Creature Superior-Darkness Dark Elf The elven line in the deep, tall and narrow-waisted, with skin the deep violet to a near-black and a network of fine, pale violet veins at the temples. It is at home in the dark the way the surface is at home in the light, and the dark never burns it.

Creature Dark-Sight Observer The tall, narrow, robed shape of the silent city, faceless under the hood, with a pale robe the color of old spire-stone and pale eyes that see the dark the way the surface sees the light. It sees the dark the way the surface sees the light, and the seeing is not a choice.

Creature Sunlight-Sensitivity Dark Elf The elven line in the deep, tall and narrow-waisted, with skin the deep violet to a near-black and eyes that glow in the dark. The surface light is a wound to it — the wound that keeps the deep honest — and the sensitivity is not a choice.

Creature Spire-Sense Observer The tall, narrow, robed shape of the silent city, faceless under the hood, with a pale robe the color of old spire-stone and a single record bead at the throat. It feels the silence's mood a day before it is broken, and the feeling is not a choice.

Creature Rapid-Learning Erudite The tall, lean, deliberate shape of the scriptorium, with a face that is almost a question, and a pair of pale silver-grey eyes that hold the new page a moment longer than a page should be held. It learns the skill in a day the way a human learns it in a season, and the learning is not a choice.

Creature Pattern-Sight Erudite The tall, lean, deliberate shape of the scriptorium, with a face that is almost a question, and a pair of pale silver-grey eyes that read the pattern before the page is turned. It sees the shape of the answer a day before the ink is dry, and the seeing is not a choice.
