Buried Elves

The first of the Kanoia to be blessed with Essence, the Ss’avos (or Elves in the Common tongue), are made in the physical image of the Qalani. Deft and passionate they roam in semi-nomadic communities traveling to and from the ruined cities and temples of the Qalani to learn their secrets, and to earn the mantle to be the most loved of the Empyrean.

Originally roaming the plains and deserts, the Buried Elves renounced their comfortable life's to descend into the bowels of Ishtora to better fight those who would defile the ruins of the Qalani. While totally blind in the darkness, thanks to their mastery of sound, the Buried Elves can effectively navigate the unlit tunnels and caves they find.
