It is said their origins lie when the world was new, and a barbaric tribe of elves cross-bred with an unusually civilized band of trolls.</p>
<p>Tarolli skin can be any shade of green, from a chalky pastel green to a dark viridian like a leaf on a moonless night. They have tusks jutting from the corners of their mouths and long, lanky limbs. Tarollis frequently ornament themselves with piercings of bone or precious metals.</p>
<p>Tarolli warriors are feared in battle for, like the trolls they&#8217;re said to derive from, tarollis heal quite rapidly</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://www.encounteraday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/bloodelvessots.jpg' title='Blood Elves'><img src='http://www.encounteraday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/bloodelvessots.thumbnail.jpg' alt='Blood Elves' align=right></a>Blood Elves, or Sin&#8217;dorei (meaning &#8220;Children of the Blood&#8221; in their native Thalassian tongue), are a somewhat tragic race. Like the other Azerothian elves, the sin&#8217;dorei have suffered from an addiction to magic. It&#8217;s hit them particularly hard, though, and with the loss of their Sunwell they have resorted to dark and fel magics to get their fix.</p>
<p>As a result, blood elves are largely mistrusted or despised, with some exceptions. It&#8217;s true that many of their numbers fall fully into madness from their arcane addiction. These elves truly deserve their sobriquet of &#8220;The Wretched,&#8221; for truly they are wretched creatures. Rather than trying to resist, they give themselves fully to the hunt for magical energy, and will risk anything and stop at nothing to sate their thirst for it.</p>
<p>Still, at least as many of the blood elves take pains to hold back their addiction. To these strong ones, the idea of becoming one of the wretched is a fate worse than death. Alone or together, it is every blood elf&#8217;s goal to find a cure for their race&#8217;s affliction.</p>
<p>For a much more indepth description of blood elves, see their entry on <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Blood_Elf">WoWWiki</a>.</p>

<b>Average Weight:</b> 120-170 lbs.</p>
<p><b>Ability Scores:</b> +2 Charisma, +2 Dexterity<br />
<b>Size:</b> Medium<br />
<b>Speed:</b> 6 squares<br />
<b>Vision:</b> Low-light</p>
<p><b>Languages:</b> Common, Thalassian<br />
<b>Skill Bonuses:</b> +2 Arcana, +2 History</p>
<p><b>Magical Addiction:</b> Every day, you must absorb magical energy or suffer the effects of withdrawal. You may absorb the magical energy in one of the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sacrifice a daily spell whose level is within 10 of your own.</li>
<li>Have someone else sacrifice such a spell on your behalf.</li>
<li>Drink the blood of an immortal, aberrant or elemental creature. The blood may not be more than a week old.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you fail to absorb magical energy on some day, you take a -1 penalty to your will defense and lose one healing surge. The penalty and amount of healing surges lost double each consecutive day you fail to feed your addiction.</p>
<p><b>Spell Mastery:</b> You gain a +1 racial bonus on all attack rolls with spells.</p>
<p><b>Arcane Torrent:</b> You can use <i>Arcane Torrent</i> as an encounter power.</p>
