Elves

Elves are capricious by nature, and few rules control their long lives. They are fond of circle dancing, parties, singing and games and are most likely to be discovered when engaged in one of these activities. Sometimes, for fun, fairies will attract people to dance with them or try a little of the food. In both cases, human beings will lose all time and be caught unless saved. Elves are governed by regional monarchies where a queen has greater authority than a king. The monarchs lead mounted parades on May, Midsummer, and November Eve. There are four different types of elves on Everas.

## History of the Elves

After the war, when the elves came back into their forest homes, most of it was destroyed and burned to the ground. Most of the elves began working to rebuild their city, but there were those who felt cheated and wronged. They argued with the chief that they wanted to separate themselves and only deal with their own elven affairs. This led to a tribe of elves leaving the forests and finding an island in the south to build their new city called Celestia.

Once on the Island, their troubles began. After building their grand city from stone, they lived a semi-normal life. But after about 100 years, arguments on which who the new leader should be sprung out and the elves divided yet again. Those who wanted a strict and powerful leadership were known as the sun elves and the ones who wanted a laid back and carefree lifestyle were known as the moon elves. They left their great city of Celestia and went on opposite sides of the island to live and prosper, leaving the once grand metropolis to ruin.

On the eastern side, the sun elves tried to recreate Celestia, but with more structure and fortified buildings so that if any war ever happened again, they would be prepared. They decided to name their city Solas Natu, which meant “a Nation of Suns” in their native tongue. Currently, the Sun Lord is Rokan and the next in line is his son, Sun Prince Xenen.

The western coast is home to the moon elves in their village of Lunika. With their Chief O’aka Nultide relaxed beliefs and laws, most of the moon elves were happier than their brothers and sisters of the sun elves tribe.

## Types of Elves

* The **Sun elves** are the most proper elves in all of Everas. They value knowledge, leadership, power, and industry. They produce more valiant warriors and skilled mages.

* The **Moon elves** are a more laid-back, carefree tribe. Their morals lie with the changing of the tides and tend to put off work until the last minute. Rouges and rangers are more akin to these elves. They live in the village of Lunika meaning “Of the Moon” on the western coast of the island.

* **Wood elves** are among the most in touch with the creatures that roam this realm and are very keen to protect them. Their home is called Hollowroot and is made from the roots to the tree tops with bridges and stairways made out of vines and planks to help them get from one place to another. Being keen on the aspects of life and death, the elves here act as guardians to the portal to the Everplane; a realm hung between the living and the dead.

* **Dark elves** are the most elite and pompous of them all. Hiding in the shadows of underground caverns and shady port towns, dark elves, or the rather negative term, Drow, are the most secretive and recluse of all the races in Everas. Dealings with black magic and evil spirits, most dark elves keep to themselves and pride themselves on being the most elite race on the planet. They guard the portal to the Neverplane.
