Physical Characteristics

Build: Thin and graceful.

Coloring: The Teleri are clearly a part of the lands they love. They have skin of light brown - often with dapples of forest greens. Their eyes and hair both also are varying shades of greens and browns.

Endurance: Average normally - high when in natural surrounds.

Height: As with all of the Second Children the Teleri are fairly similar in appearance. Particularly when they are young. They are the tallest of the elven races with a starting height of 5'8" +/- 3". There is no differance between male and female Teleri. Again in keeping with the nature of the Second Children they continue growing over their entire lives. Elder members of the Elven races are rarely encountered but when they are the age they carry is apparent to all. Note that this aspect of the Elven races is known to very few on Whent. It is the younger members of these races who serve as messengers, ambassadors, traders and the like and all of the elven races are happy to maintain that ignorance. (For gaming purposes the Teleri grow 1" every 10th of their age rounded up. E.g., if they begin at age 70 they add one inch to their height when they reach age 77, another inch when they reach age 85, another when they reach age 94, 103, 113, 124, etc.)

Lifespan: 1,100 to 1,900. Teleri consider 70 to be the age of majority and will generally allow young Teleri to act independantly after reaching this age. As with all of the long lived races there are still a number of levels of adulthood - each with their own duties, responsibilities and advantages. While 70 is the age of majority (and the starting age of Teleri adventurers) they would certainly have no authority over any other being and would not have access to any of the secret knowledge or history of the Allarin.

Special Abilities: The Teleri are also naturally and very strongly attuned to the element of Nature - the combination of the four basic elements in balance. They are also particularly susceptible to damage from death magics/effects and ferrus metals. (Note: The Teleri commonly harvest a special sap which they have learned to harden and use to craft weapons and armor. Such items are uniformly of very high quality and are used in place of the metal items that other races typically use for these purposes.)
