Akati is the umbrella term for the descendants of the ancient fey elves of the Feywild.
The akati can be either elven or half-elven in heritage, as they derive from the age of the divine way back in Avaleen's past. They are one of the blessed ancient races, meaning that this variant ages three times more slowly than their kin across the lands. Once at home in Ghor Minthra, they discovered the way to the Feywild where they settled. This elven branch was heavily influenced by the unnatural fey and evolved as such. As a society they are guided by Ayursha and Farachimo, with the rest of the old pantheon not far behind. As opposed to their darker cousins, the akati bathe in the light of the upper planes and are mostly welcomed in the world of Avaleen.
Appearance
Nowadays it is difficult to differentiate between an akati and someone from another race as they have mingled with the races of Avaleen for nearly 1000 years. As opposed to the illevan, the akati's transformation was more in character and abilities, rather than physical.Traits and abilities

Society
Is it possible for a society to exist without a hierarchy among its people? Someone will always lead, someone must always follow, someone’s limits will be much greater than someone else’s and someone will always push forward towards a change the rest of them are not ready for. And this is true of the akati as well. Though no one will ever, ever admit it. Neither in public nor private. To an outsider the akati is a true democratic raceTribes
Historically there are four tribes within the akati culture. Roya, Ignis, Aadam, Mora, and Triyes.Roya

Major Language Groups and Dialects
Akatian is a melodious language that takes influence from our Sanskrit, old Norse and Arabic. Each tribe has its own dialect, and while there is some form of mutual understanding most defer to the ignis-accent for intertribal communication. With Agartha now on the material plane most akati are effectively bilingual with common as well.
