Well, that's a very good question, and there are many theories as to why elves live such long lives. Some say it's because we're born from the earth and share its enduring spirit. Others believe it's due to our strong connection to nature and its healing energies. And still, others think it's simply because we're blessed with magical powers that protect us from the ravages of time. Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: elves have a unique relationship with nature that gives them a special longevity.
