Valswyn
Valswyn closely resemble elves
notes from mythologies about elves
The Valswyn remained hidden for many centuries after the GK, hiding mostly in dense jungles and deep caves. Few hid in remote deserts, near impossible for any one else. The world believed the Valswyn to have perished during the GK, though often someone who ventured too deep into a jungle, or the wrong cave, or attempted to cross the most inhospitable parts of the deserts, would never be seen again.
But after Prince Eluthiel exposed the continued existence of the Valswyn, word traveled quickly. Wars almost broke out between the Valswyn and other races. Though there is officially peace with the Valswyn, tensions are still high, especially towards and among the older Valswyn: those who lived during their hiding. Many Valswyn left the jungles for the deserts, but in more hospitable locations, and there they thrived. The Valswyn find more comfort in being in deserts than other environments, even if they were raised elsewhere.
Valswyn are similar to humans, with similar heights and weight. The biggest external difference between humans and valswyn are the pointed ears. Other differences included are their copper-based blood, which is green. For this reason, when a valswyn uses fire magic, the flame produced is more bluish-green than red or orange. Valswyn is the ancient name for the elves, which has been adopted more recently. Elves are similar to humans, except that they have pointed ears, and green, copper-based blood. Valswyn prefer warm weather, and had a very difficult time surviving during the Dark Age when the planet was mostly frozen over. Once the surface warmed, they were able to thrive again in the desert areas. Some of them grew more accustomed to the cooler temperatures and prefer forests or to remain in the Uun. The Uun Valswyn are also called the dark-elves.
Valswynn are generally philosophers, usually wealthy, or dress to appear wealthy.

very intuned with emotions, some embrace the raw power of emotion, some deny it as dangerous, others just do their best to control them.
During the Emergence at the end of the Ice Age, there was war between the Valswyn and Ndourin for control of the surface, but as temperatures warmed, the Ndourin gave up and retreated to the poles and high mountains. And the Valswyn took control of much of the world, forcing the humons, gar, and hobbots to labor for the prosperity of the Valswyn.
