Planarblood Elf
Most elves have some obscure distant relation to fey, but planarblood elves stem their origins from elemental spirits of the inner planes. As gensai are to humans, planarblood elves are to elvenkind, with the power of the planes inside them. There is a planarblood elf for every plane, known as the firetongue (fire), forge (magma), marble (earth), bog (ooze), pearl (water), frostrime (ice), featherlight (air), stormchild (lightning), plus (positive), minus (negative), prismatic (light), diamond (crystal), nimbus (steam), noise (sound), ashen (ash), wasteland (dust), brine (salt), and void (vacuum) elves.
