Physical Description: The star elves are nearly identical to the eha Alfr in terms of build, height, and weight. Their skin color is a dusky light gray-brown and they have hair of light brown, dark brown, or black. Their eyes are bright blue or, rarely, lavender. .
Relations: The star elves are intellectuals, students of the fey races and the nature magick that the fey use. As such they are slightly awkward socially, preferring the solitude of their studies or the quiet emptiness of a starlit night sky rather than the loud commotion of modern civilized life. Most of the modern races mistake the star elves� preference for solitude for rudeness or disrespect, but most star elves are too consumed with their magical studies to even notice. As is common with the purebloods, they get along with their own kind the best, and treat everyone else with a neutral attitude.
Lands: Star elves are most common in the areas of the Rijnbosch Republic, throughout Buchlayne Minor with the exception of the Lugalate of Nur and the areas controlled by the Thar Clans, Verundhi, and in Atkira. There are few star elves in Sonsia or in the Buchlayne.
Customs: The customs of the star elves revolve around nature and natural settings. Star elf music is very different from that of every other race on the world continent, being very tied to the natural world. Star elf instruments are constructed to represent the sounds of nature and their musical compositions have titles such as �Wind Blowing Through Trees� and �Bird Skims the Water�s Surface�. Untrained listeners have often been fooled by such performances, believing the music to be actual sounds from nature. Star elf artisans use natural patterns in their artwork and dress, replicating the patterns of vines, leaves, and flowers throughout their works. They are also known for dressing in colors according to the season of year. In autumn, dark reds, browns, and oranges predominate, matched with burnished bronze pieces. In spring, bright greens and yellows are the colors of choice, matched with highly polished bright gold.
Religion: Like all pureblood elves, the religious practices of the star elves are a mystery to non-purebloods. It is known that they hold some of their ceremonies outdoors under starlit skies and revere the concepts of Fey and Nature magick. Traditional star elf clerics may pick two domains from among the Elf, Fey, and Magic domains.
Language: Star elves speak a dialect of Alfr�eni as noted under the gold elf description.
