The Last of a race of Elves known for their stunning appearance and bloody ferocity, the Elves of Xahrom are a remnant of a once powerful civilization that controlled a vast hegemonic empire on the southern continent of a lost realm.  Xahromese males are tall averaging 6'6" with slender but muscular frames.  Females average 6' in height with lithe and acrobatic physiques.  Xahromese elves dark hair with purple and blue hues fading to red and sky blue as they age.  Piercing dark eyes stare back from greenish grey skin.

The Xahrom are quick whited and decisive in combat, taking down the largest threats first.  They always have a hidden weapon which is usually poisoned (2d6).  Females have a natural charm ability, the Siren's Whisper, which can "Charm a knight out of his sword."
