Quenya (5e Subrace)
Elf Subrace[edit]
The quenya elves were so named for blood. Their magics dabbled in something typically frowned upon, which was hemomancy. They usually develop a pale visage due to the nature of their work. Other elves do not regard their practices very highly, leading to many of them feeling like outcasts. The quenya have the ability to harden their blood for protective purposes. Those who go too far down this path without caution have a chance of becoming something actually vampiric.
