Arctic Elves:

These elves were born and raised in the frozen lands of the far north or south, and have dealt with freezing deserts, nights that last for weeks, and the horrors that roam the cold terrain. Arctic elves share many physical features with their elven cousins. They are uniquely pale-skinned, and most have white hair that matches their snow-coated homelands, and prefer blue and silver clothing.

They are generally good-hearted but cold and unyielding and do not like intruders. Peaceful travellers can usually pass through theirterritory unharmed, but often have to pay a toll when doing so. Some claim that they are nomadic demon-worshipping cannibals who can freeze a man's blood with a glance; however, these traits are false, spawned from tall tales in absence of contact with the rest of the world. Their xenophobia has been attributed to a great betrayal in the past. Mistrust of outsiders runs deep enough that they guard even their names from revelation for fear of drawing bad luck. Snow elves consider it rude to ask for their names without sharing one's own name first, and in response to outsiders, they share cryptic sobriquets such as “Daughter of Twilight” or “Sunset's Blood” in place of their true ancestral names.
