Sun elf

The Sun elves (sometimes known as Desert elves) are an Elven subrace native to the continent of Mariden.

Biology
Like all Elves, Sun elves are distinguished by their pointed ears and slender and athletic bodies.

Their skin is bronze in color, slightly lighter than those of the Wood elves.

Culture
Sun elves are the most economically motivated of all the Elven subraces. They rely on trade with others and place great emphasis on maintaining good relations and friendships with potential customers.

Slavery
Like the Mariden, the Sun elves practice slavery, mostly of the Bestia races in their lands. However, Sun elf slaves have more rights under the law (Ex. rights to medical care and pensions in their old age). Also, the Sun elf kingdoms have very strict laws involving the treatment of slaves (Ex. If an owner is caught abusing their slaves, their slaves would be repossessed and the owner would be sold into slavery).

Religion
The Sun elves have a polytheistic religion centered around the worship of numerous gods and goddesses.
