Welcome
Dune Elves in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Homebrew
Dune Elves
Often mistaken for nomads, the dune elves live
conflicted lives. They are fond of other races,
but a number of raids on their ancient cities
for their gold, jewels, or even tomes on
illusions has left them distrusting of outsiders.
A typical Dune Elf is wary of strangers, but not
unfriendly, preferring to take advantage of
their long lives to get to know their companions personally.
As such, many Dune Elf settlements have used the illusory
magic of the desert to conceal their territories. When
happening upon a city or settlement, explorers often see little
more than a blur in the distance. Although they often employ
the use of illusion spells, those that live among dune elves say
they are far from duplicitous, claiming them to be fast and
honest friends.
Dune elves have skin that ranges from a sandy tan to a
deep reddish-brown. Their hair is often a dark brown but can
be black, braided to avoid desert winds and sandstorms. The
oldest dune elves living in the desert can be distinguished by
their sun-bleached white hair. Their eyes are golden, brown,
or red.

age:
Although Dune elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.

Due to the time amongst harsh climates and harsher people, they tend to be neutral, though due to their strong sense of community, often good.
