Half-elves

Half-elves are hybrids between elves and humans. They are typically slightly taller than humans and inherit the skin and hair color of their human parents, though they also have slightly pointed ears due to their elven blood. Half-elves can descend from any of the elf subraces, even the drow, but do not gain any of the specific elf subrace benefits.

Due to their enthusiasm for diverse social interaction, garnet elves are the most common sires of half-elves, though parents from every elf subrace have been known. Half-elves are widely accepted by most human communities, but their acceptance in elf communities varies on their lineage; garnet elves treat them with great respect out of their experiences in other lands, while opal elves tolerate them fairly (though there is often an unspoken distaste for their "watered down" intelligence, unless proven otherwise), jade elves tend to view them as outsiders and are thus distrusting of them, and subterranean drow see them as no better than their human relatives (though surface drow are usually greatly accepting of them). Among communities of other elf subraces, half-elves are treated with the same quality as a combination between their own subrace parentage, and other humans.

Half-elves in Orthonia have the same racial traits as in the PHB (no matter what subrace their elf parent comes from).
