	Aeleen (Star Elves) Nearly unknown to any on the material plane, Star Elves, like their twin race the Wild Elves, were the first elves to come into existence in the multi-verse. As fate should have it, before the splitting of the Children of Darkness and of Light, these Star Elves sprang forth from the very creative essence of the multi-verse, on their own, without the aid of The Gods. They mostly live scattered throughout the upper reaches of the outer planes. On rare occasion, star elves with the required amount of skill have traveled to other planes for a myriad of reasons, usually through some odd circumstance. Traits & Adjustments: Hearty Physique: Gain +1d8 hit points to your hit point maximum; once at character creation, and again at 4th, 12th, and 17th level advancement. Blessing of the Cosmos: The creative essence that flows through their veins has gifted them with the ability to heal others; a pool of star-fire that exists within each of them powers this ability. With this pool, they can restore a number of hit points equal to their level x 3. As an action they can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in their pool. Alternatively, they can expend 5 hit points from their pool to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. They can also cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of this ability, expending hit points separately for each one. At 3rd lvl they learn the Spare the Dying cantrip. At 6th lvl they gain use of the Scorching Ray spell, and can cast it as a 2nd lvl spell without expending spell slots. The damage type for this spell is changed to radiant damage. Wisdom is the spellcasting ability for this spell. They are able to use this ability once per long rest.

Similar to the sun elves or moon elves, most star elves are tall (usually between 6 and 8 feet tall) and slender. Star elves are graceful and strikingly handsome by human standards; because of this, they gain a +1 to Charisma at character creation. Temperament: Star Elves tend to keep to themselves, and live in small communities as well as members of larger societies. They are very observant and wise, finding wonder in all things new and unknown. Languages: Celestial, Elven, and one other of their choice.
	Kurin (Wild Elves) Another race nearly unknown to any on the material plane, Wild Elves, like their twin race the Star Elves, were among the first elves to come into existence in the multi-verse. As fate should have it, after the creation of the realms and before the splitting of the Children of Darkness and of Light, these Star Elves sprang forth from the combined remnants the Elemental Chaos and the Feywild, of their own volition--without the aid of The Gods. Wild Elves live scattered throughout the multi-verse. They tend to have a disdain for the material plane, and as such they usually avoid it.

You fix your eyes on the target, and they are compelled to establish eye contact with you; target must succeed on Wisdom saving throw, DC= 1d4+ your proficiency bonus + 10, or be overcome by madness. Roll 1d4 to determine which of the following conditions you inflict upon the target: 1= Blindness, 2=Charmed, 3=Deafened, 4=Frightened. This condition lasts until the end of your next turn, unless if during that turn your choose to establish madness again. At which point, the target will make an additional wisdom saving throw or again be overcome my madness; as before, roll 1d4 to determine which condition is inflicted. At 15th level, you gain greater control of your abilities and gain advantage on your rolls to determine conditions inflicted. At 17th level, you've become adept with your abilities and can decide which conditions are inflicted, without a determining dice roll. Deep Slumber: Unlike most other elves, Wild elves do not enter reverie. Instead, while resting they enter a deep, hibernation-like, sleep. They do not dream. During this time they fall inwardly, into a rolling sea of chaos and fey energy—the very place their power comes from. You are able to achieve a long rest in 4 hours time. Temperament: Wild Elves are nomadic by nature, choosing live alone and sometimes in small communities; only in rare cases has a Wild Elf lived in any sort of large civilization. They are very impulsive and strange, finding delight and disgust in the oddest of things. Languages:Sylvan and Elven.

Captured, and twisted by the Children of Darkness, these elves became the embodiment of all that is vile and evil in the world.
