Oh, for heaven's sake. What a classic case of misdirection, Rapaire. Sure, I'm aware of those little beings you are referring to, and they have been colloquially called "Elves" by people who don't know any better. It's a misnomer. It's like when people called the inhabitants of North America "Indians", because Columbus thought he'd reached Asia. North American Indians aren't really Indians but people have gotten used to calling them Indians. It's the same with those so-called "Elves" you are referring to.

Real Elves are taller on the average than humans, they have somewhat pointed ears, and they are very good looking and regal in appearance. Their morality is of such a high level that someone from Pocatello would be as a shambling subhuman in comparison to them, and would probably feel very uncomfortable in their presence, sensing for the first time what a primitive and wretched lifeform he really was.

Yes, I know all about pixies, gnomes, kobalds, gremlins, brownies, fairies and tommyknockers. They're interesting little creatures, and people do refer to them mistakely as "Elves", but they are not Elves at all.

The Elves are divided into subgroups known as Dark Elves or Dunmers (dark-skinned), Wood Elves or Bosmers(mid-tone skin color), and High Elves or Altmers (pale skin).

The High Elves are said to be the elder race of the three and they have the most complex culture in some respects. The Wood Elves are superb archers, even moreso than other Elves.

They are no longer found at all on this world. They once did inhabit it, but they now live on another world in a parallel dimension, having left this one to be ruined by men. Therefore they are no threat whatsoever to humans...nor to anyone who doesn't threaten them first, I might add. There have been longstanding disagreements between Elves and Orcs, but that is not your concern.
