	Perhaps because of their noble bloodline, and perhaps because of their lives of relative luxury, High Elves are the longest lived of all types of elves. Few have ever died of old age, and this is marked in millenia. Elves generally retire to seclusion after ~~five~~ thousand years of life, finding even the world of Elvendeep too changed from that of their youth.		Perhaps because of their noble bloodline, and perhaps because of their lives of relative luxury, High Elves are the longest lived of all types of elves. Few have ever died of old age, and this is marked in millenia. Elves generally retire to seclusion after two thousand years of life, finding even the world of Elvendeep too changed from that of their youth.

	On average, Common Elves live a millenium before they begin to show ~~age~~, and to live past ~~two~~ millenia is rare.		On average, Common Elves can live around millenium before they begin to show increased aging, and to live past a millenia much longer is rare.

	Perhaps because they feel the rhythms of living things more clearly than their city-going cousins, Wild Elves do not tend to live as long. A Wild Elf might live to be ~~a bare thousand~~ years old before he can no longer function with the tribe and is considered infirm. Children come of age at a younger period of their life, and after fifty they are considered adults.		Perhaps because they feel the rhythms of living things more clearly than their city-going cousins, Wild Elves do not tend to live as long. A Wild Elf might live to be about five-hundred years old before he can no longer function with the tribe and is considered infirm. Children come of age at a younger period of their life, and after fifty they are considered adults.

	*The '''Symari''' dwell in shallow tunnels beneath the Spiri territory, surrounded by soil, roots, and moss.

	In battle, Sorani do not see any dishonour in utilizing shields – despite their being similar to swords in being only useful in battle – and make them out of wooden frames with thick, hide stretched over them, boiled in oil to make it thick and impervious to many weapons. Some choose to accompany the carrying of a shield with the wearing of leather armour (similarly made) and both are decorated with paints and feathers thought to bring luck or magic in battle and intimidate the enemy. One will very rarely see a Sorani shield or armour without painted symbols and images – as this is symbolic of an elf on a Death Quest, the most solemn and rare occasion in a race of life-worshippers. The majority of Sorani, however, pass over armour for stealth and speed and only carry a shield.

	*The '''Dindri''' are occasionally called ‘Swampy Elves.’ Before Sidastriel’s Gift and the corresponding reorganization of Elvendeep into two provinces and one urban centre, they occupied the village of Dindrathil, now a strategic fortress. In the bogs of the northern Soranion, the Dindri captured and tamed the first [[~~giant dragonflies~~]] and perfected silk farming. Nowadays these honey-skinned elves still send their young to Dindrathil for certain rites of passage. They are widely hailed as the finest Aerial Cavaliers.		*The '''Dindri''' are occasionally called ‘Swampy Elves.’ Before Sidastriel’s Gift and the corresponding reorganization of Elvendeep into two provinces and one urban centre, they occupied the village of Dindrathil, now a strategic fortress.

	In an even more general sense, the Spiri self-identify by tatilven, translated literally as ‘Wefts’ but conveying a vague sense of loose tribe or former nationality. These are marcations of national descent and ethnicity, through a long line of respected ancestry. Though Deepish culture is rather homogenous by this point, it is still more common for those of an Elvish weft to intermarry within itself rather than without. Also, there are corresponding traits, both behavioural and morphological. A good analogy from our world might be Americans who identify themselves secondarily as 'Irish,' despite being several generations removed. Though there are scores of tatilven, some of the more common follow.
