Elf

Elves,  Homo Ergaster Homo Perfectus, are a species of tall, slender, magically adept humanoids.

Description
In 4,000 CU, a group of human wizards from the city of Atlantis commenced a new project. They took specimens of Homo Ergaster, better known as Goblins, and attempted to use the base goblinoid genome to create an entirely new species, intermixed with Fey and Human traits, traits desirable to the Atlanteans. They would be better than humans in every way - longer lived, eternally beautiful, naturally adept at magic, unburdened by sleep, etc.

After Atlantis fell, the Elves were left without purpose. They began to war amongst themselves, create petty kingdoms, and separate tribe by tribe… until the two ancient rulers arrived. King Oberon and Queen Titania, who had once served the very greatest of the Atlantean lords, had also been blessed with unique and powerful magic, magic that they had together honed into the very pinnacle of arcane potential. They united the disparate elf tribes into two great kingdoms: Arden and Avalon, and have ruled ever since; Oberon from his palace of mirrors, and Titania from her World Tree.

Since the fall, the Elves have discovered some troubling things about their own biology. Firstly, as the Changeling entry mentions, they are unable to reproduce without great difficulty, as interbreeding between elves often results in a family line rapidly regressing back into goblinoid form. Additionally, for some strange reason, exposure to prolonged darkness causes melanin levels to spike to extreme levels, quite literally blackening the skin of those Elves that choose to live in the Underdark.

Culture
There are a few distinct cultures made up primarily of elf species, each one radiating from a location of resettlement after 0 AU. The Elf Lands of Avalon and Arden are likely the most well known, which share a great deal with their colonies in the New World; but there are also elf settlements in the Underdark, the “drow”, whose melanin levels have spiked due to prolonged lack of sunlight, a weird quirk in Elf biology; the Finnish Sylvan elves, who share similar features but may very well be an entirely different species; and the Polynesian Elves, who populate a small island off the coast of Formia, and have intermixed heavily with the human Maori population.
