Elthiirian

Banished long ago to the Deepholme, the subterranean land beneath the continent of Palmydia, the Elthiirians are a reclusive race with great contempt for surface-dwellers. Often trained from birth as assassins, other races are typically apprehensive of their presence, particularly at night.

The expansive kingdom of Deepholme is inhabited by the Elthiirian Elves. They are the descendants of elves that moved underground due to their discovery of rich and vast resources, solidifying trade agreements with the ancient dwarven people.They depend on no one save themselves, and trust no power other than their own.
Once a grand matriarchal society, a recent revolution has changed the politics and landscape of their society. They are now ruled by the Prime’arch family, Draa'Velven, who passes down its benevolent blessings, and sometimes its harsh judgment, upon the other royal families of Deepholme. Although they appear to be more open to mending the relationships with all of the races on the surface, mending will take time. Even when appearing to do good, many believe they are using those they come across as tools to accomplish their own goals. While some Elthiirian's welcome this change and truly want to improve relationships with the surface, this new paradigm has made their kind more deadly than ever.
