Elves are magical demi-humans, whose lives span several centuries. Elves have an affinity for nature and are skilled in both martial and magical arts. Thus, it is a common sight to see an Elf wielding a blade or bow in combat, while using a spell book to cast magic. While Elves possess many natural gifts, their one true weakness is their vulnerability to iron; prolonged exposure to iron will create a burning sensation, causing injury to the Elf.
