Largely accepted as the oldest race in Elysium, the Elves are a happy and well travelled people, but live mostly in the thick forests of the southern continent, many within the city of Tylorus, a stronghold constructed around a mighty oak whose growth has reflected the growing strength of the city. The peacefulness of the Elves, along with their long life and wisdom, means that many Elves have gathered much wisdom and enlightenment. Often Elves are fiercely religious, but while this does not hold for all Elves, a love for nature does. A few Elves, abhorrent to their brethren, do not share this love, and their hearts are usually corrupt. These Elves become Dark Elves, and are few and far between.
