Snow Elves are typically a very rare variant of Wood Elves who live in extremely
remote mountain ranges at very high elevations. More durable and rugged than their
cousin races, Snow Elves are actually fairly barbaric by comparison their kin and
are often mistrusted and even shunned by their cousin races. Few Snow Elves practice
magic, but many among them are renowned as fearsome Giant killers. Many High and
Grey Elves consider the Snow Elves to be a fallen sub-race of Elvenkind.

GM Permission is typically required to play a Snow Elf.
