“Or an elf, or even half-elf,” added the tall representative of the Elder Race, his arm still wrapped around the toque-wearing beauty. “You even consider quarter-elves inferior—”

Blood of Elves

In Northern Kingdoms, the term quarter-elf^[1]^[2] or rarely quadroon^[3]^[4] refers to a person who has one quarter elven blood (whose parents are either one human and one half-elf, or two quarter-elves). Only the pickiest about race consider them nonhuman.

Notable quarter-elves

Trivia

In Polish, aside from "ćwierćelf" (literally "quarter-elf"), Sapkowski sometimes uses the word "kwarteron", which translates as "quadroon", a word lifted from actual history, part of a hypodescent vocabulary developed to distinguish levels of either African or Australian Aboriginal ancestry, which is now considered offensive. However, likely because of the real-world connotations, the word was left out of the English translation of the books by David French. Term "quadroon" was also sometimes used in the English products from CD Projekt's The Witcher franchise.
