Playable species rare enough that an ordinary person may not know what they are looking at, or may know exactly and be awed by it. These peoples are not hidden and not extinct, but they are uncommon enough across most of Rolara that meeting one is an event rather than a Tuesday. A legendary species draws attention its members cannot switch off, which is the practical difference between this bucket and the peoples who pass for human.
Most of Rolara’s elf lineages file here, including the parent Elf article that links the full family together. So do the semi-ethereal peoples, who are visually striking rather than merely uncommon.
