Elves

Ancient History
In times last, when the world was young and shaped by the thoughts of gods that ruled it, elves came in to being. How, when and why remains unknown. All we can say for certain is that the elve, at some point in history, used to be humans.

Birth and Early life
An elf is hatched from an egg, after roughly 8 months of incubation. Once hatched they are fed and cared for like any other mammal.

Mutations
All elves are born in to this world with two pairs of arms and legs. The lower pair of arms, however, is completely useless, unable to moove, grasp or perform any other activity. It has even become popular for the richer parts of elven society to remove their extra limbs as a show of wealth.

All elves seem to mutate and change rapidly during their first two years alive. They take on traits of both their living enviroment (an elf that lives near water might develop webbed fingers) and the people they are surrounded by (Uspadian nobility is easily recognisable by the tiny insect wings that grow where their ears meet the head).

This means that an elfs birthplace can often be identified by simply observing their appearance.

Once past the age of three, there will be no mutations for the remainder of the elves life.

Once past the age of 3, there will be no further mutaions.
