Disdrirn Elves
The Disdrirn Elves are thought to have occupied the forests of middle Pytharnia since the end of the Great Age of Ice. They are defensive and even secretive with regard to western humans in general due to the historical mistreatment of their kind at the hands of the Yophentheans and the steady encroachment of humans into the woodlands of Pytharnia. They have made treaties with the Empire of Magdala that recognizes their homelands and the present boundary between the elven woods and the empire, forbidding new human settlement in their lands. The elves lives about four and a half centuries unless disease or death in battle takes them sooner. Elves are rarely seen among the towns and farms of humans when they are seen at all. They are wise enough to know that individual humans can prove differently from their whole kind. Humans require special permission and usually an elven escort to pass through the elven woods.
They gather into family groups roughly corresponding with 'houses.' They have much respect as a race for their elders and their ancient history. Elves live in stone houses, houses set into trees, and rarely make free-standing houses out of wood which they reserve solely for holy edifices.
Elves of the Disdrire speak the Pasaoivi Language and also the Disdrirn Sylvan Language common to many humanlikes of the woods. Some of their kind speak human and dwarven languages.
