Elves

Elves were the first humanoid race created by the deity Iolatan beginning the First Age of the world Langraan. Their extreme longevity is their most distinguishing trait that seperates them from the other races and distinguishes the line of reasoning of a humanoid that can live up to ten times as long as most other races.

Dunkrasten

The dunkrasten and sünniken elves were once a single subrace of elves native to the Fertile Mantle. They were driven off by the masses of humans, that came to this fruitful region in the Second Age. The dunkrasten elves decided to retreat further north and eventually wandered, following their deity Keltoras, beneath the ground, where they fell under his manipulation. With the sacrifies of the deity Eydreen they were freed from his mad influence and resurfaced to the northwest of Andaria and created the kingdom of Dunkrast.

Rocelians

The first elven recordings speak of a catastrophic event of primordial attacks on elvenkind, in which the largest part of the elven kin was slaughtered and the elven race nearly went extinct. It is unsure what or rather who actually saved the elves, different scolars in different regions claim various truths, but it is rather safe to estimate that the Andarian Gods intervened in some way, although tardily. The elven civilisation or rather what was left of it, divided itself over the catastophy and the largest part actually decided to stop venering the Andarian Gods. The forefathers of the rocelian elves were part of the minority that continued to worship the Andarian Gods and because of the growing tensions between the contrarious groups, left in order to keep their rights of religious self-determination. The nowaday rocelians focus on the safety of their homeland and the deepening of their understanding of magic.

Sünniken

The sünniken elves decided to, instead of retreating further away, remain close to their homeland and fight the intruders back. They became guerilla fighters for many centuries until they were finally forced to further retreat. The primordial deity Shiv-Shar took them under its protection and guided them to a new homeland, where they regrouped, fortified and now with new strength battle their enemies of old, for they never forgot their lust for revenge.
