Created by the god (insert god here), the first [[Elves]] could cahnge their forms at will. They lost this ability when (insert god here) cursed them for plotting with the deity (lolth), who tried and failed to usurp Corellon's dominion. When Lolth was cast into [[The Abyss]], most [[Elves]] renounced her and earned Corellon's forgiveness, but that which Corellon had taken from them was lost forever. No longer able to shap-shift at will, the [[Elves]] retreated to [[The Feywild]], their their sorrow as deepened by that plane's influence. Over time, curiosity led many of them to explore other planes of existence, including worlds in the [[Material Plane]]. [[Elves]] have pointed ears and lack facial and body hair. They live for around 750 years, and they don't sleep but instead enter a trance when they need to rest. In that state, they remain aware of their surroundings while immersing themselves in memories and meditations. An environment subtly transforms [[Elves]] after they inhabit it for am millennium or more, and it grants them certain kinds of magic. [[Drow]], [[High Elves]], and [[Wood Elves]] are examples of [[Elves]] who have been transformed thus. ### Subraces #### Drow ![[Drow#Summary]] #### High Elves ![[High Elves]] #### Shadar-Kai ![[Shadar-Kai#Summary]] #### Wood Elves ![[Wood Elves]]
