The Elven Races
Elves are one of the oldest and most respected of all races. All elves worship Bel as their patron god, due to their fey ancestry. In doing so, they actually worship all the wards of Bel, as Bel is both male and female, and changing in form. Elvan clerics and sorcerers are harmonic rather than divine or arcane casters, as they sing their spells. Elves easily understand the arcane writings, and do to their fey nature have a natural understanding of magic and do not need the arcane studies to cast spells, only their heritage. This ability exists in the Elven Bloodlines feat, and most elves possess this ability. Some elves, mixed with human blood, do not possess these elven abilities and have been heard to study arcane arts. Any such elf is wholly rejected by elven society as is seen as a human and not an elf.
