| - | It was after the Elven War that other types of elves began to appear. At first it was thought a misbirth, but as less more elves were born without the connection to their homeland. Now, what were once simply called elves are true elves. True elves make up an ever shrinking percentage of the elven population as even matings between two True Elves is not sure to produce another True Elf. Add to this fact the truth that True Elves female ripen less often than all other types of elves. | + | A [[creatures:Great Elf]] is an [[#mortal elf]] that has bonded their spirit to the [[lore:Great Tree]] of [[atlas:Ellendar]]. In many respects these are the elves rarely seen, but most likely to be those of legend. The Great Tree has its roots buried deep within the [[lore:fae lands]] and when a mortal elf bonds with the Great Tree they take on some of the aspect of the [[creatures:fae]]. Their physical features can often change and they take on a more otherworldly visage. |

| - | Even those very rare outsiders that know of the difference simply assume that True Elves are nothing more than elven royalty. While it is true that those remaining True Elves tend to be the natural leader of any elven community where they are currently staying, they are not considered royalty — only set above the other elves as an example of all that if pure in elven blood. Thus, the lead because no great elf could ever consider themselves the equal of a True Elf. | + | |

| - | True elves tend to have pale, almost translucent skin, with pale white hair that sparkles under the light. Their eyes can be any color of the rainbow and most shift as their mood does, but with no black iris like other races. Others that gaze upon a True Elf know they are looking upon something most unnatural and yet find themselves filled with a sense of calm and peace. On those very rare occasions a True Elf's anger ever does rise, their vissage is so terrible it can destroy stone. | + | |

| - | A dark elf is an elf that either willingly joined with the warrior spirit of Mardac or is a decendent of an elf that joined with the spirit. The warrior spirit always breeds true for all children of a mating. Thus if either parent is a dark elf any children born of that union will also be born with the warrior spirit. This has caused the elves to hunt down any dark elves and kill them before they can breed more of their kind. | + | A [[creatures:dark elf]] is an elf that either willingly joined with the warrior spirit of Mardac or is a decendent of an elf that joined with the spirit.

| However, if a dark elf is joined with the Elder Tree their warrior spirit will typically be diminished by the strength of the great communion and they will become a Great Elf. If their warrior's spirit is too strong there is a possibility that the Elder Tree will reject the dark elf and refuse to allow the union. | However, if a dark elf is joined with the Elder Tree their warrior spirit will typically be diminished by the strength of the great communion and they will become a Great Elf.
