Half-Elves are a rare and unique race within the Epochian Span. Born from the union of Elves and humans, they embody traits from both races. Half-Elves do not have a specific homeland of their own but can be found residing between Elfholme, the capital city of the Elves, and the human capital of Epoch. Their presence in this region signifies their ability to bridge the gap between the two races.
Half-Elves have a natural affinity for diplomacy and adaptability, allowing them to establish connections and build relationships with various races. They tend to get along with most other races, showcasing a natural talent for understanding different cultures and finding common ground. However, their past interactions with elven nobility have been tumultuous, leading to a complicated history between Half-Elves and the higher echelons of Elven society.
