Half-Elves
The special kinship of some Humans and the rare occurrenceof a socially tolerant Elf sometimes leads to amorous relations, result-
ing in children with both Human and Elven blood. The offspring of
such unions have an ideal complement of a sturdier human build
with the fair delicate looks of the Elves, and are known as Half-Elves.
The difference in Half-Elf and Elf lies mostly in the hair color and
facial structure - the face is more "human," with a more pronounced
jaw and sometimes even facial hair. The hair is as varied as Human
hair, though the most common shades are from blonde, through brown
and even into a brownish-auburn. Their sturdier bodies also betray
them as Half-breeds, as well as the slightly different and more human
ears, though they are still undeniably Elven in origin. Scorned in
many circles as neither Human nor Elven, many find it hard to "fit
in" anywhere. Their commonly good manner, strong knowledge and
heritage in both Human and Elven lore, and particular charm and
skill with music, however, often win them approval wherever their
travels take them.
