Biology
Since they first emerged, elves have felt compelled to wear woven headbands or necklaces. Without them, they experience feelings of anxiety or even vertigo. Symptoms vary from elf to elf. It’s unclear whether these are physical symptoms of a psychological dependence, symptoms of withdrawal, or something else entirely. Scholars have long attempted to figure out this compulsion, but theories about it are as varied as they are outlandish.
History
Elves became common after the Sundering.

Pierced Ears
Many elves pierce their ears. Different cultures have different styles of piercings, with many pushing the limits of exactly how much the ears can support.
