Lore interlude text: No one knows the exact origin of how elves came to be, but every elf will tell you with copious amounts of pride exactly what they are. Elves are mortal nature-spirit hybrids that are the most common species in the wider Nexus space. This is partially due to their long natural life span (with the average lifespan being around 700), but also because magic is more accessible to them. Making things like long-lasting magical artifacts, arcane constructs, and most importantly, dimensional travel a bit easier. While they are what we would call humanoid with pointed ears, due to their spirit-half their size and complexion change depending on where they are born. Most elves are on the shorter side with the average elf being around 1.4m (or 4ft 5in), but can reach up to 1.82m (6ft) or as short as 1.1m (3ft 7in), with ocean elves on the taller side while forest elves tend to be shorter. Their diverse skintones are all technicolor in nature with blue, green, red just some examples of what you may find regularly. Most elves are a part of a wider internexus empire called the Harmonious Elven Confederacy, a collection of small cities, kingdoms, and empires headed by a god-queen, who is chosen from any noble house in the empire in a VERY high-stakes royal election.

These elves lean a bit into more early modern than medieval but you'll see all types of weird anachronisms in the wider multiverse
