Elves are a long-lived race and have a lifespan of around 750 years. They mature relatively quickly, reaching adulthood by the age of 100. However, they continue to age gracefully and slowly, with most elves maintaining a youthful appearance and vibrant energy well into their 500s. Their aging process is also marked by a gradual loss of magic, with many elves becoming less powerful as they grow older. Some elves may choose to undergo a special ritual to preserve their magic and maintain their youth, but this is rare and requires a significant sacrifice.
