[edit] Characteristics

Elves are on the average somewhat larger than humans (≈190cm), and they are usually somewhat more lightly built. Their most remarkable characteristic are their pointed ears. Their skin color varies, similarly as with humans, from white to black. Thanks to metabolic tests performed, it has been shown that Elves have a lifespan of several hundred years upwards, with certain unexplained genes (usually found in powerfully magical elves) giving them an even longer lifespan. Like Orks, Elves are endowed with a greater number and more sensitive rod cells in their eyes, giving them natural lowlight vision.
