Elf

The Firstborn, Kings in Exile

Once the masters of the World, the Elves have been reduced to vagabonds and wanderers, the mournful descendants of their broken Empire. Arrogant, decadent, and cruel, Elves are still masters of the magical arts, but lack the discipline and organization to re-conquer all that their former slaves, the Sons of Men, have taken from them. What few Elves still remain are distrusted by all and treated as outcasts rather than Kings - their legendary immortality now a curse, they wander through the ruins of the World their elders made, watching them crumble and waiting to die. The remnants of the great Elvish nations can still be seen, borne out in each elves' skin tone: White in the oldest families, who ruled in the cold Northlands; Brown for those born to the Lords of the wood; and Green for the coastal families who once mapped the great Seas.

Bloodline (Sub-Race) Runes

In the Rise of the Upstart Gods 2.5 Patch, April 2004, three elven sub-race runes ("Bloodline Runes") were added to the game. These could be taken at character creation or can be obtained from a "Bloodmage" vendor for free in a freehold. However, the "Bloodmage" vendor no longer exists, and the Bloodline Runes cannot be taken in game. Their cost has also been reduced from 12 stat points to 10.
