Dark Legacy :: manual races Winged Elf
Winged Elf
Graceful and striking, proud, ruthless and serious.
Rumor has it that in ancient times, celestial beings kept elves within their
halls as servants and retainers. This close proximity eventually resulted in
relations between elves and celestials. The result are the winged elves. As
time passed the celestials began to retreat further and further from the world,
leaving their servants to fend for themselves. The winged elves were eventually
abandoned by their masters and left to defend themselves against the new races
of the world. They live high in the mountains, in large cities with soaring
spires and beautiful towers. From their cities high in the mountains the winged
elves keep to themselves and watch the people below go about their mundane
lives. The winged elves are a proud, fierce people. Many of the mortal races
believe winged elves to be cruel and callous, however that is a common
misconception. The winged elves are not a cruel people, they simple believe in
the survival of the fittest. Winged elves stand slightly taller than humans,
with broad feathered wings on their back that allow them to fly with
unparalleled grace. Other than their wings, they physically resemble all other
elves, just bigger and more muscular. While they are in no way robust or
strong, they are not the frail forestdwellers the wood elves are. They are a
competitive people and live for the feel of the wind and the rush of a fight.
While they are not hostile with strangers they are wary against anyone without
wings, they simply cannot trust those surface dwellers.
