Ashen Elves

ASH ELF

Ash-grey skin, red eyes, coarse voices, and the occasional ritual scarring are the hallmarks of this elusive elven subrace. These elves live in the wake of great volcanoes, revering their ancestors and often worshiping taboo gods and entities. With a honed survival instinct, a natural inclination toward magic and battle, and a proud veneration for tradition, ash elves are known for carving out a prideful existence in the harshest of places, from ashen wastes to humid swamps.
