Half elf

Half elves are born when an elf and a human mix. While minor discrimination is faced from humans, half elves do not truly have any problems fitting in with their human heritage. Elves, in a similar manner to elven half-orcs, have pity for them, which often drives them away from their elven tribes.

Half eves tend to serve the Fiends.

Powerful humans, weak elves
Half elves lie in a unique situation in Vatainian society. While Vatain is a militaristic government, charisma still plays a part. Half elves, being naturally charismatic, naturally have an advantage. This charisma paired with their longevity grants them the ability to amass power in a variety of fields, whether militaristic, entrepreneurial, or another venture.

In the Vatain military, half elves will almost always become an officer, an ambassador, or another position of leadership. In fact, ~90% of half elves who join the Vatain military are granted leadership positions within their first year of service.

This power shifts in elven society. Tribal, with great value being placed on age, half elves are almost comically disregarded for any responsibilities in a tribe. Given that elves do not reach mental maturity for a century, elves tend to treat half elves as children, driving them away through their predispositions. While a half elf can live long enough to be considered an adult, the true roles of responsibility are kept away from them, guarded by elves and tieflings of 400 years of age or more.
