What is a High Elf?
High elves are a noble, magic-gifted elven race found across fantasy worlds. In Dungeons & Dragons they are keen wizards with Fey ancestry, while in Skyrim they appear as the Altmer of the Summerset Isles. Inspired by Tolkien's Eldar, they prize wisdom, longevity, and arcane mastery.
