 Being immortal spirits in a pure, unaging body, Elves do not die of natural causes.  However, after three or four centuries of life, most Elves choose to depart the world.  They do not view death with any alarm or concern, though they never share their thoughts on the subject with any of their shorter-lived companions.

+==== Dark Elf ====
+Spawned in the deep places of the world, the Dark Elf has white hair and particularly pale skin.  They are blind, but have a tremor-sense that allows them to detect any creature within twelve meters;  this allows them to disregard darkness entirely, treating [[unbound:rules:environment#light|darkness]] as though it were bright light within that range.  They are also more robust than Elves from the surface, gaining a +1 to Body and five additional stamina.
 ==== Lunar Elf ====
-Lunar Elves draw power from the celestial bodies, particularly the moon. They gain a +1 bonus to Education and a +1 bonus to [[.:skills:Insight]].
