Elves
A general term for the long-eared fantasy race, often regarded as mysterious beings that exist only in legends.
In practical terms: extremely rare in the human world, but not completely absent. They may appear in special locations such as deep magic research institutes, adventurer guild dungeons, or mixed-race cities.
In mega-capitals with highly diverse populations—including various demihumans, underground races, and humans—you might occasionally spot an elf walking the streets, though they always carry an air of not truly belonging.
Types of Elves
Commonly divided into two kinds (well, some people insist there are three, but that’s not the point :P)

1. Children of the World Tree (commonly just called “Elves”)
Appearance: Long ears, gentle and flawless elegant features, naturally bestowed delicate beauty, tall and perfectly proportioned bodies.
Talent: Exceptional sensitivity to magical elements, often displaying remarkable creativity in spell application.
Habits & Belief: Born with an affinity for nature; their divinely crafted bodies prefer forests and ancient trees. They usually live around the World Tree or its offshoots, hidden deep in woodlands.
Faith: Life originates from trees; upon death, the soul returns to the tree. They share a sacred symbiosis with trees. Overall image: noble, aloof, almost saintly “children of nature.”
2. Elves Born from Dragonflame (also called “Fairies” / 妖精)
Origin: Not descendants of the World Tree, but directly birthed from the intent and flame of ancient dragons.
Dragon Background:
Ancient dragons possessed near-divine creative power, a gift from the primordial bestowal.
Their descendants inherit the same level of power upon reaching maturity.
(What humans call “dragons” could, upon serious examination, only be described as “enlightened giant lizards”…)
Characteristics: At the moment of birth, they are imprinted with a single, unyielding “Meaning” — most commonly, to guard a specific hoard or treasure for eternity.
In plain words: They are beings whose freedom is bound by imposed purpose, essentially slaves created to protect treasure.
Of course, this is how most dragons operate—not all, but most.
Appearance & Aura: Long ears and otherworldly beauty like their World Tree kin, but infused with draconic traits—slit pupils, subtle scale-like sheen on skin, hair or eyes carrying ember-like hues. Far more dangerous, oppressive, and lonely in presence.
