Is it possible > that there is a technomantic society of elves down there? Canon-wise, the only remnant of the technology-oriented elves are those elves in the Hollow World, since Grunland was destroyed. However, some elves survived in Davania (e.g., those who became the N'djatwa), and some of these might have rebuilt a technomantic society, probably with under the influence of Thimhallan or early Snarta.

It differs somewhat from the writeups found on the 3e website, but they are written for my campaign so... anyways, feel free to comment on them :) ELVES OF THE KNOWN WORLD Elves are slender and graceful. They stand between 5 and 5 1/2 feet tall and weigh around 120 pounds. They have delicate features and pointed ears. They have slightly pointed teeth and their eyes reflect light like the eyes of a cat. Facial hair is rare at a young age, but very old elves grow long beards. Mystaran elves were created by the Forest Immortal Ordana and placed in the legendary realm of Grunland. Their travels to the Known World and later experiences have split them into various subraces. Elf, Ilsundal Ilsundal Elves are the descendants of the elves who followed Ilsundal from Evergrun to the Sylvan Realm and later made their way to the Known World. Ilsundal elves are found in many parts of the Known World. Their major settlements before AC1000 are in Alfheim, the Principality of Erewan in Glantri (Ellerovyn) aswell as the Radlebb Woods in Karameikos (Callarii). Ilsundal elves usually have fair or tan skin, blonde or golden hair and blue or green eyes. After the events in the years AC 1000-1010 Ilsundal Elves can be found in Wendar (Alfheim Clans) and Karameikos (Alfheim and Callarii Clans). Many Ilsundal Elves are also found living alongside humans in other parts of the Known World. Ilsundal Elf Racial Traits: +2 dexterity, -2 constitution. Medium size. Base speed: 30 Immunity to magical sleep. +2 bonus to saving throws vs. Enchantment spells. Low-light vision: Elves see twice as far as humans in moonlight, starlight and torchlight conditions.

Bonus Languages: Draconic, Dwarven, Orc and Sylvan. Favored Class: Wizard. Elf, Belcadiz elf The Belcadiz Elves of Glantri have a distinctly different culture from most other surface elves. By many, they are considered arrogant and foppish. Their honor is not to be joked with, as they are a proud people, and many are master duelists, sporting the rapier as their weapon of choice. The Belcadiz elves have bronze skin and dark brown or black wavy hair and brown eyes. Belcadizan elves live in the Principality of Belcadiz in Glantri. Belcadiz Elf Racial Traits: +2 intelligence, -2 constitution, +2 charisma. Medium size. Base speed: 30 Immunity to magical sleep. +2 bonus to saving throws vs. Enchantment spells.

Bonus Languages: Elven and Thyatian. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Dwarven, Orc and Sylvan. Favored Class: Wizard. Elf, Wood elf Wood Elves are those Mystaran elves who have retained the original elven culture, once possessed by the elves of the legendary realm of Grunland. They have made their way to the Known World in different waves of migration, but have a common culture. Like Ilsundal Elves, Wood elves are slender and graceful. They stand between 5 and 5 1/2 feet tall and weigh around 120 pounds. They have delicate features and pointed ears. They have slightly pointed teeth and their eyes reflect light like the eyes of a cat. Facial hair is rare at a young age, but very old elves grow long beards. Wood elves are found in many parts of the Known World. Their major settlements are Wendar(Geffronel Clan), Minrothad (Verdier Clan), the Isle of Dawn (Trueflower Clan) and Thyatis (Vyalia Clans). Most Wood Elves have brown hair and blue or brown eyes, though the Vyalia Clans, have pale skin, and white or silvery hair, not unlike Water or Shadow elves.

Low-light vision: Elves see twice as far as humans in moonlight, starlight and torchlight conditions.

If a Woof elf merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door, he is entitled to a Search check as if he were actively searching for it. Bonus Languages: Elven and Thyatian. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Dwarven, Orc and Sylvan. Favored Class: Ranger Elf, Shadowelf Shadowelves are a race of elves that have been forced to live underground for generations. Through that time they have adapted to their underground environments. They are distinquished from Wood Elves by their pale white skin and white hair. They are not used to be exposed to direct sunlight and have a dislike for it. Like Wood elves, Shadow Elves have delicate features and pointed ears.

Water elves are towed headed or have light blonde hair that bleaches almost white in the sun. Their eyes are blue-gray and their complexions are pale in spite of their constant exposure to the sun. Their appearance is thus not so different from Shadowelves something many find unsettling. A Waterelf’s first love is the sea. They have an innate wanderlust and have an avid interest in traveling the seas. Even though they hale from Minrothad, their love for traveling means that they can be found in most coastal areas of the Known World. Racial Traits: +2 dexterity, -2 constitution. Medium size.
