Princedom of Emenore
Emenore is a princedom of great beauty, inhabited by a diverse array of elves. These subraces include the High Elves, in their wondrous metropolitan cities, Wood Elves in their magical forests they swear to protect, and the Star Elves in their temples and observatories in both glade and city alike. The princedom is named after its first high prince, an elf of legendary wisdom and insight who united the disparate elven tribes of the land into a single, powerful princedom.
Despite their differences in appearance and culture, the various subraces of elves in Emenore generally get along well with one another. The High Elves, with their love of art, science, and learning, are the most visible and influential of the elven subraces, and they make up the bulk of the princedom's leadership and cultural elite.
The Wood Elves, on the other hand, are the most numerous of the elven subraces, and they have long been associated with the forests and woodlands that cover much of Emenore's landscape. They are skilled hunters and trackers, and many of them have developed powerful magic that allows them to communicate with the spirits of the natural world. Surprisingly few Wood Elves are resentful of the High Elf rule of the princedom. They enjoy a great deal of autonomy in their forests, and many of them are disinterested in politics entirely.
The Star Elves are a more mysterious and reclusive group, and they are said to possess great knowledge of the stars and the cosmos. They live in observatories and temples scattered throughout the princedom, and they are known for their deep wisdom and insight.
The princedom of Emenore is also known for its impressive magical prowess, with many of its citizens being skilled in the arcane arts. In fact, the princedom is home to some of the most renowned wizards and sorcerers in all of Magvel. The High Elves, in particular, are famous for their mastery of magic and their ability to create incredible works of art and architecture using enchanted materials.
In addition to their magical abilities, the elves of Emenore are also skilled warriors and defenders of their realm. The Wood Elves are especially skilled at guerrilla warfare and hit-and-run tactics, using their knowledge of the forest to outmaneuver and outwit their foes. The High Elves, on the other hand, are known for their impressive fortresses and magical defences, which have kept the princedom safe from external threats for centuries.
Emenore is also a hub of trade and commerce, with its capital city serving as a major center for the exchange of goods and ideas. The elves of the princedom are skilled craftsmen and artisans, creating exquisite works of art and intricate enchanted objects that are highly sought after throughout the region.
Despite their differences, the elves of Emenore are united by a deep reverence for the natural world and a strong commitment to preserving the ancient wisdom and traditions of their people. They are a proud and noble race, and they are known throughout Magvel for their skill in magic, their graceful artistry, and their unwavering commitment to their people and their land.
Culture
Common Dress Code
Clothing is a form of expression, one that can easily be manipulated through colour and cut, depth, and type. Elves often invest a great deal of time, effort, and money into their appearance, even those that live outside of the high society.Foods & Cuisine
Elves tend to enjoy food that focuses on extensive preparation combined with very fresh and often raw ingredients, and that is best eaten in a sort of prolonged ritual. Therefore, an elf dish might involve rice that was soaked in aromatic herbs and slow-cooked at a simmer with fresh greens and peppers, aged or dried ingredients such as forest mushrooms or seaweed, fermented sauces, combined with raw fish, fresh vegetables, served in a series of small dishes. When you eat with elves, the intended flavor profile of a dish might require that you first sip from a bowl of herbal broth, dip a slice of fish in a fermented sauce, and follow a bite of said fish with rice mixed with finely chopped strong greens and vegetables, but if you eat it as intended, it maybe well be one of the most satisfying experiences of your life.Beauty Ideals
Their general lack of natural blemishes and high metabolism grant them favor in the eyes of many. Their youth is retained as they age, granting them an almost immortal aesthetic as they move through the ages with poise, only showing signs of their years in the later parts of their life. Generally speaking, they are quite comfortable with their bodies and will wear clothes to accentuate their form, from tight leathers made to not restrict their bounding strides, to high fashion dresses meant for socialites
