High elves consider themselves to be the purest of all the elven races, their
pride besting even that of the proudest drow. Because of this, they are
often thought of by other elves as being unbearably haughty. They tend to
take this pride in their purity to such extremes that one of their numbers
caught dallying with a lower race is often punished harshly. High-elf females
that give birth to half-breeds are exiled entirely from the society, often
after a severe whipping. In some cases, the half-breed child is killed to
prevent high-elf blood from mixing with that of the lower races when it grows
to an adult. While they see the other elven races as impure, the double this
opinion of the drow, often seeing them as the lowest of the low, and there is a hatred between the high-elves and the drow that often erupts into skirmishes
and at times minor wars. Because of their racial purity, the features of
high-elves are more pronounced. Their ears are longer somewhat, their limbs
more lithe and agile, and their facial features more elven in appearance.
Most all of them have lightly colored hair, white to yellow-gold. Their eyes
are almost always blue or green, though the occasional golden-eyed high-elf is born.
