The City of Summer Stars is a lost and ruined elven community of fable and legend in the depths of the Adri Forest, now under a dreadful curse. Verbobonc was originally an elven settlement, though they have mostly left that region to the humans and gnomes. In the Flanaess, large numbers of elves can be found in Celene, Highvale, the Lendore Isles, Sunndi, the Duchy of Ulek, the Valley of the Mage, the Vesve Forest, and the Vault of the Drow. Valley elves are rarely seen outside the Valley of the Mage. Snow elves, drow, and grugach are found almost exclusively in cold mountains, the Underdark, and deep forests, respectively. Aquatic elves are only found in temperate aquatic regions, and gray elves often prefer temperate mountains. The offspring of humans and elves are known as 'half-elves' among humans, and as 'half-humans' among elves.Įlves are most often associated with temperate forests, though this applies chiefly to high elves and wood elves.

There are several different subraces of elves, including aquatic elves, dark elves ( drow), grey elves, high elves, snow elves, valley elves, wild elves ( grugach), wood elves, and winged elves ( avariel). Possessed of innate beauty and easy gracefulness, they are viewed as both wondrous and haughty by other races however, their natural detachment is seen by some as introversion or xenophobia. Becoming physically mature by the age of 25 and emotionally mature at around 125 ( Races of the Wild, 2005), they are also famously long-lived, capable of living more than half a millennium and remaining physically youthful. Elves are renowned for their grace and mastery of magic and weapons such as the sword and the bow.
