Dark Elf

Dark Elves live in Noctum Tamire. Noctum Tamire, sometimes called The Nation of Tame Nights, is a militant nation with a strong standing military and culturally ingrained military discipline. They are not as diplomatic as the other nations, which has led to a phrase for being stubborn being ‘Talking Tamire’. The people there largely specialize in light and shadow magic, as well as beautiful glass designs and gothic styles. They control much of the eastern coast of Drayanum, and aspire to expand into The Harmony Coalition. There is a martial hierarchy, but with strong Artisanal culture. Military and artisanal jobs are well respected. They worship three main gods other than the main three: Tanet, Zelel, and Phenax. They view most other races and nations as inferior, especially the harmony coalition. However they do see Demi-gods as holy. Relations have been improving slightly between nations since Heir Apparent Bamnahe took control. Their main exports are jewelry, weapons, and quarried stone, while their main imports are raw materials from oculus and slaves and food from Pantaka. The current Emperor is Emperor Suliter Yizur, bamnahes Father, 3rd of the Yizur line, he is only around 60 years old. He Became emperor at 30. There is also Heir apparent Bamnahe, High marshal of the royal army. As well as Duchess Narandi Yizur, Bamnahe’s sister. She names head of the estate the Yizur hold as royal lands. Finally there is Prince Leandis Yizur, the youngest of the Yizur line. He is to take Bamnahe’s title of High marshal when Bamnahe takes the throne after his fathers death.

Greenspan Elves

The Pantre Kingdom is a kingdom almost entirely inhabited by Greenspan elves. Almost all of it appears undeveloped, marked by forests, rivers, and plains. The occasional city, town, or stronghold marks its location. However this is simply a distraction. The largest cities are built and hidden within the broad forests. Because of this they are very secretive of their capital locations with outsiders. They are cautious because of the elven civil unrest, as they have tried to make peace before only to be stabbed in the back. They excel in exotic spices and crops, and have begun exporting these to the outer world fairly recently. However they do still heavily live off the land, making them vulnerable to poisoned rivers and raging fires. Their god structure is The Serenity Garden, which keeps anyone who is inside it alive. This is hidden as well. Greenspan has a surprisingly high literacy rate, especially given the apparent lack of a grand library like all the other races have. They worship Dellynor for her music and harvest. They are a close knit community with rapid forms of communication through plant roots. They love music, and the majority of them are hunters, farmers, or bards. They live in and around trees, so their architecture mimics that. They have no known grand structures. Even the chief’s hut is fairly plain. They sometimes have to import building materials such as metal and finer fabrics though. A child gets their last name from what their parents are. For example, the son of a farmer named June would be Farmerson or Juneson.

Groundborn Elf

The Terros Kingdom is a powerful kingdom known for their connection to the earth and their powerful weapons. They are industrial, producing an astounding amount of products. Part of this is due to their culture and their magic. Working is seen as a virtue beyond all else, so even children are employed in shops to work and make products. This is all seen as for the good of the country as a whole. Another result of this is that they are second only to The Garner Barony in how widespread enchantment technology is. They live largely in underground caves or caverns, so they have little architecture. They view the other kingdoms as lazy and backwards for their views, although they have started to shift in that view. The nobles live above ground though, in large earthen castles and territories that can be seen from miles away in some cases. These fortresses are heavily fortified against attack. They inhabit the western border of the Sunflare Empire and spread all the way to the eastern edge of the Sapnar Empire. The nobility is heavily fractured and while there is a proper ruler, each noble holds a lot of power in their own way, so appeasing them is important. In addition to the main three gods, they worship Sapphet and Tanet. They export primarily weapons, and import food and crops, as a good deal of their land has been poisoned by their own mining.

Moonray Elf

The Oculus Empire is heavily magically gifted and is known for being rather diplomatic. They are the most religious of the elven nations, holding more ceremonies and festivals for their gods than others. However they often are closed off and reserved, and the culture is to not depend on others and not show your pain. They are gifted in water and ice magic, although academic magic is also quite widely practiced. They lay claim to part of the Eastern Drayanum coast near The Roof Mountains, and border along Noctum Tamire. Oculus is an Egalitarian society where both spouses are equal to one another. It’s very typical to see women in high positions of power within the military, government, and production industries (especially royals) with men typically being diplomats, merchants, and scholars. When married, whichever spouse is higher on the hierarchy’s last name is taken. In addition to the main three, Oculus traditionally worships Jacquelyn, Aethra, and Muriel. They view the other elven kingdoms as inferior rivals and the different human kingdoms as even less. They aren’t the most fond of the Harmony Isles though that opinion is subject to change. They see demi-humans as inferior, however Rentars are welcome and seen as holy. Since the recent expansion of trade, they’ve started to import silks and spices from the Sunflares, Quarried stone and Fine Jewelry from Noctum, Crops and Livestock from Pantre, along with refined metals and weaponry from Terros. They export raw materials like wood and unrefined steel along with certain crops/meats which include cotton, fish, glass, and kelp. Their architectural style consists of a fluid mixture of baroque and victorian. The crown within the royal lineage is typically passed down to the first son with any elder daughters being put into the military to serve as the son is taught diplomacy. The most recent case of this being Princess Gwenivere and Princess Meredith becoming the General and High Advisor respectively. After their passing the role was given to another noble, but when Princess Meredith was found she was granted the title of Duchess and given control over the estates and royal land as she was still not able to be considered for Queen.

Sunfire Elf

The Sunflare Empire is home to the Sunfire elves, A proud and stubborn people. Their element is fire so naturally their architecture and clothing are typically in the warmer color range: golds, reds, oranges, yellows, creams and tans. It is mostly in a trade wind desert region so naturally the capital, along with other smaller towns or farms are located along the Ka-hol River. However, this desert makes a swift transition to a lush, green, wet and humid patch of land where they grow high grade spices which is their main export, along with what they are most well known for. Recently they have begun engaging in trade with the other elven kingdoms. The Style of architecture is very flowy and open, houses typically made from mud and sun dried brick though the Palace at the capital is made of stone. The bulbous dome is a very loved and Iconic shape in architecture and a similar shape but in a 2D perspective can be found in entryways and arches everywhere. Their god structure is the sun forge, which reveals truth and purges evil from those around it. They worship the god of the sun, Sanreque. The sunflare empire is ruled by Emperor Ravi Amin Lambros and his empress, Aabah Kanan Lambros. In this culture it is typical for the emperor to have consorts in addition to his empress, which is true for the current king. He has six wives including the empress. As you can imagine because of this he has had a lot of children totaling in at about 16, 2 boys and 14 girls.
