Plains Elves
Plains Elves are one of two elf races. They are inhabitants of northern Emerga, a temperate continent to the northwest of Eiran. Trade, mercenary work and general curiosity lead individual elves to visit Eiran. Plains Elves appear dainty and fragile but are physically tough in spite of their appearance. As one of the most well-trained races, Plains Elves receive the highest magic proficiencies of any race. They receive a +2 to intelligence, but a -1 to athletics and strength. Plains Elves are vegetarian and cannot eat meat of any kind and prefer to not wear armor made of animal skins.
Ethnic varieties
Plains Elves are identified by their house they belong to. In the Third Age, there are three: House Roohiila, House Maaroa, and House Deuha.
House Roohiila
Like all houses, this was founded in the Third Age. Members of Roohila are known for their abilities to handle animals, having developed a category of song they can use to communicate with animals. They are uniquely suited to bards and dancing, but also support magic in general, as they are gifted Fine Support Crystals as young adults.
House Maaroa
House Maaroa has a strong religious tradition, worshiping Monos, the god of Magic. As a result, they are the most suited to the Magic classes. They are gifted Fine Combat crystals as teens.House Deuha
Members of this house are generalists and opportunists who lack scruples to those outside of their community. As a result, Deuha has become notorious for working in mercenary fields. Members are still magically gifted but prefer to hone their sword and lance craft. They receive less penalties for dismounted combat if they are a mounted class.Base Attributes
Plains Elves receive +2 to intelligence and -1 to atheletics and strength. They are given the highest proficiencies at 15 per category. Regardless of their class, this is true, so even a berserker can know magic of some kind. Base Magic Proficiencies:- Combat: 15
- Healing: 15
- Support: 15
