Arborean Sun Elves
The Sun Elves are the beloved sons of Danu, the Goddess of Life and Nature. They are a very religious and militaristic people, strictly divided in hundreds of caste and battle orders. The Sun Elf are a very advanced people, with a magical knowledge that con be considered equal to that of the Phan. The Kingdom of Arborea, the heart of the Elf Kingdom was never conquered by the The Almighty Empire, and they have beat back each and every attack of the Imperial fleets.
Fair of complexion and with platinum to blonde-chestnut hair the true Sun elves possess an unearthly beauty, for they are the firstborn and favored child of Arva (goddess of beauty and the wind). Very long lived, they spend a lot of time in personal interest, studying magic is only one of their interest. The history of the Sun elf before the coming of the Phan it’s not clearly documented, but some documents report that the Sun elf existed before, in a forgotten age of technology.
Sun elves have a natural understand of magic and their society is pervaded by magic, very few items produced in the Kingdom of Arborea are not magical in some way. Their armed forces are a true marvel to behold when arrayed for war. Giant construct grab enemy flying ship from the sky to smash them, archer units that fire energy arrow and never end their ammunitions, Pegasi mounted cavalry and so on.
As their society is extremely ancient and static, they have evolved a strict regime of castes, with no or very rare possibility of advancement. All Sun Elf must spend the first 40 years of their life learning the basic of their multifaceted culture, and the next 50 as warrior, charged with the defense of the kingdom. After 90 years they are considered full members of the society, can marry and have children.
This ensures to have a stable and strong army and when needed all the members of the society are more than skilled in combat. Every different caste develop a different fighting style, some more effective than other, but all lethal.
There's no better beverage on Valenor than the Elven wine, suitable for the most discerning palates and with no intoxicating effect, is the showpiece of aristocratic banquets and official receptions.
The Elvish Levitationals are purely a creation of magic, in fact, the Sun Elves caste of Harbingers of Light achieves the objective of keeping a ship flying with object that emit beams of solid light underpinning the ship. At any time an Elf ship stand on a dozen or more “legs” made of solidified light, to move the crew shut off some beam, so technically the ship “fall” forward. Switching on new legs keep this process replicable ad infinitum.
Sun Elven Sails are masterpiece of magic art, made in secret by the elf caste of the Women-Butterflies, these are able to accumulate levitational energy to astoundig levels.
The Sun Elven warrior caste of the SpellSinger is able to deflect attacks before they reach their target, reducing damage caused to the ship.
