Elves, Light (3.5e Race)

Light Elves (Luminow)

Light Elves, better known as the "Luminow" are the polar opposite of the Drow. Usually they possess pearl-white skin, Golden-yellowish hair, and bright blue eyes. Hailing from a parallel universe, Light Elves are fierce inter-planar rivals of the Drow and see them as tragic elven cousins. Light Elves prefer daylight instead of darkness the Drow do. Generally they live in cities high up on the tops of mountains made out of crystal and magical gems. However, this tendency has given rise to a general animosity between them and the Dwarves that would tend to live beneath the Luminow. There hasn't been any record of a war between the two races, but that doesn't stop both races from disliking each other.
