Elves

Elves were created by the Human God because He thought they’d be smart enough to design Him awesome monuments. Instead, they wasted all their time enjoying nature and developing an appreciation for how the world works. After the Collapse, most Elves settled in the forested central region of the Old World, known originally as the Fen, but later as Fenway National Park. Their appreciation for natural science led them to found the Elvish University, the premier university on Pao.

Species Features
UV Vision An elf can see light in the ultraviolet spectrum. This doubles an Elf ’s range of vision in low-light conditions, and allows perception of some details that are imperceptible to other species. University Education Elves have the highest college graduation rate of any species because the average elf is just plain designed to be smarter than everyone else. An Elf character, therefore, has a +2 species bonus on any two Knowledge skills of the player’s choice, and those skills are treated as Trained. Pointy Ears, Sharp Eyes Elves are naturally more aware of their surroundings than many other races—probably something to do with their ears. As a result, they get a +2 species bonus on Awareness checks. An Elf who merely passes within one square of a secret or concealed door is entitled to an Awareness Check to notice it as though the character was actively looking for it.
