I'M NOT HALF ANYTHING. You HUMANS COME FROM
Sarlona. Elves arefromAerenal. Me? I'm a true child of
Khorvaire.
-Nandon Tam, Khoravar activistFrom the Towering Woods of the Eldeen Reaches to
the slums of Sham, half-elves are found across Khor
vaire. New half-elves are born in every generation from
pairings between humans, elves, and other half-elves,
with children typically clinging to a parent's culture.
Over centuries, though, half-elves have developed their
own communities and traditions, giving them an iden
tity strengthened by the rise of House Lyrandar and
House Medani. Members of these communities gen
erally dislike the term "half-elf," instead calling them
selves Khoravar, an Elvish term meaning "children of
Khorvaire."
The elves of Aerenal have never allowed a half-elf into
the Undying Court, and the Va lenar elves don't consider
half-elves capable of channeling a Va lenar ancestral
spirit. Among humans, though, half-elves don't experi
ence any more prejudice or bias than members of other
races, and some half-elves could easily be mistaken
for human.
In making a half-elf character, consider whether you
were born in a Khoravar community, or if your parents
were members of different races. Is your half-elf identity
a source of pride, a simple fact of life, or something that
has been difficult for you?KHORAVAR
The culture that has developed among Khorvaire's na
tive half-elves places a strong emphasis on hospitality
toward other Khoravar. They don't expect each other to
put themselves in danger for strangers' sake, but when
possible, half-elves do what they can to help others with
information, shelter, and the like. Khoravar communi
ties have weekly unity dinners where local news and
events are shared; these meals are a great chance to
hear about local events and opportunities.
