HIGH HUMAN
High Humans often look very human with minor to major indicators of their unusual high elven ancestry. These differences can span a wide range, but most often are exemplified by an unearthly beauty, hair that shines like metal, strange eye color, and pointed ears. This heritage can remain hidden for generations and unexpectedly appear in the offspring of two seemingly human or high-human parents.
High Humans also tend to have strong, confident personalities, with minds that are not easily shaken by doubt or misdirection. They are often quite insightful and perceptive, able to formulate coherent and persuasive arguments with little effort.
Like their ancestors, Their hair, which is typically naturally straight and healthy, usually ranges through the normal spectrum of fair hair, though some possess pure colourless white hair. Neither High Human males nor females go bald, and indeed they show little in the way of discernible signs of aging. High Human ears are generally between six to nine inches in length and point backwards, angling upwards slightly to end usually parallel to the crown of the head. High Human skin colors can range from the resemblance of a Dark Elf to that of a fair skinned High Elf.

HUMAN
Humans are the most numerous civilized humanoid race of Murn Dharul with a variety of ethnicities, and a stake in virtually every corner of the world. Known for their adaptability and versatility, humans have throughout history been behind many of the largest and most prosperous of nations. Though they are widely diverse, they lack a distinct physical racial advantage. Although, Humans are known to be craft, short-lived, and inventive, make up for their weaker frames with their minds.
Standing 5 to 7 feet, living 80-100 years.
HALF-ELF
The half-elven race began as the product of relationships between humans and elves, but has developed into a true-breeding race. The last true claimants to the title of 'Elf' on Murn Dharul, Half-elves combine human and elven traits, and as a consequence tend to be considered outsiders by both races. On the other hand, the combination of human skill with elven beauty makes them good artists and entertainers as well as well-traveled adventurers. Splitting the poor and middle-class populations with Humans, the two races have gotten closer than they'll ever be to High Humans, but still retain many reservations about intermingling between the two. Half-elven males on average stand a few inches taller than human males, while half-elven women stand a good deal taller than their average human counterparts: about five to six inches. Half-elves are shorter than elves, and have pointed ears, although not nearly as elongated as those of their elven ancestors. They retain the lean build and comely appearance of the elves, while their skin, while fair, takes its color from their human lineage. Some half-elves look more like their human ancestors, while others favor their elven progenitors in appearance. This variance can often lead to social stigmas, as the more human-looking half-elves are more-easily accepted in human society, and vice versa.
Standing 3 to 5 feet, living up to 500 years.
