Half Elves

The physical attractiveness of elves is appealing to humans. Mating between the two races is common when the opportunity arises, although the human partner is often unaware of their lover's true race. Marriages between the two races are extremely rare if only because their relative lifespans are so incompatible.

Because Sindarin are not particularly fertile, the birth of a half-kin is a rare event. Half elves combine many of the traits of both races, possessing the strength and build of humans, and the grace, wisdom and sensitivity of the elves. they tend to be emotional, displaying anger, passion and joy more readily than either race.

Compared to humans, half elves have extended lifespans, perhaps twice or thrice that of humans, however they are vulnerable to diseases and few survive beyond one hundred.
