Sunspark
The Sunspark are a race resembling elves whose forms shift with the cycles of Ayinel's twin suns, Ayin and Yesh. Unlike traditional elves who attune to the seasons, the Sunspark are in constant flux, embodying the ever-changing nature of their environment. They are deeply connected to the celestial bodies and derive their strength and vitality from the suns' cycles.
Appearance
Sunspark have a radiant, almost incandescent quality to their skin, which changes hue depending on the dominance of Ayin or Yesh. During the day, their skin takes on a golden glow under Ayin's light, while at night, it shimmers with a silvery luminescence from Yesh. Their eyes are particularly striking, reflecting the energy they are attuned to: a bright gold during the day and a cool silver at night. Their hair, too, reflects these changes, flowing with the colors of sunrise, sunset, and twilight.Geographic Distribution
The Sunspark are predominantly concentrated within the Shifting Sands of Yesh, but they are more spread out than the Luminari. While their largest communities are located in the desert regions near the equator, influenced strongly by the twin suns, they also have smaller settlements in other parts of Ayinel. These include regions where the influence of Ayin and Yesh is still strong, such as near major ley lines and sacred sites. Their adaptability to different environments, coupled with their deep connection to the celestial cycles, allows them to thrive in a variety of settings, always seeking places where they can maintain their bond with the suns.History
The Sunspark have always been integral to the Theocracy of Solis Aeternum, their abilities seen as a divine gift. They are often found in positions of leadership within religious and arcane circles, guiding their people with wisdom gained from their intimate relationship with Ayin and Yesh. Over time, they have become symbols of harmony and balance, embodying the dual nature of creation and destruction that the twin suns represent.
Interesting Facts

Notably, viewing the Eternal Twilight as signifying a time of great change or upheaval, often prompting the Sunspark to engage in protective rituals. ---------------------
