Snow Elves

Art by Jacob K. Gratchyk

Snow Elves come from the Land of Ice, a continent in the southern regions of Primordus. They live in nomadic tribes that move about the land constantly as their needs require. They have no central city they call home but they do frequently visit the Mountain Dwarves to trade materials and food with them.

Snow Elves are roughly the same size as your average elf race but they all have light blue skin. Their hair varies from dark green, dark blue, or white depending on which tribe they come from. While it isn't that they can't use bows, due to their environment they tend to be trained in the use of spears instead of bows unlike most elves.

They have also evolved a unique form of special vision from other demi-human races. They lack dark vision but they have what has become known as weather vision. Their senses and magical nature have led them to be able to see better in snow or rain then your average person. This can give them a valuable advantage when battling foes in unexpected weather conditions.
