Elf

Exiled to the wilderness or relegated to Alienages, elves are a down trodden underclass when it comes to human society. Never seeming to rise to the heights of their human counterparts, many city elves dream of the freedom of the Dalish wanderers. For all elves, life is harsh, and things seem unlikely to change despite many of Thedas' great heroes belonging to this people.

City Elf
Forced to live in cramped and squalid Alienages, city elves fill the ranks of the lowest jobs of these settlements, where they have jobs at all. Born to poverty and likely to stay there, they nevertheless have close ties with their community, enjoying their own unique culture in the company of tight-knit families and neighbours. Occasionally, those elves that 'make good,' might own their own small farms, but constantly live under threat of eviction by their local lords.
