Eladrin

The Eladrin claim to be the oldest of Dubek’s races, and certainly they ruled over almost all of the continent They are roughly of human height, standing from 5'5" – 6'1" on average, but are lighter, weighing in from 130 – 180 lbs. Even exceptionally strong high elves look rather slim compared with other races, looking athletic rather than muscular. Most high elves are fair-skinned rather than dark, and most elves have black hair, with silvery hues common among some prominent noble families. Elves, grow at a decelerating rate throughout their lives.

Very young high elves mature at a rate comparable with humans but during adolescence slow to a near stop until about 110 years of age, at which point high elves are considered mature. Elves then remain vigorous and active until the middle of their third century. Even so, after this most high elves suffer few of the infirmities of old age that plague other races, remaining full of life until the end.

The relationship between the Eladrin and many of the other peoples of Dubek has soured over the last several centuries due to a war instigated by the Elves. This conflict would affect much of Aeden, Gaius and Ur-Shakkar and although the Eladrin were defeated and annexed to a single city state, much resentment is felt towards the Eladrin – in particular Eladrin mages. This conflict was known as the Terrorflare.

Eladrin may move and live freely throughout Dubek but must live to learn with the wary glances that often follow them.
