Elves (エルフ, Erufu) are a race in the Suikoden series. Several prominent characters in the series have been elves.
Overview
Elves are a forest-dwelling race known for their long lives and their long ears. They are also known to be skilled in the arts of magic and archery. One elf years is about equal to 1.5 human years and so it is not uncommon for humans to think that an elf looks young for their age.
One traditional home for elves was the Village of the Elves, atop the giant tree Lukie Ende Towayo, located in south-eastern Toran. However, it was destroyed during the Gate Rune War. Elves are traditionally exclusionary towards other races, but this attitude is slowly improving.
