Homebrew Aelves of the Mortal Realms Species Details
The Aelves are ancient and proud, their souls once stolen and devoured by the Dark God Slaanesh. When the mortal realms were born anew, the Aelven gods, Tyrion, Teclis, Malerion, and Morathi, drew them back from the god’s gullet, reshaping their peoples into new forms.
Now, Aelves thrive across the realms, from the radiant lands of Hysh to the shadowed mists of Ulgu, the ocean depths of Idoneth enclaves, and the blood-soaked temples of Khaine. Though their cultures differ wildly, all Aelves share a deep connection to magic, grace in body and mind, and the eternal struggle between arrogance and enlightenment.
Their lives are long, their memories longer, and their passions burn fierce, whether as scholars, warriors, mystics, or assassins.
