Subrace: City Elf
A quick glance at a City Elf would trick you into believing they have no connection to the great Sun or Moon Elves, when in fact they share the same blood. Generations of oppression, hardship and squalor has created a fundamental change in the City Elves to the point that they're almost unrecognizable when compared to their Elven brethren. Despite their hard lives, the City Elves survive using their innate talents to make the most of their situation and preserve their pride.
