Deathless

The Deathless (also sometimes called the Undying) are creatures - Aereni Elves almost exclusively - that are no longer alive but continue to have an existence sustained by the essence of Irian and the devotion of the living. Deathless are similar in many respects to traditional undead, but unlike undead, deathless are typically good creatures sustained by positive emotions and energy, whereas most undead are sustained by negative emotions and energy from the plane of Mabar. While this energy preserves the spirit, it does not preserve the body, and so most deathless appear as decayed corpses that give off bright light.
The majority of known deathless live among the elves of Aerenal in the city of Shae Mordai and are known collectively as the Undying Court. Together these Deathless have a unified memory to rival even the oldest of dragons, and their plots and machinations to steer the destiny of the Aereni can take hundreds of years to bear fruit.

Over the course of centuries, this august, noble organization has started to become something of a "good-old-boys" network. The older Deathless uphold their ancient ideals, but some of the newer additions are (to borrow Tyding's descriptor) "nincompoops."
