Lowland Elf
Also known as "Low Elves" or sometimes jokingly referred to as "Three Quarter-Elves" Once these elves were indistinguishable from the Wood Elves from the Emerald Wilds. However, as these elves migrated south west into the open lowland plains of western Zaccan and adapted to the new landscape and as they interacted and interbred with the human population of they became their own people.
A down-to-earth Elf
Lowland elves have interacted and even intermixed with the local humans and have taken on many of their traits, both culturaly and physically. Losing some of the magical prowess of their Wood Elf and High Elf counterpart, preferring the physical world.
Due to their interaction with humans, Lowland elves have softer, rounder features than other varieties of elf, and are able to have any hair colour a human can, as well as find it easier to grow facial hair than other races of elf. Their ears are shorter and more rounded than you would normally see on an elf also, looking like a slightly more pointed version of a half-elf's ears.
These elves also prefer to live in more urban environment, preferring the comforts of communities more than the tranquility of nature.
Lowland Elf Traits
Lowland elves have similar traits to other elves, but tent to lack the refinement of the other varieties due to their social environment.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and one more ability score other than Dexterity increases by 1.
Age. Lowland elves reach physical maturity about the same rate as a human and are cultrually treated as an adult at about 25 years old. Lowland elves live much longer than humans and even half-elves, but not nearly as long as other races of elves, living to around 250-300 years old.
Alignment. Like other elves, Lowland elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression. However, living in more community based societies, they have learned to accept that certain restrictions are needed for their society to prosper. This has made the typical lowland elf become less chaotic and lean torwards a more neutral alignment. Some sway back to a more chaotic lifestyle, while some really embrace the laws of their society.

Darkvision. Being less magically enclined than other races of elf, the Lowland Elves' dark vision has faded over time. You can see in dim light within 30 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.
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. However, although they do not need to sleep, some Lowland elves opt to sleep like humans to keep on the same social time table.
