| Although not properly elves, half-elves are included here because they do possess elven ancestry. There are rare exceptions, but most half-elves are also predominantly half human. Elven genes cannot typically cross with anything other that human genes. Most half-elves are of high elf descent, though again, there are always exceptions.
Half-elves are not readily accepted into either elf or human communities. They often become introverted, sullen, and embittered. Largely, it is a matter of the half-elf in question and the society with which he or she deals. They are never accepted into grey elf society, for half elves are a reminder of all that the grey elves wish to eliminate.
Since they are human and elven both in demeanor, they are easily recognizable as such. They are taller and heavier than the average elf, though their hair and eyes often reflect those of the human parent. In all cases they will still have the pointed ears and angular features of the elven parent. |
