Elf Characters
Elves are one of the oldest races of Dungeons and Dragons. They are associated with magic, archery and long lives.
They are one of the most popular races, attractive for having a different mindset due to living for centuries and having innate grace and style. 5E Elves can choose from several subraces including high elves, wood elves, sea elves, eladrin and shadar-kai.
