High Elves

The High Elves are the most well-known of the Elves. They stand for everything "righteous" and "guard" the Sanctum Stone. These are the second most reccomended option for new players

Gameplay
Unlike their changed kin, the High Elves are born with any magic, but the type is randomized. They are in rediculously few numbers, their entire race numbering a thousand at most. (Which, on a global scale, is extremely tiny). As a High Elf player, every loss is a heavy blow to you, as they are near-irreplacable. However, you and your men are highly effective against most other races

Origins and History
The High Elves were originally created by the Angels, along with the humans, to be their slaves. Unlike the humans, they were the foremen, overseeing the humans for the angels and made sure they never stepped out of line. When the First Angel/Demon war happened, them, along with the humans, were stuck for some time without the interference of Immortals, for the most part.

The Elves were not fully isolated from the Angels. On their home, which is known now as the Moonlit Isles, there is a massive gem known as the "Sanctum Stone". Six Archangels were tasked by guarding it, which allowed the High Elves to have a better understanding of the Angels then the humans. The High Elves are lead by the Queen, who is immortal, like the rest of her elves.

Present Day
The High Elves are enslaved by Naval Human kingdom of Sha-Tirath, so not many elves leave their homeland. The Elves, while being "protected" by the angels, are not safe from the Sha-Tirath slave raids, where they steal High Elves and put them to work in their small slaver empire. They also move to help fight the Orcs who have taken the Imperial Capital of New Avalon.

Government
The Elves are lead by a Queen. The Queen currently has no name, but she has ruled ever since the beginning of the game. (This is roughly 100 years or so). They consider the other races "beneath" them, but it's a simple disliking thing, they havn't taken any violent action against them.

High Elves and the Angels
The High Elves, along with the college, probably have the best understanding of the Angels and Demons, they see them as Immortals who are of higher power then anything ever harnessed by the mortals. They are not like the humans, who worship them blindly as Gods.
