What are 'high elves' in the world of Everquest?
High elves in Everquest are similar to the other elf races, like the half-elves and the dark elves.

The more earthy and nature like wood elves went one direction, and the more refined and intelligent high elves went in a different direction. They built a great city made of marble on their continent. They study magic, they have paladins, they have warriors, they have clerics, and a variety of other noble and powerful races. One of the feature characters and most important in our storylines since the beginning is Firiona Vie who tends to be on the box cover of most of our games.
