Humans and elves sometimes wed, the elf is attracted to the human's energy and the human to the elf's grace.

These marriages end quickly as elves count years because of a human's life is so brief but they leave an enduring legacy - half elf children.

The life of a half-elf can be hard. If raised by elves the half elf seems to grow with astounding spped, reaching maturity within two decades. The half elf becomes an adult long before they have had time to learn the intricacies of elven art and culture or even grammer. They leave behind childfood friends, becoming physically an adult but culturally still a child by elven standards. Typically they leave their eleven home, which is no longer familiar and finds their way among humans.

If, on the other hand, they are raised by humans , the half elf finds themself different from their peers; more aloof, more sensitive, less ambitious and slower to mature. Some half elves try to fit in among humans, while others find their identities in their differences. Most find places for themselves in human lands but some feel like outsiders all their lives.
