Half-Elves

The Half-Elves, or Seledin (a portmanteau of Seleniel and  Cefradin), are the descendants of both Humans and Elves. Although initially, Half-Elves were simply the children of a Human mating with an Elf, the term has since grown to encompass any Humanoid individual that also carries Sylvan blood within them.

Description
Half-Elves appear to be mostly human, tending to fall within the lower part of human height and weight ranges. Although not nearly as pronounced as their Sylvan counterparts, the Half-Elven ear possesses a slight point. The mottled skin patterns of the Seleniel can be found in the skin of many Half-Elves, albeit in a less pronounced manner.

For most Half-Elves, the Ardyn is substantially less physically  prominent, resulting in much more subdued manifestations than those of their Elven ancestors. For some, it disappears entirely.

The Best of Both Worlds
While Half-Elves traditionally have been equally welcome in the lands of either Humans or Elves, a pattern of behavior follows them in either place. From their Human ancestry, they gain a certain vigor and tenacity, and they grow up about as quickly as Humans do. From their Elven ancestry, they gain a unique connection with nature, and an extraordinarily long life. Half-Elves commonly live to be over 250 years of age.

Some Half-Elves dwell comfortably among their Elven ancestors, and by ritual means, they can even strengthen their connection to the Ardyn and commune with their world as the Elves do. Some Half-Elves are content to live amongst Humanity, but often find themselves alone as they outlive most of their friends and family in these settings.

For most Half-Elves, the natural solution is to make their own place in the world.
