[Lore][Race] Grey Elves

[fordwell]

Grey Elves are some of the most respected of peoples. Majestic yet stoic, they are known for their spiritual strength, mysterious rituals, and terrifying understanding of the soul. Some less enlightened folk call them Death Elves due to their habit of making home and living in and around places of loss and death.
    A child born into Grey Elven society is trained at youth the rites of the people, the blessing of food, the laying of the incense and much more. Even if they are not destined to serve as priest in some temple they are taught to bring the spirit into all things in their lives. Many tend to linger however to the academic worlds of dusty books and forgotten ruins. Grey Elven society does not worship any single god but rather tend to worship the aspects of the universe as a single greatness that they are uniquely attuned to. As such their society is much set up like the Dark Elves. The closer one is to the realm of the spirit the more they are listened to and respected as leaders.       
      Grey Elves by themselves tend to find homes in catacombs and sewers, building networks of chambers to serve their uses. The only accounting of a Grey elven city was massive and built along a cliff. Their architecture is similar to high elven works but much more conservative, usually putting form and purpose above decoration, but never ignoring it.
Grey Elves are commonly known to be the most Xenophobic of the Elven races, tending to stick to a singular place for years without travel. The only time any one has ever seen one of these elves become aggressive is when faced with being uprooted from their homes.
