Elven District

The Elven District was the last of the 3 current districts to form in the early days of Qatif. The Elven district is comprised of a sub race of Elves called "Sun Elves" with a darker complexion often considered similar to the color of bronze, with brighter hair and eye colors in general.

The Elven district is currently gearing for war against the Mindflayers.

Appearance
Sun Elves have a strong talent for magic, and their district's atmosphere epitomizes that fact. The air is said to feel cooler and crisper, and lush tropical vegetation can be found growing everywhere. The Elven buildings are almost entirely made of wood or other organic components. Some elves even make their dwellings atop of the large palm trees that grow within the district. Because of their natural athleticism, some elves choose to leap from tree to tree in order to avoid the crowded streets below the tree line.

The district is a jumble of shops and dwellings, with the government building and art conservatory at the far north end of the district. Of the three districts, the Elven District has the least racial diversity, although dwarven businessmen are often seen conducting business in the district.

Government
The Elven District is ruled by a body of 4 council members. These members serve for life or until they choose to resign, and are replaced by popular vote. They often hold open audience and have open house discussions with the people of the district. They deal with all matters, and thus are very busy. There is no time table for these decisions, and thus decisions can take time to come upon. In the event of a disagreement, the council member known as the "Paragon of the Council" has the final say.

Economy
The Elven district has a small economy, containing only one Inn, and a few shops. The draw of the district is mostly in it's arts, and the magical ability of it's inhabitants. Although there is no official school of magic, many novices travel there to learn under a mentor.
