Elves

General Information
The elves are a species not native to the Medoran. Centuries ago, their arrival brought a cataclysm that shattered the Ajtazi Empire and allowed the humans to finally revolt against their rakshasan oppressors. Because of this, elves are looked upon favorably by the Yemmish and the Ra'Hakin. The Arakunans distrust them, and Haumeans revere them as creatures of exotic, alien beauty.

The term "elf" comes from an old Hakin colloquialism whose original meaning has been lost to time. The elves refer to themselves as Ajkirith, or "people from the stars."

Most elves stay isolated within their "Mirage Cities," comfortably hidden deep in the Ajtazi Wastes from explorers and invaders alike. Every so often, however, wanderlust will strike an elf at her heart and she will venture out into the wider world. These elves almost never return home, not because they do not wish to, but because the are simply unable.

Typical Physical Characteristics
Elves stand slightly taller than the average human with lithe builds and pointed ears. Their angular, alien faces, however, are truly what set them apart from their round-eared counterparts. Their skin is typically a light chestnut and their large, almond-shaped eyes come only in black. All elves are completely hairless, though many that live among humans have taken to wearing elaborate wigs in a variety of colors.
