Elf

Elves (or hirran, "Children of the Forest" in Elvish), are a powerful mystical race whose origins extend back to ancient times. These then-immortal beings were among the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world. They are the founders of a magical and advanced civilization which at its peak spanned nearly all the woods of Erilith. The elves came into a horrific conflict with the Nether Realm, but achieved a Pyrrhic victory that ended in the disbandment of the civilization. From that point, the elves had become an independent and arrogant civilization that was very few in numbers. Continuously they grew, hidden away in the forests of Ylsthaes, until they were ready to reveal themselves to the modern world.

The far-reaching and ancient legacy of the elves shaped them into a race of very self-sufficient and self-conscious individuals, who often display strong streaks of isolationism. Their power comes from the forest crystals, which are still around to this day. However few in numbers, some elves still use them to practice magic. The elves are somewhat afraid of magic, as they still fear the return of the Nether Realm.
