History
Edit
Elves are considered the most ancient race to many realms. They have been involved in lots of evolution, and there are many subraces. They are also many half-breeds of elves too. They have fought in wars against Trolls and humans. They live in many habitats, in all different worlds. The main representation of elves in fantasy and video games was created by British author J.R.R Tolkien.

Trivia
Edit
- In their point of origin, The Lord of The Rings, Tolkien never mentions that they have pointed ears.
- However, elves are almost universally described as very tall, with very keen senses - hearing and eyesight being common, and having an acute sense of smell is not unheard of.
- However, heights in the subraces can differ. The elves of Gielinor and the Dunmer and Bosmer of Tamriel are shorter than the average human.
