Arctic elves

Arctic elves are a subrace of elves found mainly in the northern regions of Equis. They are nomads who normally tread the line between tundra and taiga.

Description
Arctic elves are no different from their forbears in their stature, but their skin and hair are exclusively shades of light blue or white, and their eyes are only ever blue. Uniquely among the subraces of elves, arctic elves are capable of growing facial hair, but it is typically patchy and sparse.

Personality
Most arctic elves are solemn and, true to their nature, cold to outsiders, but warm towards those they know well.

Society
Arctic elves are nomadic, dwelling in the northern region of Equis where taiga and forest falls away into tundra. They subsist mainly on hunting and fishing. Due to their cold and largely empty environment, they do not frequently encounter foreign races and as a result are insular and suspicious of strangers.

History
Not much is currently known of the history of the arctic elves, except that at some point they diverged from elves and migrated north.
