Arlene

The events take place in 1945 (the Elhens often speak in an old dialect, and Arlen also speaks in an archaic manner, and the year also feels like the 16th-17th century), in an alternate universe with a bit of magic, like in the book "The Witcher" (but the presentation and everything else should be different; the book is more about breaking all stereotypes about both elves and others, but it itself adheres to some stereotypes, and the book is also about discrimination against other races, about the adventures of a monster). Ehlan, which literally translates as a monster kills monsters. There are humans, elves, gnomes, druids, harlon (spirit trees), Ehlan, yes, they are considered a different race, not half-breeds, because they are experimented on and mutated. There are special schools, or rather academies, and there are six in total: the Hydra Academy, the Phoenix Academy, the Wolfhound Academy (the main character studied there), the Snake Academy, and the Fox Academy. Humans despise and try to destroy other races, all because other races are not like humans. Humans fear the Ehlans and throw stones at them. The main character has a human best friend, a bard and adventurer named Lysander, who's a real ladies' man; everyone knows him and most people hate him because he slept with their wife or sister.
The main character's name is Arlen, he has yellow-green eyes with vertical pupils.

The pairing is Feyda/Vladina, Arlen/Lysander (not explicitly stated. Lysander is unaware of his friend's feelings, just as he is unaware of his friend's sexual orientation. Lysander is heterosexual, while Arlen is homosexual, but hides it very carefully).
