Elven

When the ashes fell, they changed everything they touched–even humans. Elves are an ash-touched humanoid variant that appeared after the Sundering. They are distinguished by their long, pointed ears.

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.
