The Elves have spent the last 10000 years at war with demons, who were once their allies. They were trapped in the Ever-After by demons in punishment for enslaving them. The elves migrated from the Ever-After 2000 years ago. They have a very attractive humanoid form with pointy ears unless they are docked, and can interbreed with humans (but not witches). They are often described as manipulative tricksters filled with deviltry. They are the ones who originally cursed the demon's offspring creating the witch race. In response, the demons cursed the elves to have a increasingly decayed genetic structure. Until the advent of genetic manipulation, elves inter-bred with humans to stave off their extinction. Unfortunately, this resulted in the elf population taking unprecedented damage during the Turn along with humans, since their DNA had hybridized so extensively. Full-blooded elves were not affected by the Turn. There are several ten thousand full-blooded elves alive.

Thanks to the work of Trent Kalamack and the theft of a 5000 year old elven blood sample, the genetic structure of the elves is now repairable, and so far two elven children have been born healthy with the successful treatment.

Elves are the only known practitioners of Wild Magic, which involves religious overtones and is closely linked with nature. It has a variety of uses and is extremely effective, but possesses a horrible unpredictability as well as horrible power. When elves use wild magic their voices take on a musical quality and it sounds as if they are singing. Elves are also capable of using ley line magic and are fully capable of using it for black charms and spells, though they do not have quite as high a capacity for storing ley-line energy in their chi as witches or demons do.

Elves mature quickly and have a life span of 160 years. Their government was once a monarchy (Dulciate family) but now have two branches of government, Enclave (movers and shakers) and Dewar (spiritual leaders). Elves have a sense of honor and often when you cause harm to one they hunt you down. Their scent is of cinnamon, wine and evergreen. Pixies adore elves.
