Elves
Tirolean culture is classist, and has existed in this way for millennia. Over time, several sub-races emerged as differen parts of the population became specialized in different roles. The core elf sub-races map to Tirolean culture as follows:High Elves are the urbanites of Tiresia--nobles, merchants, and artisans who often take on leadership roles in the community. The majority of the founders of the Artifice Masters were of this race. [Cabell, Zor]
Wood Elves can be found living in he wilderness of the large island of Tirol. Because of their experiences with hunting and exploration, wood elves are more martially inclined than high elves, so often find themselves in military roles. The military forces of the Artifice Masters are primarily wood elves.
