Elves are a race of graceful forest dwelling humanoids.
Background
Elves are amongst of the 'Humanoid Type' races of YGGDRASIL that players can use as their game avatar.
Also, elves can be found in the New World and are separated into various groups based on cultural differences. As a race that is accustomed to nature, elves prefer to make their homes in the forests.
For instance, the largest known elven society found in the New World is the Elf Country. They have an average lifespan that is around a thousand years. Members of the elf royal family possessed traits of the old elves.

- Dark Elves: Dark elves are cousins of the wood elves that are far more isolationist and tend to live far away from civilization.
- Half Elves: Half elves are a mix between elven and human heritage.
- Wild Elves: Only mentioned in the Web Novel.

Though there is very little information of common elven culture, they do possess a ruling class known as the Royal Elf Family. In the Web Novel, the Loyal Elf was a member of the Elf Royal Family who bore the special characteristics of the ancestral elves. It is unknown what these special characteristics are specifically.
Though there is something about heterochromic eyes is special for elves. Igvarge distinctly remembered an important detail about elves with heterochromic eyes, before he was killed by Mare. Imina is surprised seeing Aura's eyes and the three captured elven slaves of Tenmu have become absolutely loyal to Aura and Mare.
