Elf, Siala (5e Race Variant)
Orc Variant[edit]
Background[edit]
On the world of Siala Elves are a sister race of Orcs. Both races speak the same language (Orc). Elves resemble Orcs in terms of physical appearance (hence this race is a variant of Orc rather than Elf).
Physical Description[edit]
Whoever came up with the stories of elvish beauty has never seen an Elf in real life. Elves resemble Humans... except their skin is dark, eyes are yellow, lips are black and hair is ashen-gray. And their lower canines make them look a lot like their cousins Orcs.
History[edit]
It is said that the first races gods have brought to Siala were Ogres, Orcs and Elves. Orcs preceeded Elves and Elves hate them for that. Orcs were gifted with pride and aggression. Elves were gifted with cunning and deceptivness.
In time Elves have separated into Dark and Light subraces. The only difference betwen them is that Light Elves have abandoned traditional Elvish shamanic magic in favour of Human wizardry.
