| - | '''Half Elves''' are part [[elf]] and part [[human]], combining the best and worst traits of both races. They live longer (and mature more slowly) than humans do. Originally, the term applied only to direct offspring from an elf and a human, but the [http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2004-11-10 meaning changed] when half elves themselves began to reproduce with each other and other elves.

| - | The genetic merging of elf and human doesn't always produce perfect results and sometimes there are aberrations. These are called ''[[Errant]]s'', a less than perfect genetic merger that results in offspring with congenital birth defects that range from sterility to psychosis.

| - | Outside stuff like cuts, broken bones, bruises, or viruses are a completely different matter since those don’t really alter the body’s inherent make up in any way, normal healing affects those just fine.
