Years of wars, persecution and mutual enmity created a rift between our races.
After a series of bloody conflicts with humans their cities were ruined, and the elves themselves were forced to retreat to the east, into unapproachable mountains, or to recognize human domination and accept their lot. The glory of this Elder Race is long gone, however. Their sages, scholars and artists were at the fore of their fields, creating real, breathtaking masterpieces. Reading the in-game book " Blood of Elves" adds the following glossary entry:Įlves, or Aen Seidhe, as they call themselves, are a folk known for their beauty and longevity. For this reason, some elves consider humans to be inferior and little more than hairless apes.Īside from Aen Seidhe, there exists another group of elves called the Aen Elle, who inhabit another world. In return, Imperator Emhyr var Emreis gave the elves a state of their own in Dol Blathanna and made Enid an Gleanna its ruler.Įlves believe that they were created, unlike humans, who evolved. Due to such widespread discrimination, many elves joined Scoia'tael guerrilla groups allied with Nilfgaard during the Empire's invasion of the Northern Kingdoms. Like other nonhumans, elves are often persecuted by Nordlings. Elves are capable of interbreeding with humans (thus producing half-elves and quadroons) and dryads. Their characteristic features include, pointed ears and small, identical teeth without cuspids (canine teeth). Forming a major part of the Elder Races (along with dwarves and gnomes), those known as Aen Seidhe came to the Continent on their white ships much earlier than humans, but later than the other Elder Races They live much longer than humans and are usually very attractive. Elves are one of the humanoid races that inhabit the Continent.
