In cases where they are raised in human cities, they are treated as adults from age fifteen despite looking very young. When they are treated as adults varies based on culture, but they are generally regarded as adults from around fifty to sixty years of age. The fact that they are vegetarians and do not eat meat is a mere rumor they treat both meat and vegetables as blessings of nature and eat both equally. Thus, there are also Elves with a deep belief in Vida, and those Elves are friendly towards Vida’s races, especially the Dark Elves, whom they welcome as brothers and sisters who have received the goddess’s blessings. Some Elves are disgusted by Dark Elves, treating them as corrupted Elves, but there is a myth telling of how after Shizarion was destroyed and Peria entered a slumber, Vida protected the ancestors of the Elves. Also, the Elves have historically learned that if they maintain their social statuses for too long, dissatisfaction grows in those of races with shorter lifespans. Because their lifespans are long, even if they are noblemen, the nations that they live in will either be destroyed before their own lives end, divide into multiple nations or be merged with other nations, so there is no stability. Even those with occupations often retire after working for a few decades. When living in human nations, they are almost never in positions where they need to succeed in noble families and such. In the past, there were large-scale villages of tens of thousands of Elves, though they were very different from human nations. Upon reaching their teenage years, they grow into adults at a rate of one physical year of age every several human years.Įlf villages are mostly located in forests or on lakes, and there are even nomadic tribes that build fleets of ships and sail as they live their lives.
Their long lifespans are as long as five hundred years, with their growth slowing down upon reaching puberty. So they are sometimes called the friends of the spirits. Also, though this doesn't apply for all Elves, many acquire the Spiritual Magic skill. They possess the Dark Vision skill from birth. There are many Elves who possess an affinity for the Wind and Water elements from birth, and few possess an affinity for the attributes that are poorly compatible with these attributes, the Earth and Fire attributes. As their ancestral roots lie in Shizarion and Peria, they have great Agility and Intelligence, but they are often physically weaker than humans.
