Elf

Elf is a race in the world.

Appearance
From the time elves are born until they’re about fifteen or sixteen, they develop at the same rate as humans, but after that their development slows, and for about half of their lives they continue to appear as though they’re between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five. After that, they go through a period of rapid aging again, and then they fade slowly into their twilight years.

Background
Most elves, though they have long life spans, don’t usually die of old age, but of accidents, or illness, or fights with monsters. Plus, even among those who do succumb to old age, it seems that there’s a huge range in the ages at which that happens.

Culture
The live rather self-sufficiently, so they don’t have very much of what humans use as currency. This is especially true for elders, who rarely make it out of the village. They are also rather solitary creatures by nature. Once their children reach forty or fifty years of age, they lose their fondness for their parents and soon leave home to live on their own, drifting further and further away from their families
