 **********************************************************************************

High Elves, also sometimes known as Eladrin, are graceful warriors and Powerful Mages who originate from the realm of Faerie, also known as the Feywild. They live in the forests of the world. They are magical in nature and share an interest in the arcane arts. From an early age Roanmara also learned to defend herself and others, particularly with her mithril sword. Occasionally the term "Noble Eladrin" is used to denote more powerful variants, who have become so infused with the magic of the Feywild that they take on the characteristics of natural phenomena such as seasons, the elements and more. The term "Eladrin" refers exclusively to Celestial Eladrin, the chaotic good celestials residing in Arvandor.

 High Elves are graceful, intelligent beings, with a greater capacity for intelligence than most humanoid races while also possessing an agility comparable with their elven kin. Roanmara is also unusually strong-willed and has a natural resistance to the effects of enchantment spells. High elves also have no need for sleep in the same way most humanoids do, instead going into a trance. While in a trance, Roanmara remains fully aware of her immediate surroundings. Furthermore, she needs only rest for four hours to get the same effect that most other humanoids got from six hours of sleep. During this time she meditates on recent events. Perhaps most notable, however it is an ability, known as 'fey step', which allows a High Elf to slip out of the Prime world and into the Feywild, or vice versa, with relative ease.

 Due to her longevity and strong ties to the otherworldly magic of the Feywild, Roanmara has a detached view of the world outside of her sphere. High elves as a whole have difficulty believing that the events occurring over mere "years" affect them in any major way, with the exception of major tragedies such as the Time of Troubles or the Spellplague. Roanmara instead looks at things from a much longer perspective, unconcerned with anything that had consequences that stretched over anything less than decades. However, while some High Elves are content to seclude themselves, others, such as Roanmara, stalk the lands as champions battling the evil just outside of a high elven city's magical wards.

 This detached view of the world could make high elves seem distant and intimidating, not to mention haughty and arrogant. Furthermore, the powerful fey nature of High Elves might frighten less magically talented races. Yet Roanmara takes friendships quickly to heart and can react with rage when her compatriots are threatened. Combined with her general intelligence, bravery, and arcane power, this loyalty to friends makes her a formidable ally and a dangerous enemy.

 Thought perhaps haughty in her view of it, Roanmara feels a need to explore the world around her and is curious, particularly in her youth. However, Many of the tragedies of the Time of Troubles and Spellplague checked their adventurism to an extent and many High Elves retreated into their strongholds where magical wards hold off the evils around them. Overall, Moon Elves have a stronger impulse for exploration and discovery than Sun Elves or Star Elves, both of whom are more cautious in their dealings with the outside world.

 High Elven Society have long straddled the boundary between the Prime Material Plane and Faerie. High Elven cities were magnificent marvels of elegant architecture made of wondrous towers and structures that blend seamlessly into places of natural beauty. Many High Elven cities are found in locations where the border between the Prime and the Feywild are particularly thin?isolated mountain vales, green islands, storm-wracked coasts, and the deepest reaches of ancient forests. Some High Elven realms existed entirely in the Feywild, or at least partially so, most famously in the case of Evermeet. Many of these cities crossed over occasionally into the Prime before winking out of existence entirely.

 Roanmara lives in grace with the touch of magic found throughout her life, as exemplified by Corellon, the patron God of all fey but particularly his chief creation the High Elves. Roanmara ?s practices of all sorts are influenced by this from dance and song to swordplay and wizardry. The cities of the High Eves are stunning locations of beauty, formed and shaped by the blending of magic with graceful and elegant designs.

 Roanmara's clothing is often simple and functional, but does not lack beauty and grace any more than other clothing, with complex and beautiful patterns woven into the cloth. The clothing, while otherwise non-fanciful, is often made of superior materials to those used in other clothes. Roanmara prefers clothing of natural colours such as green, but oft times wears garments of garish hues, particularly during holy days or festivals.

 Roanmara trained in the use of a Mithril longsword, a weapon important to her culture, religion, and heritage. When she goes into battle, she has a golden suit of armour which on bright days the sun reflects off of into her opponent?s eyes with her magical guidance.

 Although most High Elves reside in isolated communities of their kin, a few have interests or dealings in the outside world, and it is not uncommon to find High Elves living among dragonborn, dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, humans, and Tieflings. Overall, Moon Elves are more open in their dealings and eager to make friends outside of the High Elven race while Sun Elves are cautious.  Roanmara has the traits of both her parents and her home now is in Toril.
