The Elves of Saivryth are another of the Jack of all Trades Races in the World of Saivryth.  There are numerous Elven Kingdoms in the World of Saivryth, one of the most notable being Cerdrinal on the continent of Dhenthal, which is home to Merdressa Maltrees, Leader of the Arch Mage Council.  The Elves of Saivryth follow many of the Gods of Saivryth, as well as Mother Lord Dorsissa Allashan, and Father Lord Illvoris Chashan.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.  You can speak, read, and write one extra language of your choice.  Elves speak Elven, and most also know Common and Sylvan.  Bonus Languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc.

As an elf, you have a keen mind and a mastery of at least the basics of magic. In many fantasy gaming worlds, there are two kinds of elves. One type is haughty and reclusive, believing themselves to be superior to non-elves. The other type is more common and more friendly, and often encountered among humans and other races.

Elven Traits (Ex): Elves possess the following racial traits.

• Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

• Low-light vision.

• Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

• Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

• Immunity to sleep spells and effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects. (Not reflected in the saving throw modifiers given here.)

• Trance. Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

• Cantrip. You know one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it.

COMBAT

Elves are cautious warriors and take time to analyze their opponents and the location of the fight if at all possible, maximizing their advantage by using ambushes, snipers, and camouflage. They prefer to fire from cover and retreat before they are found, repeating this maneuver until all of their enemies are dead.

Elf Weapon Training. You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.

They prefer longbows, shortbows, rapiers, and longswords. In melee, elves are graceful and deadly, using complex maneuvers that are beautiful to observe. Their wizards often use sleep spells during combat because these won’t affect other elves.
