Elves were quite diverse in their own right, but they still tended to live in isolation according to their subtypes. Iri explained that there were dark elves, snow elves, and wood elves, in addition to the more commonly known ordinary elves. Despite these various subtypes, the elves often segregated themselves, living separately due to even their small differences.
The ordinary elves, who were the most prevalent and influential, saw themselves as superior to the other subtypes. This sense of superiority led to a lack of integration among the different elven groups, each preferring to stay within their own communities. The dark elves, snow elves, and wood elves each had their unique cultures and traditions, which were respected within their groups but not as much by the ordinary elves.
