The mixing of [[Elf]] and [[Human]] is a common tale. Many stories of romance between these two races can be heard around Norrath. As a result, Half Elves are taller than their Elven ancestors and carry some of the strength of their human bloodlines. They have slightly harsher features than Elves, but the mix still makes them pleasant to lay eyes on.

realize that they are no more of an outsider to the Humans and the Elves than they are to the Dwarves and Gnomes. They latch onto this feeling of belonging equally to all cultures.

These Half Elves are aggressively recruited by the Society of Antonican Bards, for they tend to be travelers and peacemakers by nature.

But the life of a Half Elf isn’t made up entirely of dealing with the negatives of their uneven blood. Half Elves are blessed with the good characteristics of both of their parents. They tend to be bulkier and stronger than Wood Elves, while retaining much of their quickness and affinity for nature. They also tend to have Elven accents to their features – slightly pointy ears and more narrow features. Half- Elves are often the most strikingly beautiful folk in all of Norrath. Perhaps this is another reason why they are so actively recruited by the Antonican Bards ... Despite their beauty, or perhaps because of it, Half Elves are not welcome in the traditional strongholds of evil, such as Neriak, Grobb or Oggok. To the denizens of these dark places they are just another version of Elf, food for the pot or victims for the rack. A Half Elf shouldn’t expect any special treatment from a Dark Elf just because the people of Kelethin think he looks funny. And the Iksar, well, they don’t like anyone anyway.

Description

The mixing of Elf and Human is a common tale. Many stories of romance between these two races can be heard around Norrath. As a result, Half Elves are taller than their Elven ancestors and carry some of the strength of their human bloodlines. They have slightly harsher features than Elves, but the mix still makes them pleasant to lay eyes on.

Unfortunately, the children of these forbidden romances are often shunned, becoming victims of prejudice by Humans and Elves alike. Most Half Elves are unaffected by the discrimination and retain a pleasant manner. Usually Half Elves will develop a very close and trusted group of friends that act as a surrogate family.

The difficult lives of the Half Elves and their lack of ties to any one place makes them adept travelers of the world and exceptional friends and storytellers. Sadly, some Half Elves become embittered by the constant difficulty of finding a place in the world and choose a path of thievery. The Half Elves are on amicable terms with most races in Norrath, but have no affection for the evil races.

While Half Elves can be seen in many areas of the world, they are primarily found in the Wood Elf city of Kelethin and within the Surefall Glade.
