Snow Elf
The Snow Elves are not native to the Continent of Zaccan, but originate much further north. They hail from lands near the northern poles of Erilar and the pole's surrounding areas. As a result from living in such hostile comates, the snow elves' bodies have adapted for the tougher climate. Their skin colours are usually a wintery shade ranging from grays to pale blues to pure white and their hair is usually of a similar colour, most often a glistening white. Their ears are longer and sharper than most other elves in Erilar to help filter out the bitter winds.
A Hardy Elf
Snow elves, or more locally known as Highland Elves or Tundra Elves, live in small tight-knit communities in the far northern teritories, but the further away from the poles and the lest hostile the climate, the larger their settlements become. Some of their southern cities are just as impressive as any other city that you would find else where in the world.
Snow Elf Traits
Your Snow Elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1.
Age. Snow Elf reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans and other Elves. Snow Elf age at the same rate as normal elves and can live to be 750 years old.
Alignment Snow evles need to band together to thrive in such hostile climates, so their alignment usually land towards lawful and neutral alignments. Those who are a bit more chaotic or aim to actively harm their settlements are often exiled, so evil or chaotic snow elves are also the most likely to venture from their homeland.
Size Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Speed Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision Accustomed to polar winters where it can be dark for months, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Keen Senses You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Fey Ancestry You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Tundra Survival You have advantage on Constitution saving throws, Nature checks and Survival checks relating to the environment while in cold and snow-covered environments.
Trance Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
