Straddling the line between the industrious humans and the nature-loving elves, half-elves struggle to find a place of their own in the world. That has become somewhat easier in recent centuries, as many half-elves are now the offspring of two other half-elves, rather than as a result of a union between an elf and a human.
Legally, they have the standing of their father's race. This only matters occasionally, but can be important.
Naming Conventions[edit]
There is no consistent naming convention for half-elves, as they are a byproduct of the intersection between two cultures. Many follow the conventions of their elven heritage, while others take their human family's names. In situations where the two sides are on good terms, many half-elves will be graced with an elven first name and a human family name, or the other way around.
Character Notes[edit]
Half-elves are available as listed in the Player's Handbook.
