Elves

Light Elves can be half gods on occasion, though both pure elven folk or demi-elves attend Pantheonium. Occasionally recruiters and scouts. Tend to be rather tall. Unlike Dwarves, they require constant sunlight or else they become tired and sickly. They have non-human traits such as pointy ears, green veins, and reflective eyes. They also smell like pine needles and woodsmoke. Elves do not have much tolerance for things that aren't perfect, including their own children. Expert magicians and archers, connected to nature.

Trolls, like Dwarves, turn to stone when exposed to sunlight, and are cured of their petrified state by running water. Naturally speaks Germanic languages and Old Norse.

Hulders

Sprite-like spirits, the Sweden variety possess fox tails while the Norwegian clan has cow tails. They have a hollow back “like an old tree trunk”(all variants possess the holes). The females are rather shy about their holes, and have long hair to cover them up, sometimes killing those who have seen their holes out of shame, whilst males are overly provocative, riding in town naked, hole exposed proudly. Both male and female Hulders are very seductive and hard to sexually satisfy, and those foolish enough to attempt to and fail are often killed and eaten by the Hulder. They use their magic power of 'huldren' make others act uncanny, "being under the Hulder's spell" (i.e. suffering from inexplicable madness). They can not touch iron, like Fae, it burns their skin.
