=====Usprian Elves=====
Usprian elves, native to regions of [[Aurora]] that are today part of [[South Staynes]], [[Rosalica]], and [[Valerica]], are largely similar in physical features to other groups of elves, but have vastly extended lifespans. The average lifespan is around 200 with the longest recorded lifespan being an elf who lived to the age of 243, from 1775 to 2018. Gene mutations linked to DNA repair that increased resistance to aging and cancer as being responsible for Usprian elves longer lifespans. Reproduction also occurs at a remarkably slow pace with couples only able to have children every 60 to 70 years, allowing for couples to have at most two children, rarely three.
Usprian elves, along with Z'rei and Az'ra elves, have tetrachromatic vision which gives them a greater depth of color perception and at times allows their vision to dip into the ultraviolet range. Although they have the ability of long life, Usprian elves are also considered to be less physically resilient compared to other species of Urth. Usprian elves tend to be more prone to physical injuries and at times more vulnerable to diseases and illnesses. Despite their slow reproduction and rapid population decline following the conquering of [[Valeria]] by the Kingdom of Staynes in the 13th century, Usprian elves make up a significant portion of the remaining indigenous elves on Aurora.
