Fallen Empire: Races - Elves

Elves

This is a variant version of elves that will be used in the Fallen Empire campaign setting. Elves in the campaign setting were hunted almost to extinction during the Age of Tyranny, and the remnants are all members of a handful of isolated families. Each family has developed distinctively in the time since the Age of Tyranny, which is reflected in the various starting elven bonus feats available to elven characters.

Because the Fallen Empire does not use favored classes, this version of the elf race has no defined favored class, but if it did, the favored class would be druid or wizard.
