Paizo Inc.So I started playing TTrpgs with dnd 5e and have recently gotten more into pathfinder 1e, as I enjoy its complexity and customisability much more. ↑ Shaun Hocking, Rob McCreary, and Jason Nelson.↑ James Jacobs, Dave Gross, Rob McCreary.↑ 17.0 17.1 Hal Maclean and Jeff Quick.↑ The plural of elf is elves, not elfs.They settle near Osirion's fertile river valleys and establish settlements near oases. They are sometimes known as desert elves or oasis elves. Vourinoi: Nomadic elves native to the deserts of northern Garund, the Vourinoi worship Desna and have close ties to the Mualijae.The other subgroups are the Alijae and the Kallijae. The Mualijae long ago split into three distinct subgroups, the largest of which is the Ekujae. These elves remained on Golarion when the others fled to Sovyrian. Mualijae: These jungle-dwelling elves live in the Mwangi Expanse.Arrogant and standoffish even towards other elves, they see themselves as the keepers of the secrets of lost Azlant and wish to prevent another cataclysm like Earthfall. Mordant Spire elves, or Spiresworn, or gray elves: The elves of the Mordant Spire.They traveled east through the cavern systems until they emerged in central Tian Xia, where they funded the nation of Jinin. Jininese elves: The descendants of a group of elves who split off from the ancestors of the drow during their descent into the Darklands.They are gruff toward outsiders and respect shows of force. Ilverani: These pale-skinned elves live among the mountains of the Crown of the World.Aquatic elves: These elves have adapted to life underwater, with gills and webbed fingers.Aiudeen are the descendants of the elves who returned to Golarion in the 27th century using the Sovyrian Stone. When people around the Inner Sea think of "elven culture," they are typically thinking of Aiudeen culture. Aiudeen: This is the most common elven ethnicity in the Inner Sea region.Changes in elven physiology generally occur gradually over centuries, but even a single elf's appearance can change dramatically over the course of his or her lifetime when exposed to a new environment. Unlike humans, elven diversity springs not from common ethnic lineages, but is often a result of their species' adaptation to the various ecological habitats across the planet. Most are physically very similar to the common elves of Kyonin, but some (such as the drow) depart radically from their ancestral stock. Like humans, elves are divided into different cultural groups across Golarion. When their diviners and astronomers discovered that Earthfall would soon destroy Golarion, they departed through these gates to their mysterious legendary homeland of Sovyrian, where they remained in isolation for thousands of years.

The elves knew that they would ultimately have to cede much of the world to humans, given the low elven birth rate, and so the elves turned their attention away from Golarion and focused on exploring the other nearby planets, traveling across vast distances through a series of interplanetary gates (known as elf gates). Early expansionist human cultures soon came into conflict with the elves in their reach to grasp ever more of the world. Little evidence remains of this prehistoric elven presence, although it is clear that they were among the first civilization to rise on Golarion. Their civilization on Golarion reached its peak during the Age of Legend, long before their human cousins founded their first settled communities. Elven historians debate whether their race originated on Golarion or on Sovyrian, a continent in southern Castrovel, but archaeological evidence points to El, the oldest city on Sovyrian, to be far older than any evidence of elves on Golarion they likely emigrated from Castrovel to Golarion in the late Age of Serpents and had no contact with the declining serpentfolk empire that had once ruled a large part of Golarion. The history of the elves is an ancient one.
