Elves are the oldest species on Leurut. On average slightly shorter than Humans, they are extremely long lived, and have a powerful affinity for arcane magic. There are a plethora of Elven species, associated with different terrain and elements. They are sometimes thought to predate the very Twelve Gods themselves.

Some Elves are apart from their bretheren, possessing eternal natural lifespans, and are termed Elven Lords. In addition to their physiological benefits, Elven Lords also govern the two floating cities, Skyspear and Rootshield, at least one of which can almost always be seen above Leurut at any given time.
