Physical Description: The silver elves have the same overall build and features of the eha Alfr with a few minor coloration changes. Their skin is very fair, and they have hair of silvery-gray, black with gray flecks, or rarely white tinged with a faint blue. Their eyes are blue or green. They average between 5'6" and 5'8" tall.
Relations: The silver elves practice the purebloods' sense of pride and superiority but to a much lesser degree than the jade elves. They get along best with members of their own kind and with the other pureblood races. Their affinity for music helps provide a bridge for them to the other races, most of whom appreciate the silver elves' musical and artistic abilities.
Lands: The silver elves are found in many of the same areas as the gold elves, in the Buchlayne, Buchlayne Minor (specifically in Kovlich, Margova, the Throecian Empire, and the Free City of Ryn), and in Verundhi. There are few, if any, silver elves in Sonsia or Atkira.
Customs: The silver elves are the keepers of lore, art, and music of the pureblood elves and their customs are represntative of these roles. The silver elves are a musical people and widely regarded as the best musicians among the purebloods. Their compositions involve a lot of harmonies between different instruments, and most of them have a sad, otherwordly quality. In their role as artisans, the silver elves create art with finely detailed filigree and inlays, as well as gold and silver leaf paintings, sculptures and carvings, and written works in the form of lyric poems, ballads, odes, and anthems. Most silver elf art has a theme known as the "Six and One" with six similar items offset by one very different one.
Religion: Like all purebloods, the silver elves do not share their traditional religious practices with outsiders. Clerics may choose domains from among Charm, Knowledge, or Music.
Language: Silver elves speak a dialect of Alfr'eni as noted under the entry for gold elves.
Adventurers: Silver elves are not natural adventurers, but they do travel about from time to time in order to gather information on the history of the purebloods and their art. Of all the purebloods, silver elves are the most scholarly, although all purebloods are known to be thoughtful and pensive. Although they are excellent artisans and musicians, the silver elves do not make a practice of performing for others. Their musical and artistic practices are sacred to the silver elves, and it is not considered appropriate to use such works for material gain. Of the purebloods, the silver elves are the least likely to adventure and yet the most likely to have information about the past that adventurers crave.
