What would elves from Africa look like? Elves are elegant, androgynous and have a deep connection with nature.
Elves as we know them like tree designs and leaves and flowing capes and lyres and bows...
What about Africa? Would they be desert based? Savannah? Jungle?
What sort of design would they put on their stuff? What hair would they have? Long, straight and flowing seems wrong. Would they sculpt it like the ancient Rwandese or Yetsang? Braid it like Ethiopeans? Something different entirely?
What weapons would they carry? What clothes?
Elves are unusually pale. Is that true for african elves? Are they unusually black instead?
Be creative. Invent the African elf.
