Noble Elves are the direct result of a 1st generation intentional crossbreed between Condorians and Wood Elves... The intention of this action is to strengthen noble families within the Empire and consolidate the remaining 12 Imperial cities... Noble Elves are found in all fields of activity and are equally equipped both mentally and physically...

These Elves have paler skin than their cousins... In fact these Elves are the result of a cross between certain Noble Elf families and certain families from Condorian nobility, in order to form alliances to consolidate the Empire at a time when it was crumbling... Certain individuals have become great sailors and adventurers returning home with tales of great discoveries and strange civilisations. Their eyesight is well adapted to the darkness and they are normally very agile when moving in underground passages and caves... They admire the gleam of gems and precious stones and usually have a tendency to collect objects of art, as they appreciate the refinements and luxuries in life and good wine... They have created trade links with the Dwarves of Durncrag... Their main city, Mengelia, has been built on a great lake, to the north on Durncrag... A minority of Noble Elves have become experts in training horses of great skill and power, even as legend has it, the Pegasus, which no one has seen for centuries... Many Noble Elves become Knights of the Empire as this provides them with ample opportunities to die gloriously and better their family's title and name... Normally the eldest male is expected to make this sacrifice, whereas the younger males are to continue the lineage... Although this is the norm, it is not uncommon for other males of the family to compete and up-the-ante, usually resulting in the deaths of most or all males from the same family... The remainder usually spend their time in intellectual pursuits such as spell casting and meditation, basically any path that can better them and raise them above the average individual...
