Elves come from the realm of Alfheim or “Elfland” as the other races call it. Theirs is a race blessed with long life and undeniable beauty.

Coming from a different realm, elves are gifted with a natural resistance to harmful magic and natural immunity to common diseases and ailments. However, all these gifts come at a price. With their blood tied to land without iron and worked metal, elves are naturally weak against it.
