Elezen

The Elezen are a race divided within themselves, and their often-arrogant attitudes keep the other races at an arm’s reach. The Wildwood live off the lush forests, using their keen eyes to hunt and gather in the dense woods seeking balance with the natural world. The Duskwights in contrast are notorious for their desire for power and control, mastering the manipulation of aether and weaving reality to their whim. The Burmecians were subjugated nearly a thousand years ago after losing the Dragonsong War to the Brood of Marduk, and since built a faith around serving the Great Wyrm and his brood.  

Elegance and Pride

Long legs, slender bodies, pointed ears and sharp features are all marks of an Elezen. Only rivaling their otherworld appearance is the poise with which they carry themselves. Their tall, thin frames only differ within the race by the color of their skin.  

Elezen Names

Both the Wildwood and Duskwight clans of Elezen spell their names very similarly. Men's names are longer and usually endin suffixes such as - loix, -aux, -mont, or -geant. A female's name will typically end in -ne, -ette, -elle, or -ie. Despite the similarity in their first names, the Elezen tribes over time claimed sur names for either side. These surnames will never cross clans, but only those who live within the race will know the difference.

These Elezen found themselves embroiled in a thousand year war with dragons, before eventually succumbing to them.
