Elves

Elves are a race of fae that live mostly on the issolated islands of Kynigos, sometimes referred to as the Elvish Isles. They live to be an average of 4000 years, with some living over 5000 years. They age similarly to humans for the first 10 years of their life (so they aren't infants for 50 years), but after that point their aging slows dramatically. For example, Death appeared to be around 17 at the age of 300. Half elves also have this trait, but to a lesser degree; Adrian appeared to be around 25 at the age of 256.

Elves are above all else academics, and the most esteemed career is one of studies. Because of their devotion, intelligence and longevity, they are amazing craftsmen and pretty advanced (afterall, they have 4000 years to accomplish things -- what would have happened if Tesla had lived another century?). Almost every elf is a specialist because they have the time to hone their trade, so they have some of the world's best healers, dressmakers, bakers, chefs, woodworkers, and more. A particular achievement of the elves is their bows, which are fantastically strong and accurate, light, and carved distinctively.
