Sidebar - Additional Lore A Forlorn Outlook

Because elves live for so long, they often prefer to keep a degree of separation from those with shorter lives. Those who don't will often enter long periods of grieving, followed by a general discontent with the current cycle of endless death. They are called the Forlorn.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Aiuvarin

Born to unions of humans and elves, aiuvarins have lifespans longer than humans' but much shorter than elves'. They're most often lanky, with pointed ears that don't have the same thinness or length as those of elves. Many refer to aiuvarin as “half-elves,” a term many find reductive or even slightly insulting. With the difficulty of fitting into either culture, a large number of aiuvarins make their own way. A sociable nature can lead aiuvarins to become entertainers, envoys, and artists.

Sidebar - Locations Alien Origins

Unknown to most—even most elves— the elves' original homeland lies not on Golarion, but on the lush jungle planet of Castrovel, second from the sun. Upon the devastation of Earthfall, many elves fled through the aiudara portals to the legendary refuge of Sovyrian, though few realized it was a continent on another planet.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Ilduliel

An elf who believes they've been insulted can declare ilduliel. This intense feud marks the two as nemeses, setting off a series of moves and countermoves as the parties closely watch one another and put plans in motion to stop their counterparts from achieving their desires. The greater the emotional pain this causes, the more satisfying. From outside elf culture, ilduliel can look petty and protracted, though elves consider 100 years a reasonable length of ilduliel.
