Kylven

Kylven are a variation of the Elven race, the result of offspring between Drows and Feyans. They’ve always existed in Ludwagian kingdoms, but never were in positions of power of their own.

## Anatomy

Kylven originate from a mix between Drows and Feyans, and as such, they appear to inherit characteristics from both ethnicities. Usually speaking, Kylvens tend to have darker skin tones than Feyans along with more “normal” hair colors such as brown or black. Their eyes remain cat-like, with their eyesight remaining a mixture of both their parents’. For example, a Kylven could have better darkvision provided they have more Drow blood in them.

Unlike their Drow-Feyan counterparts, Half-Electi do not have darker feyan skin. They are instead born with a darker, more yellow complexion from their Electi heritage. However like their Half-drow cousins, they do inherit 'normal' hair. Essentially like Drow-Feyans, they have muddled features from both of their parents, appearing different and similar in certain aspects comparably. Kylven rules and characteristics apply to Half-Electi.

## Psychology

Often seen as “Half-Feyan” in Sylvic society or “Half-Drow” in Aridam, Kylven don’t have a sense of belonging, and often feel little attachment to their home.  They remain intelligent like other Elves but do not share the same pride others of their kin have. Kylvens are also known for travelling across continents or kingdoms by pure wanderlust. They take great interest in archeology, cartography, and jobs that keep them outside of urban civilization.

Due to the environment Half-Electi are born into, most of them are still treated with respect among Rao. Leading most Half-Electi to stay within the faction as a whole to aid in it's endeavors. This leads them to Half-Electi being rare even when they are quite numerous, due to a large number of them staying within the Rao faction or south lugwag entirely. If somebody decided to travel into the Rao outpost, or into south lugwag, they would find a lot of Half-Electi within Rao's territory. They are more craftsmen, merchants, etc rather than travelers who have no home. Unlike their Drow-Feyan opposites, they find themselves at home within civilization and the outdoors alike (particularly the jungle).

## History

The Kylven have existed for as long as the Elven race has, and can be found anywhere throughout Ludwag. During the reign of Pyros, some Kylven moved away to the deserts while others remained in their lands, those who stayed were often frowned upon after the great Drow exile. Some have attempted to create independent communities of their own. However, none of them prospered due to lack of support from either Drow or Feyan nations. Their race has had an easier time integrating into Human societies, with most of its members found in the kingdom of Latteras or among the Nix.

Half-Electi (Specifically Rao-Electi) have only sprung up since the mass exodus of the Electi, being forced to flee into the south where they've found solace and asylum from the Rao. There Half-Electi began to appear in more numbers, like the Drow-Feyans they have never set up an independent nation of their own. On the contrary through, Half-Electi have never felt the need to move from their birthplace. They find themselves comfortable within the arms of the Rao, unlike Drow-Feyans who travel and settle within the borders of monic nations.
