The Elves of Oram

Elves on Oram have diverse lifestyles and habitats, from living in trees to underwater. Various subspecies like Aline, Axi, and Kharne thrive in different environments such as grasslands, deserts, and rock formations. The Faerm face extinction, while the Peeq excel in snow-covered mountains. This rich diversity defines the fascinating world of Oram elf culture.
