Elven Races

General Description

Taken together the Second Races are called the Elven Peoples by the scholars. Elf is the word for “Aspect” in Elya - the First Tongue. The Zurrtanni long ago sacrificed their connection with the element of fire to save the world and have become one of the Human races. As such they are not covered here but included among the other Human races.

The Eressea have splintered into the Eressea and the Ruc Eressea following the demonic corruption of that people. In their anger at the Eressea the Gorron have refused the appellation of “Elf” and answer only to their racial name. They also have accepted the name Dwarf given to them by the human peoples for use outside of their own holdings To name a Child of the Earth an Elf – while technically correct – is likely to be the last act one commits.

The Elven people are the:

Allarin (Sea Elves) - Childern of the Water

Eressea (High/Wind Elves) - Childern of the Wind

Gorron (Dwarves/Stone Elves) - Children of the Earth

Ruc Eressea (Dark Elves) - Corrupted Childern of the Wind

Teleri (Wood Elves) - Childern of the Wood
