Eeldra

"Foolish human, we are the children of the gods, we are to be the ones who will inherit this world, not you.......Your race had been given the opportunity to do so in the past but in the end, you humans only know how to destroy and spill bloodshed, you do not even know what is to come. in the near future...."
-Ellarian Neribella 
The Eeldra commonly referred as the "High Elves" and "High Elf" by the many other mortal races found on Athrunial, The Eeldra are the youngest sentient race on Athrunial yet are the most gifted in the art of manipulating energy that is best known as Magic. The Eeldra are widely considered the most influential and respected race on Athrunial despite their age due to the fact the Eeldra are capable of living for over one thousand years, have the highest potential of any mortal race to wield magic and live within a Utopian like society. 
The Eeldra of Ahisia are a proud nation of arguably the most skilled of warriors and magic users whom are noble and compassionate yet are extremely prideful in all what they do and consider themselves to far superior to the other mortal races on Athrunial due to the point of blind arrogance where other mortals are not permitted within Ahisia with few exceptions and they only reproduce with their own race. Such arrogance has made them distrustful by other mortal races and are often ignored all the together. To the Eeldra, this concerns them not since they widely believe since they are the children of the gods, is that they are to inherit the world for themselves and become the true protectors of Athrunial.
== Biology and appearance ==
=== Physiology and Diversity ===
Exterior wise, The Eeldra are remarkably similar to humans and Laetannians to the degree, one at first glance could mistake an Eeldra for a human however this is subtle differences. Eeldra are pale skinned with refined and beautiful features with long, pointed, far more developed ears than any other race, allowing them to pick up noises other race couldn't and can hear noises from much farther away from them than any other race. Eeldra are often generally taller and slimmer than humans and are far more long living than any other natural mortal race on Athrunial. Their bodies function in the same way as a regular human with a heart, lungs etc, however due to the Eeldra being the descendants of an Aeadra and a Demi-God, they have far more developed and resistant bodies, allowing them to live for over a thousand years and have the highest potential to wield magic and hold the largest amount of energy within one's body. Being the children of the Aeadra, a High Elf has the highest aptitude to learn Yang magic Although Eedra can't wield magic without significant amounts of training, they are so naturally gifted in the art, they require far less training to wield magic than other races. Of course since their bodies have adapted so well to the usage of magic and through countless generations abandoning manual labor like work for magical means, has made the Eeldra far more weak physically compared to a human and can be seriously wounded or even killed easier than a human. 
Along with longevity, acute hearing and having the highest potential to wield magic, Eeldra being the children of the Aeadra, have inherited their mindset to an extent, having a mind far superior to humans, they are able to feel all emotions much more strongly yet just as Laetannians, they are also able to suppress certain emotions in critical situations in an effort to avoid a mental breakdown or be corrupted. 
=== Life cycle and reproduction ===
As expected, Eeldra reproduce sexually in the same manner as the Aeadra and as the humans do however the gestation period lasts anywhere from ten to fifteenth years for a embryo to fully develop into an Eeldra infant. Once the infant is born, it will take twenty years for the infant to develop into a child and another twenty years for it to develop into an juvenile physically. An Eeldra isn't considered an adult physically and mentally until they reach the age of one hundred years of age.
The Eeldra, just as with the Laetannians, will instinctively only mate with those whom are the strongest and wisest of their race in hopes of making the next generation stronger. It is extremely rare for an Eeldra to mate with a human or other races due to their outlook on life and their purpose.
== Personality and Traits ==
By Humans and other races, The Eeldra are viewed in many ways, both in a positive and negative way. As with humans, No Eeldra is exactly the same however they are often viewed by others and themselves to be elegant and graceful with a mind to match with the noble of all intentions however since the Eeldra are the children of the Aeadra and a Demi-God, Eeldra come off as proudful, snobbish and arrogance which could be best their most defining trait. No matter the ranking of their birth, whether they be a peasant to the High Queen, all Eeldra will feel in some regard, feel they are superior to Humans and other races whom do not live long and consider such races as inferior to their own with few equals.
== Powers and abilities ==
Eeldra have the highest potential of all races on Athrunial to learn magic and use it to it's full potential and have a natural aptitude to learn Yang release magic far easier and be able to wield far more effectively than other races. Along with their magical abilities, they have far more developed ears, allowing them to hear noises other races cannot at lower frequencies and can hear noises from much more longer distances away. They also have the ability to feel emotions much more strongly than humans and can suppress certain emotions in certain situations. 
== Society and culture ==
The Eeldra live almost exclusively in Ahisia with the exceptions of a few settlements outside their borders or a few noble houses living within their own district of a city. Those whom live outside of Ahisia are seclusive and under normal circumstances will outright ignore the other races in their day to day lives. Whether they live within Ahisia or not, the Eeldra are tightly bound by their duties, their ancestral rituals and ceremonies and their worship of their gods. For an Eeldra to go against their traditions or heritage is considered the worst dishonor they can bring upon themselves and their family besides the dirtying their genetic bloodline with a normal mortal which is considered the worst dishonor and can only be redeemed normally in death or immediate exile.

== Sub-races ==
=== Ieldra ===
The Ieldra, commonly referred as Imperial Elves, Elves or as Standard Elves are Eeldra whom had mingled with humans for so long that the Eeldra are no longer Eeldra. These Elves have became almost identical to humans in appearance with the only exception is their Eeldra ears splitting them apart. The Ieldra no longer have everlasting lifespan of the Eeldra nor do they have the same potential in magic as the Eeldra however the Ieldra are far more durable than the Eeldra, roughly on par with baseline humans and still have a far higher potential in magic than humans and other mortal races.
=== Weldra ===
The Weldra refer to as the Wood Elves are Eeldra whom over countless generations have adapted to living in the wilderness and have became masters in the arts that come with such adaption. The Weldra are masters in archery,hunting, tracking and surviving off the land and navigating tough terrain as well as being the true masters of Nature Magic at the cost of not being able to learn elemental magic. While the Weldra are not long lived as the Eeldra, one is still capable of living up to nearly eight hundred years.
=== Deldra ===
The Deldra known simply as the Dark Elves are the descendants of the Eeldra whom followed Nerisatra and became the first Elves to be corrupted by demonic and dark energies. Such descendants are easy to distinguish in a crowd by their much deeper skin tones with dark brown being common with lighten skin tones akin to more orange in appearance are uncommon and dark pale skin is considered extremely rare. Same with their hair, Deldra often have light hair colors however black and brown hairstyles are common as well. Of course, the Deldra have the highest potential of all Elven races to learn dark magic at the cost of not being able to wield light magic. Since the Deldra have been corrupted by the dark energies, they have the shortest lifespan of any Elven race besides the Ieldra, leaving the average lifespan of a Deldra at only three hundred to four hundred years.
== Relics ==
== Notable Eeldra ==
=== Arroth ===
Is the name given to the Demi God of unknown origins whom battled the God of Death and Great Grand Father of the Eeldra, Le'usarith and defeated him in single combat. It is said before his battle with Le'usarith, Arroth married the Goddess, Yltera and had three children with her with the last one being Ahisia. Arroth's fate is unknown but it is widely believed by the Eeldra that Arroth will return during the End Times to save Athrunial from complete destruction from whatever threat that seeks the destruction of Athrunial or Yltera.
=== Yltera ===
Known as the "Goddess of Creation" to the Eeldra, Yltera was a Goddess of Aeadrain descendant whom fell in love in Arroth during the Dark Ages for his selfishness and bravery in battle and subsequently married him after Arroth had discovered her feeling towards him. Shortly after their marriage, it was said Yltera had three children, two being Aeadrain however the last child, Ahisia was different in the way she had mutated ears and her potential in magic was unrivaled by any whom lived. Yltera saw the potential in her daughter, Ahisia and trained her to be a beacon of light such as herself. It is said after Yltera had finished her daughter's training, Yltera returned to Aelthuan where she resumes to this day presumably. 
=== Ahisia ===
Commonly referred as the "Goddess of Fertility" and as "Mother of All", Ahisia is the youngest daughter of Yltera and Arroth whom was the first Eeldra in existence and is responsible for creating the Eeldra race and subsequently, it's civilizations.When the Age of Cinders began, Ahisia created her daughter, Ellarian to rule over her new found people and it's kingdom. When Ellarian was old enough to rule her people, Ahisia became the first Lady of Cinders when she felt the Eternal Flame beginning to weaken. 
=== Ellarian Neribella ===
Known as "Everqueen" to the world, Ellarian Is the Demi God daughter of the Ealdrain Goddess, Ahisia and is the current ruler, the Everqueen of the Eeldrain people. Ruling out from the ancient city of Ithuriel, Ellarian has ruled for nearly twelve hundred years and has protected the Eeldra from the many threats on Athrunial such as the Rominians, the Vyreadra and the Deldra.
=== Asteraoth ===
Known as the Eeldrain "God of War" for his god like martial powers in battle, Asteraoth is widely considered the strongest warrior by far to have ever lived during the Age of Cinders to the point, even the Grail Knights of Laetannia have acknowledged his strength. Asteraoth was originally the several hundred year old first born of the Everqueen, Ellarian Neribella whom was chosen since his birth to succeed her however before this could take place, Asteraoth died from his mortal wounds in 5E 870 after killing the Rominian King, Valkar in single combat, thus ending the War of Blood. During his time as a Eeldra, Asteraoth was considered a master of strategy and leading troops into battle besides being a master of battle, this was proven when he led a one hundred year campaign to drive out the Deldra out of Ahisia and into the Kraymvirk Wastes. After several decades of fighting, despite the disapproval of his mother, Asteraoth made an alliance with Laetannia and with the help of their Grail Knights, they were able to force the Deldra into fleeing to Neveroth. Following his final battle, Asteraoth was reborn as an Aeadra due to his deeds in his past life, he was chosen by Yltera to be her champion. Four hundred years later, Asteraoth appeared once more as a Serra Angel during the Second Storm of Darkness during the Battle of Thoronthyr. Just as the Eeldra and Laetannian forces were about to be routed, Asteraoth appeared from the sky and with the swings of his mighty blade, destroyed the Vyreadra and Deadra forces single handily, it was even said Asteraoth had killed two Greater Demons, Azernar and Najlax during the battle. Since the Battle of Thoronthyr, Asteraoth has been worshiped as a God of War.
=== Helevyre ===
Known as the Priestess of the Gods", Helevyre is the Everpriestess of the Eeldrain pantheon and is one of three daughters of of the Everqueen, Ellarian Neribella. Unlike her sisters, Helevyre does not bother herself with the duties of the court due to her position as the Everpriestess, as a result, little known about her,
=== Nerisatra ===
Known as the "Great Betrayer of Ahisia" and as the "Queen of Corruption", Nerisata is responsible for the creation of the Deldra and is the supreme ruler of Neveroth and the Deldra as a hold. She was originally one of the three daughters of the Everqueen, Everqueen, Ellarian Neribella whom was groomed to take her mother's place If her brother, Asteraoth died or for some reason was unable to rule. Unfortunately her jealously for her brother's future rise to power became too much as she began to scheme to take the throne from her brother. She eventually became so twisted and power hungry, she made a deal with a mysterious Greater Demon named Zellyla, in change for offering her soul to their master, she would become corrupted and bound to her new master but she would gain incredible, dark like power she could use to take the throne for herself. Despite her new power however, she alone on her own was still did not possess the strong necessary to take the throne, for that she would need an army and a massive one at that. Due to that very reason, Nerisata continued her duty to her mother to bide her time as she began scheming in secret and beginning her corruption of those in high power and those whom were powerful in battle. After sixty four years of planning, Nerisata had put her plan into action during the Eeldra's council of Lords where all the nobles of Ashisia mee with the Everqueen to determine their course of action to take about the Vyreadra. During the great council, Nerisata performed a massive spell of great darkness over the entire city of Ithuriel, corrupting thousands of those whom called it home and killed those whom were too weak to be corrupted, almost the entire council of Lords had either became corrupted or died due to the dark power of the Queen of Corruption however her mother was spared from such a fate since her two siblings, Quileth and Helevyre were able to erect a great sphere of holy energy to protect themselves and their mother.
Although Nerisata had failed in killing her mother due to her siblings, Nerisata had still achieved her objectives for the most part, removing those whom held power and in the process, gained many followers she could use for her agenda. As a result, Ithuriel was razed and those whom weren't corrupted were slaughtered like animals however before Nerisata could attempt to kill her mother and siblings, Nerisata was forced to flee the remains of Ithuriel when her elder brother, Asteraoth was approaching the city, leading Ithuriel's army whom had been returning from a minor campaign against the greenskins. When Asteraoth returned, he was forced to kill almost the entire populace of Ilthuriel due to Nerisata corrupting the entire city. After Asteraoth cleansed the city and reunited with his mother and siblings, it would take nearly a year for the Everqueen and Asteraoth to reorganize Ashisia once again for the newly formed threat made by Nerisata due to the death of so many nobles in one full swoop.Since the reorganization took so long to put in place, in that time, Nerisata and her followers whom began calling themselves the Deldra, managed to turn countless Eeldra cities to her cause, to turn against the Everqueen or out right destroyed them with the corruption of dark magic, soon enough the end result was a full blown civil war. The End result was a two hundred and forty year war that nearly destroyed Ashisie as a whole which would eventually lead to the death/disappearance of the Everqueen's loyal children. In 5E 560, Nerisatra led her forces during the massive siege of Maroth in an effort to gain a footing in eastern Ahisia however to Nerisatra disbelief. her closest sister, Quileth appeared before her and forced Nerisatra to do battle with her in one final clash between two powerful sorceresses. Both displayed incredible masteries of magic yet in the end, it was Nerisatra whom came out victorious after their long battle yet despite Quileth being at her mercy, Nerisatra could not bring herself to kill her sister whom she considered her the only family that had ever truly cared for her but she knew she couldn't allow Quileth to return to her mother and her other siblings so she decided to grant her a mercy only a dark user would think of. Using her mastery of the dark arts, Nerisatra corrupted Quileth's body to that of an eight legged monstrosity while keeping her mind the same as it was before mostly. Once Quileth had saw what she had became, what she had sworn to destroy, Quileth temporary lost her sanity and fled Maroth and it's few remaining defenders to their fate. Without Quileth to lead and aid them in battle, Maroth's defenders were eliminated with ease and Maroth fell to Nerisatra's forces shortly afterwards which which would become a staging area for the Deldra to continue their battle for Ashisia. 
Despite Nerisatra's early advantage in the war, eventually Nerisatra and her forces were pushed out of Ashisia and into the Kyraymvirk wastes by her elder sibling, Asteraoth and his forces during his one hundred campaign to eliminate her. Nerisatra was a skilled tactician and leader amongst her people however even she paled in comparison to her elder brother whom was widely considered a Demi-God of warfare. Over that period of one hundred years, Asteraoth was constantly able to outmaneuver Nerisatra's forces but despite the cunning of Asteraoth, he lacked the numbers his younger sister had whom employed a large amount of the undead and deadra of various Deadrain Pantheon at her disposal. Astereraoth had no choice but to find aid for their war for unification If he had ever wanted to win. After looking for so long, Asteraoth made an Alliance with Laetannia after he witnessed one of Lendira's greatest warriors of light, a Grail Knight do battle with a Greater Deadra. With the might of Laetannia's Grail Knights behind him, Asteraoth and his forces were able to smash through Nerisatra's forces through a number of key engagements and through another ten year campaign, he was nearly able to drive the Deldra to near extinction, forcing Nerisatra to flee from Ahisia and across the Kraymvirk Wastes to a land called Nerveroth. Since that time, Nerisatra has saved her people from certain extinction and has built herself a massive corrupted empire, filled with cities of the dead and citadels that reign high in the air with herself at the top as the Deldra's supreme leader. 
=== Quileth ===
Known as the "Forgotten Daughter" and as the "Goddess of Healing and Hope' to the Eeldra, Quileth was Originally an Eeldra, Quileth was the forgotten daughter of the Everqueen, Ellarian Neribella and siblings to Nerisatra, Helevyre and Asteraoth before being transformed into the first Arachdra by her sister, Nerisatra. Not much is known of Quileth about her life. What was most known about Quileth was her personality, that she was soft spoken, kind hearted, polite and caring for those she held close but made her gullible and native. Along with her personality, she was noted to have been born with average physical and magical abilities, this made her, in the eyes of her mother as unsuitable for ruling or one in power, as a result, Quileth was almost outright ignored in favor of her siblings whom showed far higher potential in leading and conducting war. Still, despite being ignored by her mother, Quileth grew close to her siblings, especially Nerisatra whom became her own true friend since her elder brother never had the time to spend with her and Helevyre was like their mother, choosing to outright ignore her as If she didn't exist. Since Quileth's mother decided against educating her own daughter, Nerisatra took it upon herself to begin teaching Quileth in the art of Yang Release magic and after some time under intensive training, Nerisatra was caught completely off guard when she discovered the sheer amount of potential Quileth held in her fingertips with Yang Release magic. Within a short period of time, Quileth became incredibly skilled with Yang Release magic, so much so, she became even more proficient than her siblings and was said to rival her own mother in raw potential. It was only after this, did her mother take notice of her forgotten daughter and after witnessing her ability to heal hundreds of people, did she made Quileth a Priestess under Helevyre's supervision. Unfortunately Quileth did not get to enjoy her position for very long when the Great Corruption occurred and the War of Thrones began shortly afterwards. 
Quileth initially refused to believe her sister, Nerisatra had been corrupted somehow however after witnessing her corrupt thousands upon thousands of innocents, Quileth took it upon herself and herself alone to either redeem or kill her beloved sister no matter. Unlike Helevyre, Quileth left the safety of the capital despite the disapproval of her siblings and mother and entered the battlefield as a holy sorceress to the Eeldrain forces, using her newly acquired power to heal the wounded and dying. Quileth spent many years under her brother, Asteraoth's command, resulting in the two becoming incredibly close however due to Quileth's never ending drive to find their sibling, Nerisatra and redeem her, Quileth often went against her brother's wishes, running off ahead of their forces to confront Nerisatra if she was in the area, this would eventually lead to her presumed death. In 5E 560, when Quileth heard of her sister's appearance at Maroth, Quileth rushed ahead of the main force that wasn't prepared for the coming battle and entered the city of Maroth before taking command and waiting for her sister and her forces to arrive. When the Deldra began assaulting the city, Quileth led Eeldra of Maroth in defense of their city, proving herself to be an able leader in the face of overwhelming odds however as soon Nerisatra made herself present on the battlefield, Quileth immediately abandoned her post and made her way to Nerisatra where she initially tried to persuade her sister to come back to her and her family and repent for her crimes but to anvil. Quleth attempts only resulted in a very emotion duel with both not willing to back down yet either wanted to kill each other. The result was a lengthy and intensive duel but in the end, it was Nerisatra whom had Quileth at her mercy. She couldn't bring herself to kill her own sister due to the close relationship they had shared when they were younger yet Nerisatra knew she couldn't allow her sister to roam free anymore with the power she held at her fingertips so Nerisatra did the next best thing. Harnessing all the Yin Release magic she could from her body and from her followers, she used such corrupting power to turn the beautiful sorceress that was her sister into a deformed monstrosity, the first Arachdra on Athrunial yet Nerisatra didn't her mind. Of course being defeated by her sister, being turned into a monstrosity and becoming something she and her people had been fighting against temporary drove Quileth over the edge, driving her insane. Being overwhelmed by so many different thoughts, Nerisatra allowed Quileth to flee the battle so she and her forces could capture Maroth. It was said after Quileth had fled the battle, she had presumably committed suicide out of becoming the ultimate shame for her people since she was never seen again however some Eeldra believe she is still alive and using her holy magic to heal those whom prey for her aid.
