Elf

Elves are one of the many humanoid races on Odrix. Unlike other races, elves didn't originate on any one continent, and have always been present everywhere on the planet. As a result, their culture is the most widespread and varied of any race's. They also have the longest lifespans of any sentient species.

Subraces
A common belief is that Athys created elves in the image of nature, with each subrace representing a different feature of the world. This is likely false, as it originates from ancient folklore and has no evidence to support it, but the names have stuck.

In the past, there was a social hierarchy between them, supposedly based on Athys' feelings towards the feature of nature a subrace represents. Wood elves were at the top because the goddess favors the forests, and dark elves were at the bottom because the underground is separate from the rest of her creation. It should be noted that Athys herself always hated this belief, and it was nothing more than a mortal invention to excuse discrimination.

This stopped being an official policy thousands of years ago, but some beliefs from this system still linger in today's society. For example, wood elves are often seen as the default kind of elf, and some see sand elves and drow as being less trustworthy than other elves. However, these attitudes have been dying out, and most no longer care about subrace at all.

Wood Elves
Wood elves are, as previously stated, often considered to be the "average" elves. They are about as tall as humans, and are often stockier than the other subraces, though not always. Dark hair colors are the most common, with lighter ones being rarer, and green not being unheard of.

Grass Elves
Also known as high elves, grass elves supposedly embody the grasslands and plains of the world. They tend to be tall, standing at about 5'11 on average. Most have light hair, with blonde being common, though some do have darker colors.

Sand Elves
Sand elves are the least common type of elf, though by no means rare. They usually have dark skin and hair colors, and slightly larger ears than other elves.

Stone Elves
Stone elves are native to the underground. Those that choose to live above ground often experience light sensitivity due to their race's adaptation to living in dark environments. They are the shortest of the elven subraces, averaging only 5'0. Their skin ranges from obsidian to medium grey, and white is the most common hair color. Many have red eyes.
