Astral Elves (3.5e Race)

Astral Elves

This race came to be when a large group of elves, after having waged an arcane war across a few of the continents, was finally beaten and fended off. The survivors had fled through a new and experimental teleport spell and discovered the astral plane but could not find the correct spell to get back. After a few hundred years their immortal elven bodies attuned to the flow of magic and time in the plane and began being altered by it little by little over time. This continued on through a few millennia until a wizard in the material plane had managed to summon a demon and ask it of the other worlds and sold his soul to find out how to travel to them. He then taught the techniques abroad and soon after the other planes outside the elemental planes were discovered and the astral elves return to the material plane had started.

Personality

The normal day for an astral elf begins at coming out of their meditation to clear their thoughts. They then generally begin their magic practices and or training depending on what their job for society was. And from their they would study or teach others of their race in whatever they could of the arcane arts. Believing that magic had been directly what saved them and brought them here. And what allowed them to grow back to a proud and powerful race.
