[[File:IvoryElf.jpg|thumb|right|A male ivory elf.]]
The offspring of a When [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]] and an crossbreed with [[SRD:Elves, High (Race)|elves]] is known as an ivory elf, named for the color of their skin. These half-breeds never quite fit into their parent’s societies. Those who resultant offspring are put up for adoption are often taken into churches, were they are put to good use. An known as ivory elf has an innate strength greater than his (half-human) [[SRD:Half-Elves (Race)|half-elven]] cousinselvesThis increase in physical strength and prowess is due Due to "hybrid vigor", a common (an occurrence between two closely-related species, where the offspring gains the best aspects of his parents. While most ivory elves are the result of crossbreedingtougher than either parent species), these half-breeds possess some are simply of the offspring strengths of two ivory elven their parents. A tale of an ivory-[[SRD:Elves, Dark—Drow (Race)|drow]] that was without weakness to light or dark, had gray skin and white hair who fought with determined malice has long been a favorite of bardic tales, but the accuracy surrounding it has never been substantiated. ==Personality== Ivory elves raised in [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deekan]] society, tend to behave more like as well as abilities all their [[Deeka (3own.5e Race)|deeka]] parent. However, when raised outside [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deekan]] cities, they tend to be reserved and thoughtful, but with no less perseverance and determination. Combining elven aloofness with deekan fanaticism has resulted in many ivory elves being workaholics who devote themselves to their pursuits, or at the least, eccentrics. ==Physical Description== Ivory elves appear noble, with sleek ivory skin, striking platinum blond hair and cold pale eyes. They Ivories are also retain the small shoulder protuberances of their [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deekan]] parentage. Ivory elves also have more sylvan features and are slightly shorter longer lived than their [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]] parentrace, but taller reach maturity faster and age quicker than their [[SRD:Elves, High (Race)|elven]] parent. They grow to slightly over-tall [[SRD:Humans (Race)|human]] height, but are very statuesque. The unfamiliar often can confuse them with [[SRD:Celestial Creature|celestials]] or [[SRD:Planetouched—Aasimars (Race)|aasimars]]. ==Relations== Ivory elves are welcome among [[SRD:Humans (Race)|humans]], [[SRD:Elves, High (Race)|elves]] and [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]] lands, and are fairly universally accepted in cultured lands. The shorter races do find their height irritating, if nothing elserace.
==Alignment==Possible, but rare (and more likely the result of ritualistic transformation), are the galena, a half [[SRD:Elves, Dark—Drow (Race)|drow]]-[[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]]. Such creatures are without weakness to light or dark and persevere with determined malice.
Ivory elves have no predetermination toward a preferred [[SRD:Alignment|alignment]]. Studious ivory elves are often lawful, but when their devotion lacks direction, they easily take to becoming chaotic.===Personality===
==Lands==Ivory elves combine a bit of elven aloofness with deekan fanaticism. Many ivory elves become bossy or workaholics who devote themselves to their pursuits. Others end up as eccentrics, paving their own way.
Ivory elves live in either homeland of their parents. With such small numbers, they hold no lands of their own. In some lands where elves and deeka live near each other for many generations, small populations of ivory elves do form, but they don't segregate themselves from either culture. Occasionally, mixed-culture cities do form, however, these are not ivory elven cities.===Physical Description===
==Religion==Ivory elves stand with nobility and grace, often well groomed and dressed, with smooth ivory skin, platinum-blonde hair and pale-hued eyes. They retain the small clavicle protuberances of their [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deekan]] parentage. Ivory elves also possess subdued sylvan features and grow in height between their [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]] and [[SRD:Elves, High (Race)|elven]] parents. Their exotic mix of traits causes some resemblance to [[SRD:Celestial Creature|celestials]] and [[SRD:Planetouched—Aasimars (Race)|aasimars]].
Ivory Galena have lead-gray skin and alabaster-white hair, but otherwise look like other ivory elves practice religion as either of their parents. Many become devout and faithful followers.
==Language=Land & Culture===
Ivory elves speak Commonhave no homeland or distinct culture. Often, Elven they're outcasts, never quite fitting in to either deeka or elven societies. Elves often find them as an affront to elven purity, like other half-breeds. They're more likely to fit in among cosmopolitan civilizations where their devotions and motivations can be given focus and Deekadirection. Those who travel tend to lead chaotic lives.
==Names==In their youth, many ivory elves learn as many languages as they can, often in an attempt to figure out who they are and where they belong in the world. Orphaned ivory elves often learn to speak Celestial instead of either Elven or Deeka when taken in by churches or temples.
===Ivory elves carry names from either of their bloodlines, depending on where they were raised. If orphaned, ivory elves are often named after celestial beings or angels.Elf Racial Traits===
