World Of Warcraft: NE Bio

"...Night elves began worshipping nature dieties and totem spirits in ancient times, after the first battles against the Burning Legion. The pantheon includes Elune, the moon goddess; Cenarius, the demigod of the Groves; and Malorne, the Waywatcher.

Appearance:
Night elves stand an impressive 7 feet tall and typically weigh between 200 and 250 pounds. They are far more muscular then humans and high elves, though their forms are lithe and graceful rather then heavyset. In addition to their large stature, they also appear somewhat more feral than their high elf cousins. Their skin runs in hues of violet to shadowy purple, and their hair can range from amber to deep blues and greens. Night elves' eyes have no pupils, and most glow silver especially in the moonlight. A night elf's ears are even more pronounced then a high elf's, often taperingto a point up to a foot long. Their cloths reflect their ties to nature, usually being adorned with leaf or animal motifs. Night elves achieve adulthood at 110 years and, while no longer immortal, can live to see a second millennium.

Region:
Much of the night elves' original home of Ashenvile Forest was either destroyed or corruption during the Burning Legion's invasion of Kalimdor. That conflict raged across the face of Kalimdor, and though the deamons were defeated, night elf society was left left in tatters in the aftermath. Druids of the wild now strive to heal and restore the land, whilesentinels keep their eternal watch for enemies both seen and unseen.

Night elves live in and around the village of Nighthaven, located within the sacred Moonglade, on the slopes of Mount Hyjal. Surrounded by colossal trees, ancient ruins, and the holy moon wells, Nighthaven is one of the last remaining refuges of the night elf race.

Though night elves value their allegiance to the Alliance, few humans or dwarves are allowed into the heart of Nighthaven, nor are they ever shown the sacred moon wells. The distrusted high elves are never allowed near Nighthaven. Only satyrs and the feral furbolgs offer any real threat to the night elves' otherwise tranquil abode.

Affiliation:
Alliance. Night elves worked well with the orcs against the Burning Legion, but the night elvs' native caution and the orcs' natural distrust have since soured those relations.

Night elves are not the life of the party among the Alliance races either. Although honorable and just, their natural distrust of other races, their wild-even feral-appearances, and their nocturnal habits and shadowy powers make integration with other cultures difficult. The night elves are hesitant to leave the shadowy beuty of the forests surrounding mount Hyjal does not help. Still, many among them are wise-or curious-enough to believe that maintaining their friendship with the Alliance in Theramore and Bael Modan is imperative. They are fascinated by the younger races and thrill to the prospect of trade and exotic wares. These more adventurous spirits have journeyed into the southlands as explorers, merchants, and embassadors.

This curiosity does not extend to the high elves. The night elves can almost smell their cousins' magic addiction. The Kaldorei remember banishing them long ago for their unrepentant dabbling in arcane magic and still view high elves as rabid dogs that are bound to bite someone sooner or later. If ever the necessity arose, night elves would feel no remorse at slaying their wayward cousins. They respect Jaina Proudmoor's call that the high elves are part of the Alliance, but spare them no love. Night elves work with high elves when necessary, but it takes time and effort for a high elf to overcome a night elf's dislike.

Of all the Alliance races, night elves show the highest incidence of going over to the Horde, mainly because their hatred of the high elves overwhelms any dislike of orcs. Still, such defections remain uncommon."
