high elves

Aristocratic fantasy race

High elves are a fantasy race appearing in mythology, literature, and games—typically tall, long-lived, and magically gifted beings who consider themselves superior to other elves and mortal races.

They often inhabit ancient cities or enchanted forests and possess advanced knowledge of magic and craftsmanship.

The term distinguishes them from wood elves, dark elves, and other elvish subtypes: The high elves refused to ally with humans.
