Elves
Elves are a higher form of fae, nearing angels and demons in power. They have a small population and tend to have little dealings with humans in the modern age, but they have long been in the employ of the gods. Elves often move between the Maze of Dreams and Zephaer, and during earlier ages, sometimes appeared on the Material Plane acting as messengers of the gods alongside angels. They were known well enough by early humans that when they came to know the Idayn, they confused them with the elves that had served the gods. To this day, “elf” is common in the modern vernacular and used to identify any individual with tapered ears and an otherwise human body. “Half-elf” has become the accepted term to call many individuals of mixed blood between humans and the elemental races.
True elves look very much like the Idayn, aside from their ears. True elves have only pointed ears, while Idayn have long and tapered ears that stick out from the sides of their head. Otherwise, they do look alike, both being fair of skin, hair, and eyes. Unlike some other fae races, there are both male and female elves.
