Background:

High Elves, or Koada'Dal, are the fair-skinned creation of Tunare, Goddess of Growth. Tall and slender, high elves embody elegance and culture. The Koada'Dal appreciate art and design, surrounding themselves with examples of their artistic and intellectual superiority. Their home city of Felwithe with pristine stone and marble buildings are a fine example of this. Above all else, high elves are an orderly and disciplined people. Their mortal enemies are the Dark Elves who embrace Hate, the antithesis of all that Tunare is.

High elves see themselves as the chosen Elves of Tunare and their benevolent, condescending treatment of other good races show a well developed sense of egotism. To them, their wood elf cousins exist chiefly to do their bidding, and most other good races are merely tolerated. Evil races are beneath them and worthy only of a quick and efficient death.

Faith:

High elves worship Tunare, the Mother of All. Even though she has apparently withdrawn from Norrath, they believe that she will return and help her chosen children regain their ancestral home. Koada'Dal templars and paladins remain devoted to Tunare's teachings.
