Snow Elf
Snow elves are much like their southern brethren. They make their home within nature, building grand cities of ice on the tops of distant mountaintops, only rarely leaving them to visit the outside world. They have no special resistance to the cold, but their cities and magic protects them. One of their few differences is their eyes and hair, both white as the snow surrounding them.
