Half Elves
Half Elves are typically the product of a Human and an Elf (but not always). Half Elves typically favor one parentage over the other, but generally benefit from the enhanced senses of Elvenkind, while enjoy greater physical strength and durability from their human (or other) parentage. Their life spans are typically doubled or tripled compared to those of normal humans, but are still brief by the estimation of most elves.
Half Elves in some cultures suffer some discrimination, but are treasured in other cultures. Further, some Half Elves are raised by one parent or the other, and some others have experience in both environments. Due to their high degree of variation from one another, each Half Elf should be personalized as befits their background.
