The Elves

Kings of all the Cosmos

The Elves, they say, are perfect creatures created in their God’s own image. It was they who introduced law and magick to the world following the Madness of mankind’s reign in Kaena. Taller, smarter, and more beautiful than the other races it was clear to the first Elves that it should fall to them to rule the entire world. Though often seen as haughty and narcissistic by other races, most Elves are charming, loving people who only wish to safeguard what they see as the lower races.

Though they are now subjects of the Imperium Vulcanalia, there are many Elves in the world who feel their proper place is not as the serf, but as the master. In the Imperium some elves are taken to be slaves for the aristocracy, which is seen as the ultimate humiliation and punishment for the proud race.

The great King of the Elves, Anshan Ahurazun, is still revered by all races of the world more than two millennia after his death. He was at once a wise and generous king, a powerful and undefeated warrior, a learned scholar and unequaled sorcerer, a poet and philosopher, it is said that no creature born before or since has been Anshan’s equal.
