Drow (Dark Elf)
Descended from a dissident group of uasal that marched alongside Jari, Goddess of Undeath, the drow were cursed to suffer when under sunlight by Laoiche, Goddess of Sky. They are now the proud race protected by Balan Aiséirithe, ruling over the sunless Ishtar.

Cha +1
age:
An elf can live up to almost 1500 years and is considered an adult just after their second century. This absurdly long lifespan reflects on how they rationalize and feel, being more often amused than excited, and more curious than greedy. It is easy to get on their friendly side, but slow to become a real friend or enemy.

Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos.
