Introduction:The elves are of the same average height as humans, some ranging taller and some ranging shorter. But the common thread that seems to run within the elven heritage seems to be their slim frame, pointed ears, features that lends them a fae air. Some of the wood elves have almond-shaped eyes. How an elf chooses to live depends entirely upon their location.
All elves used to be called the Eldar, those who accepted the summons and traveled to Amaril. Those who refused and still remain on Middle-earth are Called the Sindarihn (Grey-elves). They are divied into different clans:Vanyar (Fair Elves/Royal elves - referring to their golden-blond hair)The Royal Elves of Egaroth:Descendants of elves that ruled Eledar in the 2nd age they still fight to regain their lost Kingdom. They live with their woodland brethren of Egaroth in their newbuilt cities.
- Skin colour: Their complexion can vary, depending upon an elf's fondness for the sun. (fair and light complexion-Darkly tanned)
- Eye colour: Green, blue, brown, amber, gray, hazel ( brown/gold or brown/green)
- Hair colour: Stark white to midnight black, with shades of blues, greens, normal blonde or brunette
Royal elf (High-elf) personal traits:- Wherever elves live one theme runs true: Live in peace with the land. Some elves frowns upon the humans ignorant ways of life in relation to the Mother Earth. The Royal elves are more organized and preoccupy themselves with smithwork, sculpture, music and other arts, and of course, what to eat.
- Males and females can do almost everything equally; however, the females often specialize in the arts of healing while the males go to war. This is because they believe that taking life interferes with the ability to preserve life. However, Elves are not stuck in rigid roles; females can defend themselves at need as well as males, and many males are skilled healers as well

Wood ElvesThe rangers and hunters living in the wilds, guarding and traveling Egaroth
Wood elves are easily identifiable by their coppery skin and green, brown, or hazel eyes. Wood elven hair is usually black or brown. As a people wood elves are largely seen as calm and level-headed. Arousing strong emotions in wood elves is not something that is easily done, although many do have a strong aversion for large cities.
To wood elves, the trappings of civilization, including the mightiest of fortresses or tallest walls, are transient and impermanent things that will eventually be overcome by the long processes of nature. To many, this attitude seems condescending, weakening the bonds between wood elves and other races. Additionally, wood elves can sometimes seem off-putting compared to other elves, with a gruff manner that makes them less charismatic, in spite of their avowed compassion and humility.
The druids Lindar, or "Singers", they are known for their fair voices. They reside in the forests of Egaroth
Druids are keepers of the world who walk the path of nature, following the wisdom of the Ancients spirits of Egaroth and Middle-earth, healing and nurturing the world. To a them, nature is a delicate balance of actions, in which even the smallest imbalance can create storming turmoil from peaceful skies. Druids draw their power from this wild energy, using it to change their shapes and command the forces of nature.
The Dark ElvesThese elves were corrupted my Morgoroth`s evil. Murnandihl offered the elves to leave Middle-earth and head for Amaril. Half of the elven race refused and stayed behind despite Morgoroth`s taint sweeping across the land to help the humans and dwarves in rebuilding their world. The elves got accused by Murnandihl, implying that these elves willingly tolerated the shadows Morgoroth had put upon Middle-earth, and got their ability to travel to Amaril stripped from them. The taint changed the hearts of merely half the elves that stayed behind.
