The cultural description is mostly in Shanel's discription. I'll make a more general one when I'm less lazy.

Lycian Elves
Lycian Elves are a proud race that avoids civilization. Many people view them as barbaric or savage, but in fact they tend to be very noble and have a developed code of honor.

Personality: Lycian elves as a whole are proud almost to a fault. They will go to great lenghts to prove their abilities in an area, especially tracking. Infact, many Lycian elves begin adventuring because of where their hunt leads them. They will carry a grudge to the grave, but even among evil Lycians, betrayl is very rare. However, they tend to be very gruff to anyone not of their race untill they prove themselves.

Physical Description: Lycians are shorter than most elves, though less slender, usually between 4 feet to 5 feet, occasionaly reaching 5 and a half. However, they are very tightly muscled, weighing in around 110 - 145 pounds. They are covered in a thin, light gray fur that looks like skin unless touched, similar in coloration to that of wolves, and their hair is usually white or gray or black. They always have golden eyes that reflect light more than most humanoids would. Their ears also have a distinctly canine apperance.

Their clothing is simple and often well worn, clothes suited for a simple life outdoors. They have the elvish fine features and grace, but offset that with a sense of strenght most elves just cannot match. They reach adulthood at 65 and can leave to around 500, making them shorter lived than most elves.

Relations: Any race that prefers life in the city to life in the wild is regarded by distrust by Lycian elves, but on a whole they judge members of a race by indivudual merit, not by overall sterotypes. Rangers and Druids of almost any race are viewed highly by Lycian elves. They dispise gnolls, however, and a Lycian pack will go out of their way to hunt down an gnoll pack.

Alignment: Lycians are free loving, and each is encouraged to find his own code of honor of form his own pack if need be, so they tend towards chaos. However, they are not of any particular alignment on the good-evil axis, though many are neutral in that regard.

Lycian Lands/Society: Lycians have no set lands. Their "lands are wherever the pack hunts. They tend to avoid any city by at least twenty miles. There is almost never any trace a lycian elf pack has passed through a land - they never waste any part of it, and almost never leave a permant mark on a place, beleving such things are wrong.

Lycians run in packs of usually 25 adults and that many pups, or children. One Lycian is the Alpha, male or female. The Alpha is chosen in a highly ritualized combat that never results in death and very rarely in bloodshed. However, the defeated combatant always leaves the Lycians and lives alone, avoiding other Lycians, untill his or her death. Even among evil Lycians, defeat in the battle of leadership results in this.

Religion: Virtually all Lycians worship Vosilliol, the Lycian god of the hunt. A select few worship Corellon Larethian, but those tend to be viewed as domesticated by the majority of Lycians. Some Lycians also worship other nature gods and hunt gods. Erythnul is sometimes worshiped by evil Lycians.

Language: Lycians speak a rough, barking dialect of Elven and also can speak Wolvish, the language spoken by intelligent wolves and werewolves.

Names: Lycian names tend to follow a somewhat rougher form of other elven names. They do not name their family, instead, they name their pack.

[Shanel Maelinial]

Arachin elves are a race spawned from Drow that have taken on a culture of their own. Originally born from Matron Mothers as a sign of Lloths favor, the Arachin elves began to breed on their own and have formed an elite race that works within drow culture.

Personality: Arachin elves are intelligent, cruel, capricous, and arrogant. They view all other races, except drow, as lesser races fit only to serve the glory of Lloth through them. A very few Arachin elves turn away from this path and try to find acceptance, but that is very, very rare.

Physical Description: Arachins stand taller than most elves, som reaching a heigh of six feet, and the shortest rarely less than five feet. They are completely bald, and their eyes are wholly black and seem to glimmer - they are actually the compound eyes of an insect. Their skin is the same ebony color of the drow. The thing that makes them stand out the most, though, is the fact they have four highly flexible arms. They tend to dress in the fasion of the drow, and their lifespans are also similar to their ancestors.

Relations: Arachins get along well with drow and, oddly, driders, but fare poorly in dealing with other creatures, whom they generally view with an air of distaste and contempt. They dispise all other elves with an unconcealed passion.

Alignment: Arachins call themselves the children of Lloth, a diety of chaos and evil. Even those Arachins that have avoided the evil aspects of their heritage lean very strongly to chaos, and the evil ones delight in mayhem for its own sake.

Arachins Lands/Society: Where there are drow, there will be Arachins. They have not formed their own cities yet, and they live inside the drow social structure, molding to it perfectly. They believe it is Lloth's will that society work that way, and Lloth's will is what must be done.

Religion: All evil Arachins worship Lloth, and even the neutral ones tend to worship her. Good aligned ones are most likely to worship the drow goddess of dance (again, an unspellable for me name) than any other goddess. The Gods and Goddess of the Elvish pantheon would often reject them out of hand for the abominations they are in their eyes.

Language: Arachins speak drow and their own unique language. They can also converse with intelligent arachnids.

Names: Arachins names follow the Drow naming tradition.

Stats:
+6 Str, +4 Dex, + 2 Int, -4 Wis, -4 Cha - Arachins are unnaturally strong and fast, not to mention intelligent, but are very rash and arrogant to an extreme.
Drow Traits: Besides where noted here, Arachin elves have all the traits of the Drow elves.
Multipile limbs: Arachin elves can take Multiweapon fighting as a feat.
Climbers: Arachin elves have a continual spider climb effect with a range of self in place as per the spell cast by a caster equal to the Arachins Character level.
Revered: Arachins receive a +6 racial bonus on bluff, intimidate, and diplomacy checks when dealing with worshippers of Lloth.
Spell Like Abilities 3/day - speak with animals (spider-like creatures only, duration 1 miniute.) this is in addition to the drow spell like abilities.
Automatic Languages: Undercommon, Arachin, and Elvin (Drow). Bonus languages: Draconic, Abyssal, Infernal, Drow Sign, Spider, Goblin, Orc, Gnome, Dwarvish
Favored Class: Females: Cleirc. Males: Fighter

[Barath'Daubre]

Dracia Elves were elves born from a long ago union between an elf tribe and the family of silver dragons that lived not far from their borders. Through years of breeding, a new elvin races has emerged, with more than traces of draconic blood in their veins.

Dracia Elves are noble, proud, and benevolent. They form strong family ties, and are loyal to each other. Very few turn to evil, and those that do are not shunned, but instead rehabilitiated, so they will turn from evil. These Dracia often become strong defenders of goodness and justice, though many of them still leave their home, not wanting to burden their families with their presences.

Physical Description: Dracia elves stand an average of five feet, six inches, and weigh in at an average of a hundred and seventy pounds, their weight added to by the fact that they have large, silver wings, like those of a Silver Dragon. Their hands and feet end in sharp, repillian talons that are nonetheless able to wield weapons as well as any other humanoid. Their skin is covered in glossy, silver scales, and their eyes are unmistakibly reptillian. Their hair is often literally golden or a brass color.

Relations: Dracia elves are on good terms with most all goodly elvin races, and, of course, with Silver Dragons and other Metallic Dragons. They often work together in harmony with goodly dragons, especally to conteract the actions of Chromatic or other evil dragons. Of course, that has earned them the emnimity of those races, as well as the drow, who hate them for being surface elves.

Alignment: Dracia elves are vary rarely anything but good, and their elvish heritage gives them a strong leaning to chaos. That doesn't mean Evil or Lawful Dracia Elves don't exist, just that they are rare. Lawful Dracia elves are more common than Evil ones, however.

Lands/Society: Dracia elves live in isolated communities, usually in mountious areas that are very difficult to reach for those without the ability to fly. However, they favor mountians near other elvin communities over lands near other humanoids, and mountians that house good aligned dragon lairs are near sacred to them.

Religion: Dracia Elvin society has one major split: Which pantheon to worship. An equal number worship the Platinum Dragon as those that worship the Elvin Pantheon. However, the disagreements over which gods to worship don't cause too much conflict, merely long, philosopical debates that are never allowed to interfear with conflict against evil dragons and evil elves.

Language: Dracia Elves speak Draconic and Elven.

Stats: +6 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Con, +2 Wis, +4 Int, + 2 Cha

Dracia Elves have two claw attacks for 1d6, that follow the normal rules for claw attacks. While making a full attack while airborn, a Dracia elf character may make an additional two attacks with its rear claws at it's full base attack bonus, with a - 5 penalty as if also attacking with a weapon.

+ 10 natural armor bonus
Dracia Elves recieve a +4 bonus on Bluff, Sense Motive, Diplomacy, and Gather Information checks when interacting with Metallic or Good-Aligned Dragons.
A Dracia Elf casts spells as a sorcerer 1/3 it's ECL, rounding down. If the Dracia elf takes level in sorcerer, add this to its sorcerer levels only for determining spells per day, number of spells known, and caster level. (So a 3 level Dracia sorcerer would cast spells as a 4 level sorcerer, but it's familiar would be treated as a familiar for a 3rd level sorcerer)
