Snow Elf

Snow Elves descend from Elven communities traditionally adapted to frozen mountains, alpine forests and severe climates. Their culture values endurance, preparation and cooperation.

Snow Elves generally have pale complexions with white, silver, platinum-blonde or pale-golden hair. Blue, grey and pale-green eyes are common. Their clothing makes heavy use of fur, leather, thick fabric and layered armour.

Snow Elves are typically calm, patient and practical. They dislike unnecessary boasting and place significant value on responsibility toward the wider community.

Hunting, fishing, livestock keeping and food preservation are important parts of Snow Elf life. Navigation, shelter building and survival skills are commonly taught from childhood.

Endurance is highly respected. Difficult journeys, storms and successful hunts may carry greater prestige than wealth. Stories are often used to preserve knowledge and the memory of previous generations.

Snow Elves favour cold mountain valleys, protected forests and defensible highland regions. Their settlements tend to prioritise warmth, storage and protection from severe weather.

Breeder, Farmer, Armorsmith, Weaponsmith and Beast Master. Hunters, guides and mountain scouts are also highly respected.

Snow Elves often respect Mountain Fawns, Dwarves and Highlander Humans. Frost Giants may be neighbours, trading partners or territorial rivals depending on the community.
