Myzelis    Aethrin (Standard)      Elf, High

Elf, High

With their unearthly grace and fine features, elves appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.
Elves’ coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. Elves have no facial and little body hair. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry.
High elves often have hair of silver-white, black, or blue, but various shades of blond, brown, and red are not uncommon. Their eyes are blue or green and flecked with gold.

"The following communities are known to the people of Myzelis and recorded in the Journals of Eblin. Realms not listed here have no known populations of these Aethrin large enough to list as communities in their own right."

Gylidder High Elves

Archons of Hachar: the greatest concentration of High Elves in Gylidd live in Zhen Ishraihadasha, where worship of the ancient Hacharwyddic pantheon - the triune of Calelis, Kethisarqueya, and Tahlisal - is commonplace. The city's founding traces back to a schism at the end of the Hacharwyddic empire between the High Elves (who revered Tahlisal as the greatest of the three) and the Wood Elves (who revered Calelis as the greatest of the three), around the year 33,179 BAI. This resulted resulted in the migration of the high elven population of Hynfaol north to the Effluvian Jungle, where the high elves created a new city worthy of their sun god. Although the two species have become far less segregated over time as their contentious history slipped into fabled legends, most high elves from Gylidd still draw their lineage from Zhen Ishraihadasha. The leader of the high elves at one time was synonymous with the high priest of Tahlisal, but in light of that god's departure into darker methods, once a century the Zheni now elect their leader from among their greatest political minds. Lenithrion sil Bofa - a high elf cleric of Kethisarqueya - is their current speaker, at the head of a conclave of twelve district representatives.
