High Elves or Quinarians consider themselves the most powerful of the civilized races. They are primarily fair skinned individuals with frail bodies and ears that tip to a point. Their tongues spout words of poignant wit and intelligence. High Elves have no fear of those around them, for their long history supports their belief that they are the most powerful of all Arawyn’s people. This gives them plenty of time to study their passion, the arcane arts.

Quinarians are known to have a distant ancestral relation with the highly magical race that are the founders of magic, known as the Fae. As such, magic is innate to their being. Today there is not one among them who does not possess some latent magical ability. Many of the greatest mages ever known have been Quinarians. They dispute the fact that size has anything to do with power, relying on the belief that their magic alone could shake any empire. It is also their most ardent belief that when a Quinarian’s time in this world is over, she must journey to the land of their ancestors where she will live forever. Thus, few Elven graves are ever seen. Those who do fall in this life are honored greatly for their sacrifice.

Quinarians are perhaps the most intelligent of all the known races and will always try to make this apparent when dealing with non-High Elves. They appreciate wit and humor, but they will often try to center attention on themselves when stories and jokes are being told in an open manner. Their arrogance is only matched by Hobgoblins who - for different reasons – also believe themselves to be the greatest of races. Quniarians regard Humans with a certain amount of respect, only due to their considerable political power. All other races, however, are viewed and treated as lesser creatures and do not bear much significance to them. They are especially enraged by the mere existence of the Dark Elves whom deserve nothing more than the despicable lives they lead. High Elves often treat Sylvan Elves as misguided brethren who have foolishly thrown aside their innate magical heritage to pursue a more in-depth relationship with nature.
