===Elven Lineages===
{{5e24 Subspecies List|Elf|Lineage}}

==Description==
<ref name="phb5e24" /> Created by the god Corellon, the first elves could change their forms at will. They lost this ability when Corellon cursed them for plotting with the deity Lolth, who tried and failed to usurp Corellon’s dominion. When Lolth was cast into the Abyss, most elves renounced her and earned Corellon’s forgiveness, but that which Corellon had taken from them was lost forever.

No longer able to shape-shift at will, the elves retreated to the Feywild, where their sorrow was deepened by that plane’s influence. Over time, curiosity led many of them to explore other planes of existence, including worlds in the Material Plane.

Elves have pointed ears and lack facial and body hair. They live for around 750 years, and they don’t sleep but instead enter a trance when they need to rest. In that state, they remain aware of their surroundings while immersing themselves in memories and meditations.

An environment subtly transforms elves after they inhabit it for a millennium or more, and it grants them certain kinds of magic. Drow, high elves, and wood elves are examples of elves who have been transformed thus.

<ref name="phb5e24" /><ref name="2024fr" /> '''Unofficial Description:''' Elves were originally {{5e24lc|Fey}} created by {{5e24|Corellon}}, but left the {{5e24|Feywild}} for the {{5e24|Material Plane}}. Over the millennia they became {{5e24lc|Humanoid}}. They are long lived {{5e24lc|Medium}} sized humanoids, typically slender without facial hair. They are famed among humanoids for their long lives, often over 7 centuries. Most have a strong connection to nature or magic.

===Drow===
{{main|5e24:Drow}}
<ref name="phb5e24" /><ref name="2024fr" /> '''Unofficial Description:''' {{5e24|Drow}} are elves that migrated from the Feywild to the {{5e24|Underdark}} following the demon-goddess {{5e24|Lolth}}. In some settings, such as {{5e24|Eberron}}, they inhabit other domains such as rainforests of Xen'drik.

===High Elves===
{{main|5e24:High Elf}}
<ref name="phb5e24" /><ref name="2024fr" /> '''Unofficial Description:''' {{5e24|High Elf|High elves}} have a strong tie to magic, and a strong wizardly tradition. In some settings they are called sun elves, moon elves, Silvanesti, Qualinesti, and Aereni.

===Wood Elves===
{{main|5e24:Wood Elf}}
<ref name="phb5e24" /><ref name="2024fr" /> '''Unofficial Description:''' {{5e24|Wood Elf|Wood elves}} have a strong tie to nature and especially forests. In other settings they are called wild elves, green elves, forest elves, Grugach, Kagonesti, and Tairnadal.
