The gods labored as they bring the world to life, and Lawydia's sibling trying to recover his ruined swamps. As the trees are created, she decides that it is time for her to spread her essence over the land.

Create sentient: elves in Nightmare Swamps

The elves are evil, spiteful creatures that views all other mortals around them as lesser beings. While not truly immortal themselves, an average elf can live up to 500 years. They resemble a humanoid, albeit taller and paler, with jet black hair. They sport four long, sleek ears, two of them on each side of their head. Their eyes are clouded and glowing, making it impossible to see where an elf is looking at. Elves live in "harmony" with their environment, residing like spirits in a tree or rocks, and corrupting them as they siphoned the mana out of them.

They do not wear clothes in their own Retreat, but will wear exquisite garbs and hats when dealing with foreigners.

Elves are chaotic creatures, at best partying every night, and at worst causing trouble and mischief to other mortals. While dealing with them usually benefit their allies, one must always be wary of them, as the elf constantly make up trade ethics to their whims just to piss off their trade partners, and the partners must endure it in exchange for their exquisite craftsmanship, medicines, and weapons.

Their core trade ethic is that they forbid the trade of stone products during Spring, wood during Summer, gems during Autumn and metal during Winter.

A victim to the elf's prank will find the Mark of Lawydia on on the property. Superstitions say that the Mark allow Lawydia to trespass the property, and so they must hurry to remove it.

Yeah, I hate elves.
