High Elf

"High Elf refers to the first sapient creation of the god Anima. Legends say that when Anima first conceived of the idea of a "soul" the image of an elf appeared before her, and so she bore them of nothing, and gave them a dominion in the astral sea. The divine homeland, Arvandor, sprang into being."
—An excerpt from "Sun Walkers, a Grand History of High Elves" by Inathah of Morant, Master Scribe of Tor Coram

High elves are one of the earliest creations of the godmother, Anima. Though the myth that they were her first creation is unproveable and highly contested amongst scholars of Arxios.
