Jetsef

Jetsef are a race of beings and a subrace of Elsefs. Known for their various shades of grey skin, they are native to Porica and Midrun, with a majority of their people living there. In common tongue, they are known as the Sun Baskers and Sunsef/Sunsevs.
== History ==
Evolving as a subrace of Elsefs, Jetsef were originally a group of Elsefs whom migrated from Auralon thousands of years ago to Porica and Midrun during the War for Ascendancy, led by the soon to become cultural "Saint Varothelmez". Jetsef lived in relative peace with their human neighbors, as well as the wandering tribes of Mahtsef, but came into conflict soon with The Naazcan Empire, which in its virgining state began to conquer all of Midrun. 
== Culture ==
Like Elsefs, Jetsef practice spiritual worship of the land, but due to the harsh environments of Porica and Midrun, adopted the practice of burning the bodies of their loved ones after death to use the augur of the spirit to survive, rubbing the ash of their ancestors on their body. Because of this practice, it is considered an honor to die for one's loved ones, particularity in combat and near death, Jetsef will encase themselves in fire magic, so that their allies and family may use their life energy to survive.
== Mythological Origin ==
In Jetsef religion and practices, their ashen skin was a blessing of pity from Amanareth (called Shahm) after witnessing the struggles of the pale skin the Elsefs experienced in the harsh sun. Taking pity on them, she ordered the prophet Viveer to bury himself in his ancestor's ashes, and after a day of prayer underneath the ashes, Viveer had died and come back to life, now stained grey from the ashes. With his stronger, more sun resistant skin, when he touched his fellow sefs, they gained the same skin as him, allowing them to prosper under the sun.
