Elf
Overview
Subraces
Racial Skill Tree
Elves are one of the humanoid races that inhabit the Continent. Forming a major part of the Elder Races (along with dwarves and gnomes), those known as Aen Seidhe came to the Continent on their white ships much earlier than humans, but later than the other Elder Races. They live much longer than humans and are usually very attractive.
Elves are capable of interbreeding with humans (thus producing half-elves and quadroons) and dryads. Though elves are incredibly long lived, only young elves are fertile, thus elven populations tend to reproduce at a slower rate than humans.
Like other nonhumans, elves are often persecuted by Nordlings. Because of that, many elves were members of the Scoia'tael guerrillas.
Elves believe that they were created, unlike humans, who evolved. For this reason, some elves consider humans to be little more than hairless apes. Aside from Aen Seidhe, there exists another group of elves called Aen Elle that inhabits another world. More... (Witcher RPG Wiki, english only)

Elves are an ancient race and long lived. While other races my have different skin tones and eye shapes, elves have existed long enough to have actual subspecies related to one another but not the same.
Aen Seidhe
The elven culture places an emphasis on naturalism and living in harmony with the land, rather than bending it to one's will. Urban elves tend to be very scholarly or artistic, but can take up a variety of professions just like humans. Rural elves that do not live amongst humans live a somewhat simpler lifestyle, hunting, gathering, and living off the land as needed. In battle, elven warriors favor bows and metal swords, as well as light armor made out of furs and hides. They tend to be skilled at sword fighting from horseback.
Characteristic features of elves include pointed ears and small, identical teeth without cuspids (canine teeth). Elves tend to be very tall and lean, and due to their longevity often appear youthful. Elves are often considered attractive by humans. Like humans, Elves choose to wear a variety of different clothing styles, although Scoia'tael are known to favor furs and hides, particularly those of squirrels and other forest dwelling creatures.
Aen Dhue
Elves born in lands south of the Yaruga are physically not very different from the other Aen Seidhe. They are often, however, assimilated into the culture they live in, admiring the remnants of the Aen Nilfe that remain in the local culture. They are loyal to their realm as much as any human would be. The term "Aen Dhue" (People of the Black) is an informal term, related to their ancestors and is not spoken in the game world.
Aen Laore
The Wood Elves inhabited forests of the Nilfgaardian Empire and another similar state. They are elusive, minding their own business and remain untouched by the influence of the empire.
The Aen Laore (People of the Laurels) have lived in seclusion so long that their appearance has become uniquely different from their cousins.
The racial skill trees are still being worked on. They will be updated as soon as ready.
