[font=Palatino Linotype][size=4]This is a place for me to write the lore of a subspecies that I'm currently working on, called [i]elves[/i]. The idea is that these dragons are the descendants or the souls of a long-dead elven race, and that they've inherited physical and habitual traits of these beings. These dragons are elegant, proud and secluded, and they often have elongated ears and fine features.
The subspecies comes in different variants. Since this is my first time creating a subspecies [b]I love all and any feedback or ideas![/b] Just shoot it at me, whether it's about the lore, the items or familiars, or the look of the dragons themselves~

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=5][b]The Fall and Rebirth of the Elves[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=4]There are tales of a mythical and magical race of humanoids, thriving in the times before dragons. The elves were known as tall and fair, with an eye for beauty and will to protect and nurture their homes from those who would destroy it. Their powerful magic were drawn from nature, from the primal energies of the land. It was part of their soul, their essence, and they were as equally their magic as they were flesh and bone.
But this magic put fear in other races, and it became the slow decline of the fair people. On the very brink of their own extinction, they sealed their fate, to save themselves and the remains of their primal energies. How they came to do this, scholars have yet to figure out. Some say the elves tore their souls from their bodies, to be reborn in a stronger, better form. Some say they foresaw the future of dragonkin, and ascended to these beings, hiding in the protection of their magic when all other life was extinguished.
Whatever the case, the elves and their traditions live on, although no longer in their original shape. The elven dragons have for many years stayed hidden, the memories of their people's death at the hand of outsiders still tearing at their hearts. They are, and have always been, a secluded people, both fearful and suspicions of dragonkin and beastclan alike. They might find their way into new clans, and new lives. Some might even tolerate the worship of the dragons' deities - but they're forever loyal to their people, the elves.
[center]*[/center]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=4]Not much is known about how the first elves looked. They were said to be beautiful people, tall and slender, with long hair and ears, their magical properties perpetuating their every being. Nowadays, the elven dragons display several variants, adapting to their environments in a hard-willed attempt to survive.
The elven dragons usually lives in small clans, tribes, in which they keep out of the sight of dragons and beastclans alike. The variants, and many tribes within these, know of each other's existence, but due to their isolation they rarely meet. Elven dragons are never diplomats or negotiators, and they're rarely merchants either; they take on occupations to ensure the survival of the tribe, and preferably never leaves its borders.
Instead, elven dragons find themselves in three major sects of occupation; Those connected to nature, such as hunters, caretakers, and foragers. Those connected to crafts become architects, jewelers, herbalists; and finally, those that are strongly connected to the magic of the elves, who use their abilities in the tribe's best interest, making wards or becoming scholars.
The primal energies of the elves have survived along the people, and are still protected by them. But now, the energies are no longer bound in the earth, as their homeland saw destruction. Rather, the energies reside in the dragons themselves, an inheritance of their elven ancestors. The elven dragons honor this by building shrines and worshiping their original people, and the primal energies are still vital to their survival.
[center]*[/center]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=4]The elven dragons, while still dragons, share many traits with their ancestors. Most elven dragons have taken shape as Imperials, their slender, tall bodies and long ears as close to their original shape as can be. But as years have gone by, elves have begun to take shape outside the Imperial breed. They have found their peace in shapes of Skydancers and Wildclaws too, their elegance and primal force an extension of the might of Imperials - and even among these other breeds does the elven traits tend to shine though.
Their coloration changes within each variant, but elves are known for their pale and fair skin and scales. Just like their ancestors, elven dragons display shimmering bodies, and hair that glistens and gleams. The elves were said to have a particular fondness of gleaming gems, or light metalwork and the creation of jewelry; and now, as dragons, this filigreed beauty has become part of them.
Their personality is equally inherited from the ancestors. The elven dragons are a proud people above all, and they have a habit of looking down upon other races or dragonkin, especially those who does not share their keen sense of beauty and aesthetic. This, and their inborn distrust of strangers, leave them little love for outsiders - although, it is not impossible to find them among other dragon clans. But the elves are always loyal to their people first, and even living among others, their hearts reside with others of their kin.

[columns][b]Goat[/b]
Goat eyes are an oddity within elf tribes. These elves are known to be in touch with nature and the elements of their variant. They are graced with a wide range of talents that helps them cultivate and understand their environments. However, their dwellings in these talents means that Goat eyed elves are beastly in nature, and in some individuals, this wild side dominates the usual civil ways of the elves. Goat eyed elves are frowned upon in most tribes, except the Wood elves, where their talents are praised. It is usual for Goat eyed elves to become solitary, and seek a lone life within the wild, where they cannot be condemned.

[b]Swirl[/b]
Scholars are unsure about what exactly swirling eyes means, but it is widely believed that they represent a confusion between the elven soul and the dragon body. Swirling eyes can happen at any time in an elf's life, and in a way these eyes are seen as a disease that can strike anyone. These elves are oft confused and tends to forget who they are; they can't remember their tribesmates, and they become indifferent to the elven ways. Some elves become wanderers, seeking a truth to the troubles and chaos inside them; several ends up lost.
[/columns]
[columns][b]Uncommon - Rare[/b]
Uncommon, Unusual or Rare eyes are a sign of strong magic capability or special talent, and are valued greatly within elf tribes. Eyes of rarer types are considered beautiful and aesthetically pleasing for their minor difference to Common eyes, and dragons with these eyes usually have an easier time finding their livelong mates.

[b]Faceted[/b]
Faceted eyes are a blessing and a curse both. While the eyes are considered beautiful among elves for their gem-like gleam, elves with faceted eyes are usually born with poor eyesight, and more than a few are completely blind. These elves are said to be more in touch with their magic and their senses, but faceted eyes comes with another surprise; for these elves are known for seeing the strings of fate. Like seers of old, they see the possible futures of elves and dragons before them, and with this knowledge comes both great responsibility and pain. Elves with faceted eyes hold important roles within their tribes, but are usually pitied by their tribemates.
[/columns]
[columns][b]Multi-Gaze[/b]
Multi-Gaze is an abomination in elven dragons, and the hatchlings are mercilessly cast from the tribe society. If possible, they're left at the doorsteps of non-elf lairs, to be given a chance at life - but always as exiles.

[b]Primal[/b]
Primal eyes are treated differently depending on the values and traditions of each tribe, and the specific type of Primal an elf inhabits. There is no question that an elf dragon with Primal eyes is as close to their magical abilities as can be, and their entire essence blooms with this talent. But to many tribes, Primal eyes signals a close relationship to the dragon Deities, and many Primals are considered traitors or spies for these higher beings. Also, as it always is, elven dragons value beauty highly, and while some Primal eyes can be considered an enhancement to a dragon's aesthetic, there are many that cannot. Therefore there is simply some Primals that are more accepted than others.
[/columns]
[columns][b]Glowing[/b]
Once an elf dragon reaches a certain age, it is believed their attunement to their ancestors (and through them, their primal magic) becomes so great, it starts showing through their body and soul. Glowing eyes are a natural occurrence in elven dragons, a sign of great age, and with it comes the respect of their tribesmates. Preferably, any elven tribe is led by one who has achieved Glowing eyes, an honor earned by their age and wisdom.

[b]Dark Sclera[/b]
Dark Sclera occurs very rarely in elven dragons, and they're usually believed to be little more than tales to scare the hatchlings. However, Dark Sclera eyes are quite real, and elven scholars believe them to be dragons inhabited by evil or ill-meaning souls. These elven dragons are known to foster magic of a darker nature, with no relation to their inherited primal abilities, making them both powerful and terrible.

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=4]
[b]Familiars[/b]
- Are never Beastclan, as elves don't trust these. Anything slightly humanoid is easily distrusted
- Likewise, festival familiars, who are aligned to a certain deity, are rare familiars within elven tribes
- Favored familiars are usually chosen by looks, anything considered beautiful or elegant will do
- However, favored familiars change within each variant
[b]Items[/b]
Elven dragons favor jewelry, cut gems and shiny metals. They love anything decorative and beautiful, especially if it fits their filigree. They prefer to keep shrines close to them, and build reminders of their own attunement to their primal magic - as well as their elven ancestors.
[b]Apparel[/b]
Elves work on two principles when dressing themselves;
- It must be simple
- There must be contrast, often light, flowy silks contrasted by hard gems
Elves love light cloth such as silks or dresses. They adorn these with gems and jewelry, but never in a way that'd be considered over-the-top. Elves prefer to appear light and unburdened. Each variant usually have different favorites of apparel, changing to fit the occupations inside the differing tribes.
This is a place for me to write the lore of a subspecies that I'm currently working on, called elves. The idea is that these dragons are the descendants or the souls of a long-dead elven race, and that they've inherited physical and habitual traits of these beings. These dragons are elegant, proud and secluded, and they often have elongated ears and fine features.

Ice elves are the most isolated of all elves, and a prone to live in small clans deeply hidden in the frozen fields of Ice territory. Their seclusion has visible effect on the variant, and Ice elves are the least differentiating of all. Their simple colors allows them to camouflage better among their frozen homes, from predators and other dragonkin alike.
Ice elves are said to be the most hardy of all elf variants, despite of (or, perhaps because of) their lack of connections outside their tribes. Their scales have grown harder and their fur thicker, adapting them to the elements. They are less prone to disease, and sees little war as they live away from the sight of others. Legends even goes that the Ice elves live longest of all, an impressive feat considering the already great longevity of elves.
The Ice elves have achieved their success through a strict set of rules and a sometimes harsh attitude. It's not hard to see the frigidness of the Ice element reflect on these elves, despite their denunciation of dragon deities and their worship of a more primal energy - however, the Ice elves are also well-known for their elegance, their wisdom, and their care and loyalty to any they deem worthy as a friend.

The Wood elves are a branch of elves that sought to return to the roots of their ancestors, and so they found themselves wherever they could find impressive nature, similar to that of the legends of their homeland. Their quest led them from the sea and deep into mainland, and the tribes settled to make their homes among the trees. Their colors are in general more dark than that of other variants, a natural occurrence born from a need to stay hidden, and from the influence of the shadowed groves in which they live.
Wood elves are perhaps the most tribal of the variants. Whereas their cousins like to focus on craftsmanship of metals and jewels, the Wood elves have found joy in simpler materials such as wood and stone. Some find this a conundrum, as the Wood elves sought to get closer to their ancestors in both looks and way of living; but in truth it's a compromise. The Wood elves are highly religious, and work hard to obtain the same connection to their primal energy as was said to grace their elven ancestors. In turn, they have given up the time and resources that other variants use to craft and work advanced metals and filigreed jewels.
Their worship of their ancestors and the primal energies are centerpiece to everything that happens within a tribe. The Wood elven tribes are famously close-knit societies, in which the comfort and happiness of all is a top priority. They are known for their traditional and conservative values, their complicated rituals, and a somewhat tribal and simplistic way of living.

The Sea elves are the first elven variant and the 'root' of all current elves. After ascending to dragonkin the elves first took to the sea, where they could live in peace from the dragons of Sornieth and their deities. The elves built beautiful, slender ships to carry them, travelling wherever the wind took them. Their colors took to match the blue-green waters around them, while their filigree often displays bold colors to impress their tribemates. Their eye color varies the most between all elves, a side-effect to their vast travelling.
The life of Sea elves resolves around their ships and constantly living on water. Most Sea elves find themselves in tasks such as fishers or hunters, while an even larger amount becomes connected to naval occupations or navigation. Sea elves rarely make port for long, and never settle on land, making their appearances sudden and unexpected. However, the Sea elves are perhaps the variant most likely to approach other dragonkin, even if only for a short amount of time. While also fond of pearls, their lives at sea limit their ability to gather the gems, silks, and metals so beloved by their people, leaving them little choice but to resort to trading to obtain these. Since Sea elves are also the boldest of all elf variants, some tribes even turn to piracy to gather that which they consider a necessity to their lives. For this reason, other variants often consider the Sea elves the most daring, but also the least honorable.
Even so, Sea elves have achieved to become the least worried of elven variants, their large variety between individuals keeping their adaptability high. They are generally less worried with religious aspects, and are more prone to worship through celebration, of which they have many. They are known as bold and daring, but at their core they still display the elegance of elves, albeit in a more relaxed way than their cousins. Their trading with other dragonkin as made them less suspicions of foreign clans, but they are still haughty in their approach to strangers.

Moon elves are the most mystical and least known variant of the elves. These elves fled to the shadows and have become nocturnal as a way to keep themselves hidden from the outside world. However, this also means that they have become isolated from their cousins, and their nocturnal ways has made the Moon elves more drastically adapted to their new environment than the other variants. Their colors have switched from blue and green to a purplish hue, and their eyes have evolved to a life in the moonlight.
Because of their nightly activities, Moon elves have lost much of their ancestors' interest in beautiful craftmanship. If it does not glow in the dark or shine like the moon, it has little use in the darkness these elves live in. For this, the Moon elves are often considered the least superficial of elves. Instead, Moon elves have re-imagined the elegance and beauty of the elves in music, song and dance. Whenever there is a full moon, these elves will emerge from their hiding to dance the night away in complicated routines. And unlike other variants who might court their mates using fine gifts, the Moon elves court by serenades, poetry, intricate dances or complex musical plays. It is believed that the moon grants all Moon elves a gifted talent in any of these arts, but sometimes it takes time to find one's personal grace.
The Moon elves are quite different in the behavior from other variants, in the way that they do not craft and have decided to live in the night. However, it should not be mistaken, because the Moon elves are still much like their cousins at their core; their worship of elegance and beauty have simply taken a different form. The Moon elves are not particularly religious, but seems to praise the moon and her light, a praise that certain other variants find heretic. And while they have gone to great measure to stay hidden, the Moon elves are not overly suspicious of outsiders. Their carefulness are born from their very cautious and shy nature, rather than an inborn distrust to anything that isn't other elves. When met with outsiders, they have been known to entertain themselves by asking ridiculous riddles or strange wordplays, but anyone who impresses the Moon elves by resolving these, or by besting them in their own arts, will gain the trust and respect of any tribe.

The Light elves are the fairest of all elves, their appearance gleaming and glimmering, shining like the light of the brightest days. The variant is associated with dawn, and their wings are known to portray the last of stars giving way to a rising sun. Like the dawn they are a fleeting people, basking momentarily in it's light before moving to new grounds around the world of Sornieth.
Light elves live nomadic lives, their small tribes always moving from place to place. They are collectors of knowledge, of scrolls and books, and their will to gather leads them far and wide, with no true place to call home. From time to time they meet tribes of other variants, but they never stay long. Light elves are very wise creatures, but the true purpose behind their gatherings is to reconnect with their ancestors - by learning how they lived, and what really happened to them. Almost all Light elves are scholars, chroniclers or historians.
The elves of Light are bright and wise, but also firmly set in their own beliefs. They care little for anything but their own tribe and quest. Their relations with other variants, even other tribes, are of fleeting nature, and they live sporadic lives. They are infamously known for their strife with the Dark elves. What exactly happened has been lost in history, but the Light elves claim that the Dark elves destroyed their true home, until there was nothing left but smoke and dust. Somewhere out there is said to be a library, grander and brighter than any other, the last remnant of the lost city of the Light elves.

The Dark elves are ground-dwelling creatures, living deep beneath the earth in hiding from the outside world. With little exposure to the sun, their colors are dimmed and ashen, helping them camouflage against the dangers of the underworld. Dark elves are associated with dusk, and it is believed to be the only time of day they dare leave their underground lairs.
Dark elves are excellent in mining for treasures and gems, their own filigree mimicking their favorite colors. Tribes are large and very socially committed, and tend to center around their most famous talent; blacksmithing. Elves of all variants and tribes travel far and wide to visit the Dark elves, buying raw materials, gilded jewelry, or arms and armor of legendary quality. Stories of Dark elven equipment has passed through the ages, inspiring every new generation to push the limits of beauty and grace. While they go to great lengths to hide from strangers, the Dark elves welcome other elves like family. These, however, rarely stay long in lairs beneath the ground, finding the dangers and darkness oppressing and inhospitable.
Dark elves are equally focused and ambitious about their talents, so much that other elves and dragons can find it hard to compete. But when they find someone with the same passion, Dark elves commit fully and make live-long relationships. Their tribes are large and very social, but they are prone to a mixture of melancholy and jealousy when they meet with elves of other variants; sad, because these always leave in the end, and equally envious of their ability to do so.
The Dark elves are infamous for their feud with the Light elves, the one variant that is not welcomed to their lairs. What exactly happened has been lost in history, but the Dark elves believe the myth that they were once Light elves themselves, until a tribe became too greedy, and threw them into darkness. Here, they and their descendants are cursed to live for all eternity.

The Elves of Starlight, also known as Lights of Earendil, are a small-numbered variant rarely seen by either dragon or elf. Once, before the fall of elves, they were the origin of all, blessed by the stars and the Primal magic that is part of any elf; now they have become ethereal beings, caught between worlds. Their colors are a reflection of the stars themselves, their filigreed gems the last brightness left in them from a grand glory long ago.
Starlight elves did not become dragons quite like their cousins did. Their souls were too strongly connected to their elven bodies and magic, and thus they're not fully anchored in the physical world. Ethereal beings, more magic than dragon, they have hard times surviving, and their numbers are few between. Their appearance are ghostlike in daylight, and only on nights were stars shine brightly do they seem part of this world.
Starlight elves suffered the most from loosing their elven form, and this has brought many flaws. Starlight elves are often blind or weak-sighted. They stand little chance against the much stronger dragon clans and Beastclan. Starlight elves are in constant need to be close to the stars or things or magic origin, or they risk their magical bodies to disappear entirely. Rumor goes that some of these elves have resorted to 'stealing' the magic of dragons, in order to keep themselves alive. However, Starlight elves also gain much from being made almost entirely of magic. Their powers sustains them, and they need little food or sleep. They are able to fly far distances and live impossibly long lives - some claim they have achieved immortality. Their ethereal bodies help them appear and disappear on will, escaping those would who ruin them.
Starlight elves are both revered and pitied by the other variants, who consider them closest to their ancestors, but also those most troubled by the transformation from elf to dragon. Not much is known about the whereabouts or life of these elves. They are only seen on very clear nights, small tribes with only two or three members. Only when they become alone do Starlight elves seek out the company of either elves or dragons, seemingly afraid to spent their existence on their own. Yet this has happened very rarely in the past, leading many to wonder if the Elves of the Stars even exists - or if they have become extinct altogether.
