Half-Elves

Half-elves, as usually defined, were humanoids born through the union of a Elves and Human. Whether a half-elf was raised by their Human parent or their Elves parent, they often felt isolated and alone. Because they took around twenty years to reach adulthood, they matured quickly when raised by Elves(who think they look like humans), making them feel like an outsider in either place.

Abilities

Half-elves gained an unusual blend of abilities from their two heritages. More durable and more innately charming than either Human or Elves, half-elves lacked the grace or wisdom of their Elven parents, though they did have some of the versatility of their Human ancestors. Half-elves had a natural ability to learn outside of their specialty, giving them a strength in adaptability. Half-elves, like their Elves parents, worked well with others and could lend some of their own skill to friends or allies.

Magic and Religion

Half-elves often partook in the magical traditions of both Human and Elves, for which they were equally suited. Half-elves had no true magical traditions of their own, however, although many from Eliaish took on specialization in the schools of evocation and transmutation.
