[[File:Lord-Elthenar.jpg|left|thumb|502x502px]]The Elves are peerless warriors, skilled with bow, sword and spear, and their mastery of magic is beyond compare. Elves are highly disciplined and utterly deadly. Garbed in exquisite, glittering armour that is at once light and flexible, yet stronger and more resistant to damage than the heaviest of human-made plate mail, they march swiftly and silently to war at their king’s behest. Few can stand against the Elves, and none who threaten their ancestral homelands can expect any clemency or mercy. | [[File:Lord-Elthenar.jpg|left|thumb|502x502px]]The Elves are peerless warriors, skilled with bow, sword and spear, and their mastery of magic is beyond compare.

They once boasted the greatest mage who ever lived, [[Calisor Fenulian]], but by forging the [[Fenulian Mirror]], he shattered the [[Celestians]] themselves. In the wake of the [[The God War|God War]], the Elves became a broken people. Time and again, they have been stuck by betrayal and catastrophe, some of which have affected the other races of Pannithor. Most recently, [[Mhorgoth|Mhorgoth the Faceless]], the greatest necromancer of all time, was unwittingly unleashed upon the world after being educated in the ways of magic by the elves… a mistake they will not rush to repeat. | ||
Though their lofty pride remains, the elves are a fractured and bitter race. Winter’s Flood slew half their race in an instant. Those that remain have split into several fractured Kindreds, each with their own customs and prejudices. | Though their lofty pride remains, the elves are a fractured and bitter race.

The Northern Kindred claim to be the most powerful Kindred, counting [[Mage-Queen Laraentha]], the figure head of the elven people, among their number. In addition, the [[Twilight Glades]] and the capital [[Ileuthar]], sacred realms to the [[Elven]] Kindreds, lie within their borders. | The Northern Kindred claim to be the most powerful Kindred, counting [[Laraentha Silverbranch|Mage-Queen Laraentha]], the figure head of the elven people, among their number.

The Sea Kindred broke from the Western Kindred when Winter’s Flood swallowed their lands. They now control the finest navy in Pannithor and bear elven goods and trade across the world. | The Sea Kindred broke from the Western Kindred when Winter’s Flood swallowed their lands.

The Dragon Kindred hold the one remaining blessing of [[Calisor]], a friendship with dragons. Only those of the Dragon Kindred may bond a dragon, granting this Kindred power disproportionate to their numbers. | The Dragon Kindred hold the one remaining blessing of [[Calisor Fenulian|Calisor]], a friendship with dragons.

Within the [[Mouth of Leith]] lurk the cruel [[Twilight Kin|Twilight Kindred]]. Favouring underhanded tactics such assassination and poisoning, they seek to return one day from the dark and conquer all of elven kind. | Within the [[Mouth of Leith]] lurk the cruel [[Twilight Kin|Twilight Kindred]].

Though not a proper Kindred, a small contingent of elves have set up in the Winterlands under the rule of [[Talannar Icekin|Prince Talannar Icekin]], the exiled son of King Tyris. His frozen city of [[Chill]] has gathered all sorts of distasteful races to it, though what Icekin plans remains unknown. | Though not a proper Kindred, a small contingent of elves have set up in the Winterlands under the rule of [[Talannar Icekin|Prince Talannar Icekin]], the exiled son of King Tyris.

Believing that the elves originated in the forests, the [[Sylvan Kin|Sylvan]] have sworn themselves to the service of the [[Green Lady]], at least in her capacity as a Shining One. Despite their split allegiance, the [[Mage-Queen Laraentha]] counts many Sylvan amongst her closest confidantes. | Believing that the elves originated in the forests, the [[Sylvan Kin|Sylvan]] have sworn themselves to the service of the [[The Green Lady|Green Lady]], at least in her capacity as a Shining One.

Truly, the elves are a broken people. Only in their city of [[Ileuthar]] do they come together as one. All the Kindred are welcome and old grievances are set aside. No blade may be drawn or spell cast. With tensions between the elves rising ever higher, however, one must question how long till the conflict breaches Ileuthar’s walls. | Truly, the elves are a broken people.
