Verbityk
Elves are very rare, appearing only in small pockets in the deep forests of
the World of Greyhawk. Thought to be related to the Grugach and perhaps the
Snow Elves, Verbityk Elves are more closely connected with their Faerie
heritage than most of their cousin Races. They have a dire sensitivity to
ferrous metal, which encourages them to avoid proximity to the races of
Dwarves and Men, who favor Iron based equipment. Smaller than most other
Races of Elves, Verbityk Elves are also superbly graceful and exquisitely
beautiful as a rule. They are equally as likely to favor archery or Arcane
Magic, with many of their number mastering both. |
NOTE:
This Package represents a "powered up", Celtic flavored Elf Race with a
Vulnerability to Iron & Steel, but otherwise solidly superior to most other
Race Packages. |
