The Elvish peoples descended from the forces of nature itself. Incredibly talented in focusing the arcane and many notable ancient scholars were elves. It is unknown where elves came from as they have no lineage through evolution but are believed to have descended from humans that tapped into a force so powerful that it changed them and their descendants fundamentally.
Qetzli (Dragon Elves) - Qetzli represent the arcane element of Heat. Closely related to drakes, the Qetzli share many characteristics with their draken cousins with the exception of wings as an extra appendage. They have leathery skin and patterns of scales similar to alligators and typically a pair or crown of horns. Lineages of Qetzli also follow the species of sentient dragons with changes to typical skin shades and horn shapes. Their complexion can be across the entire rainbow. With their leathery skin, the Qetzli are immune to contact with extreme temperatures that are hazardous to other beings. There are records that fire-based lineages have been able to withstand temperatures of above 400 Celsius without any pain or burns, but most tend to draw the line at 150-190 Celsius before feeling any pain.
