Physical Description: The purebloods known as the valley elves are slightly taller than the average elf, with heights as tall as 5'10" not unknown. Like all elves, they are slender and light of build. Their skin is slightly tan, with hair of light or dark blonde and eyes of brown or hazel. They are usually considered the most "rustic" of the pureblood races.
Relations: The valley elves are predisposed to be more outgoing than their other pureblood cousins, and it is among the valley elves that most of the modern races first have contact with the pureblood elves. Their interest in nature helps them connect with the goblins. They remain neutral toward the other races but are not as apt to act in a superior manner common to the other pureblood races.
Lands: Valley elves are found most often in the continents of Atkira and Buchlayne Minor (everywhere except the Lugalate of Nur and the areas of the Thar-clans). They are few and scattered on the other continents, but anywhere there are lush, green valleys, one can potentially find a small enclave of valley elves.
Customs: The valley elves are the most "simple" of the purebloods, delighting in outdoor settings. Their crafts are utilitarian, made from natural materials and featuring patterns found throughout nature. Their clothing is plain, with colors of green, brown, and blue common. The valley elves are not thought of as a particularly musical people. Their music consists of simple instruments such as drums, chimes, and reed flutes. As a general rule, the valley elves are strict vegetarians.
Religion: Clerics of the valley elves who follow the traditional valley elf system of worship may choose two domains from among Earth, Plant, or Storm.
Language: The valley elves speak a dialect of Alfr'eni.
