The child of a Nymph and an Elf. The Elven Nymph is either seen as lesser being or slave among Nymph or a nightmare abombination among Elves.

Elven Nymph

The High Elves and the Nymph have long been allies and defenders of the woodlands and all of the creatures that inhabit them. Working so closely it is very common for an Elf (often a druid) to fall in love with a Nymph and during such unions a Elven Nymph

Alignment

On the law-chaos axis most all Nymph lean strongly towards the Chaotic end. Some are Neutral, and while it is possible for a Elven Nymph to be Lawful, that is a very rare case. On the good-evil axis most all Elven Nymph are very internally conflicted. They have Nymph blood which draws them to be evil and the Elven blood drawing them to be good. Elven Nymph are distrusted almost as much as the Nymph they descend from wherever they go. Despite this fact, a good Elven Nymph is much less rare than a good Nymph is. With the right encouragement, an Elven Nymph can become a trusted (and trusting) ally and friend, as well as a stalwart champion of good. However, without this encouragement, is all too easy for a frustrated Elven Nymph to slip down the slippery slopes of evil.

Lands

Elven Nymph have no lands of their own, and are rarely welcomed wherever they go. On rare occasion, some Elven Nymph band together in a small tribe and live out in the wilderness, but such a gathering would be few and far between. Elven Nymph find the most acceptance in Human lands, and on rare occasion some are given a chance to prove themselves (over a great period of time) in Elven lands. If they were to ever return to Nymph lands, they would be seen as inferior and would be clear second class citizens, barely above slaves.

Language

Elven Nymph do not have any language of their own, but they do commonly learn the languages of either or both of their parents while growing up. All Elven Nymph generally learn Common and then depending on their living situation growing up, they also generally learn either Elven and/or Sylvan. For example a Elven Nymph raised by his Elf father as in a Elven city would learn Common and Elven. But a Elven Nymph raised by a Nymph mother entirely in a Nymph glade never seeing an Elf might not learn Elven, she may only learn Common and Sylvan. Where as a Elven Nymph raised with both parents might learn all 3; Common, Elven and Sylvan. A Elven Nymph raised in a Elven city does not have to have the influence of the Nymph parent to learn Sylvan, that just makes it more likely that they would.

Names

Elven Nymph names are commonly given to them by one of their parents and are generally named using common Elven or Nymph names.
