Grand Elf
Grand Elves are an ancient race. Masters of gunpowder, there is nothing more awe-inspiring than the sight of ranks of Grand Elves lined up with their muskets in the driving rain, felling row after row of charging goblin hordes. Tall, pale, and serious, Grand Elves are strong believers in the good of the community being more important than that of the individual.
Grand Elves are slightly taller and slimmer than humans, with grave, stoic bearing. Their ears are pointed, and their faces tend towards the angular. They are immortal, and do not age past middle-age, although can still be slain by accident, illness, or violence.
Music is important to Grand Elves. Most are able to play one or more musical instruments, and singing comes naturally to them. Their music is beautiful and ethereal.
Grand Elf adventurers tend to be musketeers, alchemists, and sailors.
