Elvish

Elvish
Elvish are a strange case of racial mixing and broken cultures. After an unknown period, a split between [http://gold-rush-dd.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elfen_Farce? True Elves] and Humans was apparent, and those with human-like appearance but elfen ability were labeled as the "Elvish". Unfortunately for the elves, the elvish proved themselves to be superior, and after a long civil dispute between the two races in 1577, the elvish rose up against the elves and successfully took over their capital lands and began ruling the kingdoms.

In 1735, the "White Embassy", a group controlled by Elvish leaders, determined that the human colonization effort were resulting in legitimate colonies in legitimate land claims, and hurriedly whipped up a colonial expansion themselves, pressing forward into the frontier.

Ever since their push into the frontier a few hundred years ago, they've set up quite a few territories that they control fiercely. They cannot compete with the human colonies, but they're the best off in the southern regions of Heidhelm

Physical, Mental and Magical ability
The elvish are a meek race with strong magical capabilities. They are known for their quick wits and intelligence, but unfortunately aren't the strongest out there. Unlike their brute Orcish counterpart, the Elvish lack physical strengths. Their mental capacity trumps all others, and their capacity to learn is what gives them an edge in modern times.

Relations to Other Races
Elves and Humans have been at odds since the olden days. However, the political differences between the Elves and the Elvish meant that the road to good relations with humankind was possible. In the frontier, Elvish and Humans share much in common and usually are the first races to actively work together towards a shared goal. With all said, there is still a minute distrust between races that sometimes shows up.

Elvish and Orcish are almost always at odds, both races practically having radically different ideals. The orcish tend to stay in their tribes and usually don't bother the elvish territories, so nothing usually comes of their indifferences.

The elvish and the Scalefolk do not have any sort of relations and only recently have they began to interact with each other's cultures. Due to the scalefolk's intimidating appearance, elvish tend to avoid scalefolk entirely. Exceptions do occur and the scalefolk's ideals usually help spark an odd friendship.

The elvish may be the least hostile race towards the Dogfolk, as native dogfolk shared land with the elvish during the civil dispute between the elvish and the elfen kingdoms. While not outright accepting of the oversized dogs, elvish don't particularly mind their presence and often times dogfolk end up hanging around elvish territories.

Due to the history of the Idonites, elvish people tend to generally avoid contact with the small beings. The elvish realize their past magical prowess and usually interact with caution. During the slavery of the idonites by the humans, the elvish were the first to seek mass liberation, but ultimately weren't involved in ending slavery primarily.
