Grenalfir

The Grenalfir are natives to Grenshore, a jungle coated land at an extreme distance away from the lands of man.

Contact was originally made in AC897, shortly after the Eldrow war of conquest using Eldrow Airboats to fly above the great storms of the vast oceans that separated the two continents. It held a mixed crew of both Human and Eldrow members.

Their attitudes towards magic is fairly neutral, as they had not discovered it previously, and had not come to a general agreement.

Appearance
They appear physically similar to the Eldrow on the opposing side of the Lands of Man. The main difference lies in the tones of their skin. Where an Eldrow would have white or grey skin, a Grenalfir has a deep tan to fair skin tone, similar to the Humans of the Isle of Crensha. Given the similar environments, this is not a surprise.

Hair tends to be dark, but some brighter colors do exist. Eyes are usually blue and green, and the women usually have small secondary sexual organs when compared to the other races. This causes extreme desirability and value to fall upon women where this is not the case.

Their height is fairly similar to the Eldrow, if a bit shorter. Typically around 6 inches taller than humans to the Eldrow 8 inches. Their build is similar as well. Nearly always fit, and not broad. This is likely due to the more active lifestyle they live compared to humans.

Life
The day-to-day life of a Grenalfir is fairly simple. Unlike their cold dwelling cousins (a term used loosely), they have an extremely patriarchal society, as well as other aspects of life.

For Men
Men do the working, hunting, and decision making. Do schoolwork, and construction, and all other labors that do not involve children.

For Women
The women are, quite literally, treated as objects, and spend most of their time following their owners in as little clothing as possible, and if pregnant or a mother, stay at home to watch children, training daughters how to behave, while the sons follow their fathers and learn to work.

Many have serious issues speaking and reading, as they were raised for beauty, not intelligence. Some buildings exist where girls as young as 12 are simply kept for men's enjoyment, like a free brothel. Splinter groups exist, known to the humans as "Amazons" that rejected their male overlords and started their own civilizations, and are the most wanted criminals in all of Grenshore.
