S'hynraiu

The S'hynraiu or Sun Guard as they are known in common tongue are an order of elven Paladins and clerics devoted to harnessing the power of light and using it to defeat the powers of evil. 
==History  ==
The origins of the sun guard emerged in the year -7,000 CY when new forms of magic began to resonate among Elves across the region. These new forums eventually led to the creation of distinct factions which rivaled the arcane heigharcy of elven society. While the other two factions were cast out from normal society and eventually went into exile, the followers of light magic were the exception and eventually integrated into a fixture of elven culture. The pracitioners of this new magic became skilled healers and warriors who founded their own orders of protection which served as a third protection class for the elven people along side the rangers and arcane spellcasters. A number of orders of Paladins and Knights were created that specalized in light magic and unlike most rangers and spellcasters these orders were indepedent from the rule of the ___ government and operated individually. 
The largest of these new orders became what is today known as the S'hynraiu.
