Sihlvihnari

Sihlvihnari –
''"These ethereal creatures were the very image of the Gods for whom they worked and the rest of the Gods, pleased with Laessah’s artistry, gifted the elves with many powers: wisdom, beauty, knowledge, art, music, language, literature, and peace. They governed the land with wisdom and grace, ruling justly. However, there came a time when the task of tending to the planet became too great for the Elves. Many Elves wished to pursue scholarly lives, or artistic lives, or meditative lives, rather than tend the land, plants, and animals. The Gods could not fault the Elves for their wishes, since the Gods themselves had sought these things." ''- The Wanderer Between Truth and Reality (Working Title) - Morgan Puckett The Sihlvihnari are the only pure Elvin race. All the other races are half-elves from multi-racial dalliances.
