Elvish Lowlanders

The Elvish Lowlanders are known to be an endangered species, having to hide in.. plain sight? You can read all about the Elvish Lowlanders and their race here.

Origins
The Origins of the Elvish Lowlanders started long ago, in regions like North-West Onthukhan and Drakeasland, Phoros. Most seen in commonly Anglunia, as the race is a mix of human and Ice Elves. If not other types of Elves, it isn't sure which race they adopted their looks from.. but it's 100% one of the Elven races, but it's most commonly thought to have been adopted from the Ice Elves.

The Elvish Lowlanders don't tend to have a long lifespan, but if you're one of the few, you will have a really long one. The Elvish Lowlanders are a mix of Ice Elves from Anglunia if not normal elves, and the most common species on Eldham; Humans.

The ones alive say they had been discriminated against, as when they lived in Anglunia, they didn't have the typical blue skin color the Ice Elves had, and if they travelled anywhere else would be seen as pathetic for having to run from their home regions.

Over hundreds of years, The Ice Elves and Humans had children, they had children, and so on.. until you get the now Elvish Lowlanders. They look like typical Humans, but have the pointy ears like any other elf. The 'last' of his kind said to be alive, or thought to be alive, is Dextrixion van Goudklomp-Guryon, but there could be so many more out there..

Later on however, due to the abundance of war in Central-Eldham, the Elvish spread all over the globe, making them even rarer to see around, usually only in nations which have it as it's most prominent Race, as of now only being The Queendom of Latria.

Culture
The Culture of the Elvish Lowlanders vary between where they live, but do share the same cultural ideas as their counterparts far away

The Elvish Lowlanders are typically travelers, roaming the lands to find some place to stay temporarily. They don't get along well with other humans or races, due to their past experiences with being discriminated against.

Over time, as they travel, they will most likely take or buy things from places to resell across the world for easy and quick money, which they use to buy foods, items, weapons, all to defend or keep themselves alive..

There is a very dark thing about their culture, which include death. If an Elvish-Lowlander does not die peacefully, moments before they will feel a cold hand on their shoulder which they call:  Gurth's bor  (Death' s hand), which for them signalizes the end.

Language
The native language of the Lowland Elves, if not having adopted a language in their area, is mostly a dialect of the language that is most commonly present in the Verenigde Vrijmasten Raden:  Laaglands , as the native language of the Lowland Elves is  Läglanders 

The language skips mostly words in Laaglands which were adopted from Traveller's toung, along with changing words from Laaglands entirely. Another unknown dialect of this is  Tovon-dór , which translated to Traveller's toung means  Low Land . Sadly, most of these languages are forgotten, and rarely spoken. Only by the ones remaining is the language spoken nowadays, and there is no alphabet specific to the Lowland-Elves, as they mostly use letters from Traveller's Toung.

Foods
The Foods the Elvish Lowlanders eat again vary everywhere, but they usually eat the simple things such as Baked Potatoes or Bread, but it also depends on what they were fed when they were young.

They also have a taste for different drinks, however not alcohol, as the Elvish are very allergic. They usually just drink coffees or diffrent teas if not various soups if offered. The Elvish like going to taverns, as they wouldnt be surrounded by just the race of a nation, and wouldnt be so easily descriminated against..

Clothing Style
The Elvish tend to wear a lot of clothing, due to their extreme intolerance to cold, which explains why they much more prefer living in areas like deserts, mesa, or sometimes plains biomes.

Usually it's sweaters, leggings, boots, etc.. as they don't want to waste their valuable hard earned money on just clothing. Unless they are a part of a nation and it's government/military, in which case they will adorn a white war suit if in combat. But still don't tend to buy suits unless absolutely necessary.

Neither do they buy gold rings, earrings, necklaces, or any of that stuff. Just stuff that is useful to their survival.

Abilities
The Elvish Lowlanders had always been discriminated against, but were born with a quite special and unique ability.

The Elvish can change their skintone and clothing styles, to match the region they live in to not stand out as much as they do. However it is still visible that they are not part of the region/nation's race, it is less likely people will find out about their existance. However they can only switch between a couple races of their choice, as they cannot just switch infinitely.

Dextrixion for example, could easily become part of the Lycror species, however wouldnt be able to have a lizard's tail, and would keep his elf ears.

The Elvish Lowlanders are also able to live on after death, as shown by Dextrixion's son: Bethcane van Goudklomp-Guryon, Dextrixion's adopted son. Being of the same race as his adopted father, Bethcane would have been able to switch from skin and eye color and clothing styles to fit in with surrounding areas, however Bethcane under mysterious circumstances had died one day, long before Dextrixion adopted him. However as said, he lived on as an undead Elvish Lowlander.

These undead Elvish Lowlanders usually don't have any abilities anymore, as when an Elvish Lowlander dies, their skin turns a pale white, until it eventually falls off OR melts away. Such as what happened with Bethcane. Bethcane is as of now an undead Elvish Lowlander, walking around as a skeleton with armor.

Physical Appearance
The Elvish Lowlanders tend to have the basic features as a Human would have, mixed in with the Elf ears they adopted from the Ice Elves or another type of elf. The hair the Elvish Lowlanders have also grows very fast, as such you could mistake a male Elvish Lowlander for a female, and their hair color may become a temporary white inbetween their 20's and 40's, due to their body deciding a new hair color. However even if their hair can grow long, they cannot grow any type of facial hair, unless it is a stubble.

They are also very tall, the average Elvish Lowlander being between 5'6 and 6'2, and usually the taller ones have a longer lifespan.

Lifespan
The Average Lifespan of an Elvish Lowlander is between 20 and 50 years old, unless of course you are one of the taller ones. Which if you are, like Dextrixion, your lifespan could be between 120 and 180 years old. However, this would only be if you died peacefully, and not of any other way like murder.

The Undead
As said, people of the Elvish Lowlander race continue to live on, however things change about them once they die.

When an Elvish Lowlander dies, their skin becomes pale, and either rots and falls off after death or melts off instantly. After the death sequence has happened, the soul returns to the body. They become a skeleton, and partly lose their memories and are now able to drink things they couldnt before and do things they couldnt do. However, and this is unlikely but, an undead Elvish Lowlander may keep their hair and memories, however this is unlikely, and has rarely been seen before.

The skeleton body they now possess doesn't age anymore either. They are now walking corpses, roaming Eldham for eternity.
