The Elven Outcast
Caught between the cultures of the Elves and Humans, Half Elves have struggled to establish their own society. They are known for their fierce determination and independent spirit. The Half Elves are rebellious which seems to show through in their hair styles and garb. They have grown somewhat rebellious as a result of exile and refer to themselves as Ayr'Dal, a term derived from the old elven word for "misfit.

General
Half elves are the fruit of the union between any of the three ancient elven races and a human. Their height can range anwhere from that of the shorter wood elf or dark elf to that of a human. The more delicate elven facial structure and carry through and they have pointed ears although their physique more closely resemble humans in build. This blend of features creates perhaps one of the most exquisitely beautiful races on Norrath.
Caught between cultures, half elves possess no common heritage and in order to attain their own identify, half elves have embraced out-landish hair styles and garb as they thumb their noses at all their forebears: the elegant high elves, the disciplined dark elves, the free-spirited, nature-loving wood elves and the balanced, conservative humans in one fell swoop. Half elves are natural born scouts and excel at it with their exceptionally high agility. But their intelligence have also led many down the path of the mage..

Background
Offspring of humans and three different elven races, half elves in of themselves as a group are a mixed bunch. Possessing no heritage of their own, Half elves were viewed as inferior their elven ancestors who viewed them as a taint upon the purity of their respective races. Although the wood elves were more accepting and humans did not care one way or the other, half elves have long been forced to exist outside the boundaries of polite elven society. They were mostly content to live in the human cities or to embrace their woodland heritage. With the influx of refugees into the cities however, half elves have come to feel displaced from the only way of life they knew. Feeling alienated as a result, they began refer to themselves as Ayr'Dal, a term derived from the old elven word for "misfit." Though often used by dark elves and high elves as an insult, the half elves have embraced the word as a symbol of their unique place in the world.
Faith
Many half elves feel abandoned and out of place in the world, and so choose not to worship any specific deity. Or perhaps in defiance of convention, they worship any deity they wish. The exceptions are druids, who are respectful of Nature as a primal force and often devote themselves to Tunare or Karana.
