Gahnahdihl

Gahnahdihl – 
" ''In desperation, greatly outnumbered and not nearly as strong or quick to grow, the Elves stole Human women and children. The children were often used as laborers or drafted into the armies, the women were raped and forced to bear half-breed children who possessed the agility and heightened senses of the Elves, but also possessed the strength and endurance of the Humans. Thus, the Elvin race known as the Gahnahdihl were born, children of Elvin soldiers and female Human slaves. If the child was a male, it was trained and drafted into the army, if the child was a female, she might be trained as a bowman or she might become another breeder female. To be born Gahnahdihl, especially as a woman, was a grim and unjust fate... Before the Great Wars these races were created by choice, but after, the Gahnahdihl were created by necessity, no matter how terrible it seemed. Without the Gahnahdihl to boost their army, the Elves would surely all have perished." ''- The Wanderer Between Truth and Reality (Working Title) - Morgan Puckett

The Gahnahdihl are a race of half-elves, half-humans. They are a hardy race with the grace and agility of the Elves, but the strength and endurance of man. They are known as the Golden Elves because many of their kind have bronze skin and golden hair, although all skin and hair colors can be found amongst them (as they are as varied as the Humans they mixed with.) They were bred to be warriors and are amongst the land’s finest fighters.
