Languages Common, Elven

Half-elves are the children of human and elven parents.

They are generally looked down upon by both human and elven cultures. In the elven nations, their social status ranges from second-class citizens in the more tolerant states, to frequently being killed in infancy—a practice especially common among the dark elves. In the human lands of the Turamzzyrian Empire, discrimination against them is codified in Chaston's Edict.

Faced with lack of opportunity in the centers of civilization, many half-elves have found their way to frontier towns such as Wehnimer's Landing.
