but some males and most females use sorcery to hide their age.
They are found both above and below ground in areas that are not heavily populated by humans. The skin tone or area where an elf is found does not determine its nature. Both good and evil exists within each group and to some degree within each individual.
The ability to reproduce with humans (and other beings) is common among certain elves and occasionally hybrids are born. Elves that appear to humans are usually part human themselves.
Generally elves remain unseen and only affect humans in subtle ways such as through dreams or nightmares. In rare cases, if they are greatly offended or greatly pleased, their involvement may be more profound, for example they can both cause and cure serious diseases.
Any disease that causes twisting or withering of the body may be associated with elves as well as certain skin diseases and fertility problems. A few specific examples include stroke, scoliosis, paralysis, psoriasis, and infertility.
To appease offended elves you must show a grand respect for your environment, including all of nature and the little things that live and grow, as well as yourself and your personal living space.
Also known as alves, ellefolk, grove folk, erls, and mannikins.
