Grey Elves are at once the most noble and most reclusive of the elves. They have withdrawn from the world after making their mark, which was to ensure that the world was well on the path of goodness. They view themselves the protectors of good in the world, but rarely come to the assistance of the "lesser" races. 
The Grey Elves are taller and more slender than the other elves. They typically got silver hair and amber eyes. Somewhat rarer are those grey elves with pale golden hair and violet eyes. These elves are often known as faerie and are the elves that first made contact with humans. They garb themselves in wool tunics of gold, silver, white or yellow. Over these, they wear cloaks of dark blue or purple. When armed for battle, they wear shimmering suits of plate or chain mail, Winged helmets and shining masterfully crafted swords. The elegant bearing and pure beauty of the Grey Elves make them almost
appear as supernatural creatures. The Grey Elves revere the sanctity of elven blood. They consider themselves the purest form of all elves, even tho they are an offshoot of the original High Elf line. Grey Elves hide the entrances to their mountain meadows with powerful magics to keep any non-elves from finding them.
    The society of the Grey Elves is among the most rigidly defined in any world. They are ruled by a hereditary who can be succeeded by any of the other Royal House members. This is subject to approval by the Noble House members. Beneath these two Houses are the Merchant Houses, the House Protector and the Servitor Houses.

They are fair skinned, close to the color of cream. There are two different major variations in hair and eye color. One is blond haired with blue eyes. The other dark hair and intense green eyes.

Drow are elven, no matter who would like to deny this fact. The most notable feature of drow is their black skin, and pale (most usually white) hair. Drow on average are rarely more then five feet in height. Male drow weigh between 80 and 110 pounds, and females weigh between 95 and 120. They are typically elven in appearance, other then their color. They have long delicate fingers, pointed ears, and almond-shaped eyes.
    Drow live underground, in caverns and such known as the Underdark and are ruled by the female. The men are considered weak and live in virtual slavery.The hierarchy of every drow culture and house is: 1st Matron Mother, 2nd Priestesses, 3rd Weapon Master, 4th House Wizard, 5th Lizard Riders, 6th Male Drow Soldiers.
    The craftmanship of the Dark Elves is truly a marvel to behold, wrought with strange and intricate designs. Unfortunately, their works are unable to exist out in the sunny surface world.
    They have a rigidly structured and divided society led by the priestesses of Lloth. Social stata and classification is virtually immutable. A drow can advance within his/her own caste, but not beyond it. The chaotic nature of the dark elves is most evident when one seeks advancement, an advancement typically made through death. They seek to improve their status in Lloth's eyes. If it comes on expense of someone else's lives, so much the better, it is one less challenger later. Dark Elves have an abiding hatred of all things aboveground, especially the good elves.
The Drow will take any chance they can to destroy other elves they encounter.

The Drow fight from the shadows attacking their prey or will engage when it will be almost an assured and crushing defeat. Most of the Drows' weapons are poisoned with a poison that allows them to take prisoners for sacrifice and torture.

Poison (Ex)

An opponent hit by a drow’s poisoned weapon must succeed on a DC 13 Fortitude save or fall unconscious. After 1 minute, the subject must succeed on another DC 13 Fortitude save or remain unconscious for 2d4 hours. A typical drow carries 1d4-1 doses of drow knockout poison. Drow typically coat arrows and crossbow bolts with this poison, but it can also be applied to a melee weapon. Note that drow have no special ability to apply poison without risking being poisoned themselves. Since this poison is not a magical effect, drow and other elves are susceptible to it.

        The Avariel Elven race is one of the more reclusive than the rest of their cousins when they choose to be unseen. Most  think of the Avariel as angels or celestials upon first experience. Celestials and Guardinals are different, however, even those  that bear a similar semblance, and Outsiders are not openly involved with the evolution of the Avariel lineage, so it is said. Most avariels spout 10 to 12 foot wing spans.Avariel are truly elven, said to be the children of the air goddess.All have marble white skin (which does not burn in the sun), white or black hair and most any eye color. The avariel's tend to be from 5 foot to 6 1/2 feet in height and from 80-120 lb. weight accordingly because of their wings and bone structure, which  allows them to fly.
        In the history there have been a few avariel who have had unusual hair color, like auburn, not many are found and is are very     rare. Because of their hair color, their wings are often the same color. The avariel race does practice the dying of their wing               tips or whole wings, to different colors.
   Avariels live in cities that are nearly impossible to access except through flight. These cities are built of stone but like everything the     elves build are stunningly beautiful but are open to the sky. The avariel suffer from claustrophobia and fear tight enclose spaces. 
There are two big types within Avariel society.
    Much of their society is based on the warrior code of honor, seeking greater glory for themselves and their allies. Their lives are geared around war and battle, and they answer to their war-chiefs. These Avariel are greatly feared by humanoid nations. They have little of their landbound cousins respect for life, and live for the destruction of their enemies. They are proud and hearty and form eternal friendships with those who earn their trust.
    The other half of the Winged Elves' society know little of war. These Avariel has dedicated themselves to arts and intellectual aspects of life. They rely solely on diplomatic skills and brains to get by. They are great and popular artists and philosophers, creating for the sheer joy of creation.
    Strangely enough, the two parts of the Avariel society are completely harmonious. Both respect each other greatly, and trade the young in cultural exchange programs. This leads them to become well balanced elves. After a few decades of living amongst the others, most of the young return to live the rest of their lives with their origins.
    The Winged Elves are particularly religious, but do not try to preach their beliefs. They almost exclusively worship Aerdrie Faenya, the Elven Goddess of Air and Weather.

Because Avariels fly they are unable to use bows or swords effectively. They rely on  their flight  to stay out of range of those on the ground and use nets and spears to combat flighted opponents. When fighting  a large group they will take out the spell casters first because fire damages their wings and make them unable to fly.
