Sea Elves

The Sea Elves are a nomadic seafaring race of elves native to Eldham.

History
The ancestors of the Sea Elves arrived in Eldham doing the Elven Migrations, but instead of living on land like most of their elven cousins, they chose to live nomadic lives on their ships. They formed moving cities made of ships sailing together.

Eventually, their seafaring lifestyle resulted in various mutations, their elven ears growing to resemble fins, their teeth becoming sharper, and they developed webbed hands and feet, and oily skin.

After a couple thousand of years, the floating cities of the Sea Elves eventually came together to build the "Whale Ship", a ship large enough to house the entirety of their race, the "Whale Ship" brought a golden age to the Sea Elves that lasted generations. But nothing lasts forever, the "Whale Ship" would eventually sink due to infighting over who would receive the title of "Grand Captain".

After these events the Sea Elves scattered once again.

Culture
The Sea Elves value cunning, intellect and guile. You often find them as merchants, pirates and fishermen. Still, their love of woodworking derived from their love of their ships meant that you could also find them working as builders and architects.

Their diet mainly consists of fish, and vegetables are considered are delicacy.

The Sea Elves are prone to partially adopting the cultural practices of others.
