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.

Wood Elves have darker skin tones, sometimes tinged with green, and are taller than other Elves. They have a strong cultural connection to druidism and other natural forms of magic, although they do not seem to be inherently better at these arts. They possess some of the finest weavers and carpenters in Leurut. Naturally, they tend to make their homes in forests.

They maintain the majority of the Elven Shelters found in Leurut, doing so out of obligation to Ahm and the other gods.

Wood Elves have a reputation for timidity and kindness in Leurut, but in the Wood Elf Empire, they instead have a reputation for brutality and tyrannical regimentality. There is little love for the Leurutian “Duguþnæmere” among that far-off imperial state.

The High Elves are masters of magic and academy, both before and after the revolutions of Prophet Yroþ van Døschri. This arcane skill is partly cultural, and partly intrinsic, it seems. Even among Elves, their lifespan and haughtiness is notable. They used to possess an empire of their own in Leurut before the Mogu destroyed it, but may still have some home on Kannak. The god Rozmajin has the form of a High Elf.

High Elves have particularly pale skin tones, and do not tan in the sun. High Elves typically focus intently on particular tasks or learnings, for years at a time, thinking about them even in sleep or meditation, and in intense enough periods of time literally burning up. It is thought the practice of mages and scholars wearing robes stems from the loose dress that High Elves would wear as a precautionary measure.
