Elves are slender, fey demihumans with pointed ears. They have extremely long lifespans, being nigh immortal. This long-term perspective gives them a tendency to seem aloof to the concerns of humans, or even frivolous. Elvish music, arts, and crafts are renowned as the finest among all folk. Above all, they love nature and magic. Elves typically weigh about 120 pounds and are between 5 and 51⁄2 feet tall.
