Elves can expect to remain active in the same locale for centuries. Some of this understanding is mystical, but an equal part comes from the elves’ long lifespans, which in turn gives them long-ranging outlooks. Elves seek to live in balance with the wild and understand it better than most other mortals. While fey are truly linked to the flora and fauna of their homes, existing as the nearly immortal voices and guardians of the wilderness, elves are instead mortals who are in tune with the natural world around them. The long-lived elves are children of the natural world, similar in many superficial ways to fey creatures, though with key differences.
