Primordials

## Primordial Eladrin

Eladrin Lord

**Eladrin** were the most powerful subrace of elves who adopted the Astral Realm as their home, often referred to as the "Primordials" they were the Prime Race that shared the World; Iskander-Koth. After centuries of exposure to that plane's magic, they acquired supernatural abilities not seen on most of their kin from the Prime Material plane and were effectively transformed into Celestials. Sometimes called "Noble Elves", they were capable of changing their physical appearance and powers according to their mood, assuming characteristics of the seasons.

## Description

Eladrin were similar to high elves yet varied so vastly due to their Astral Mutation that they were sometimes said to be more than elves, It was common for their eyes to shine, giving away their connection to the magic of the Astral Plane. Their hair and skin colours changed to reflect their moods, which could each be identified to a particular season of the year. How frequently eladrin changed their appearance was an individual choice. Some eladrin spent their entire lives in the same season or followed the seasons of the place where they lived, while others could change as frequently as once per day.

Based on the usage of Magic and the more frequent usage of Magic, Eladrin notably changed in appearance, heavy usage of Magic may result in their eyes flaring up like shining lights, their hair turning white or veins of purple tendrils forming along their skin, whilst this may seem disconcerting most of it seems harmless to them and passes with time.

## Abilities

Most Eladrin were capable of teleporting over small distances. They could briefly step into the Astral Plane and shorten travel distances between two points, effectively instantly traveling short distances, Some high elves, through diligent study, could also learn to use the same abilities.

Before the First Sundering, Emperor Iskander sought to harness the power of the Primordial Eladrin as the eldest and most powerful of them held the ability to twist and travel through time and space themselves.

During the times of the Interstice, these Abilities were lost.

## Personality

Like their physical appearance and their powers, the impulsiveness and intensity of eladrin caused them to wildly change their personality depending on the season to which their emotional state felt closest.

* Eladrin in the spring state were joyful and playful, fond of mischief and playing pranks on other creatures. They were often oblivious to the dangers of doing so.
* In the summer state, which they entered when angered, eladrin became aggressive, vindictive, and furious.
* In the autumn state, fey eladrin assumed the role of conciliators, eager to resolve conflicts and to promote peace. They were also more compassionate and ready to help others and to alleviate their suffering.
* In the winter state, eladrin became bitter and pensive. They often cried frozen tears and irradiated a feeling of gloom that could be felt like a cold wind.

Despite these variations, all eladrin shared many common traits, such as the respect for personal freedom, Honor and the wish to be remembered. Incapable of showing love in great amounts, they yearn to noticed, cherished yet lack the ability to tell another.

## Combat

In all states, eladrin were proficient combatants who excelled at the longsword and longbow, they abstained from needless bloodshed and always fought on the defensive unless provoked.

## Society

Eladrin found themselves more strongly connected with the Astral Plane than most Elves,.There, their cities displayed extraordinary feats of elven architecture, blending magic, nature, and structures into awe-inspiring landscapes, some of which were designed to exist in and out of the Astral Plane, travelling between planes along with their inhabitants. The culture of eladrin civilization was older than any other elven culture.

Primordial Invernian Elves are a derivative of Primordial Eladrin and with it one of the major Creator Races, with the Second Sundering, most if not all Primordial Invernians are assumed extinct.

## History

The eladrin were originally elves who found refuge in the Astral Plane when they were cast out from Iskander-Koth by Emperor Iskander after his confrontation with the Gods. Unlike other elves, who then decided to move on to the Material plane, the eladrin chose to remain in the Astral Plane and adopt it as their home. Centuries of exposure to the wild magic of the Astral Plane changed those elves, imbuing them with the flexible and mutable nature of the plane, turning them into eladrin.

While some eladrin managed to remain humanoids despite these transformations and only acquired some additional supernatural abilities, most were completely altered by the plane, changing into celestial creatures.
