Physical Description

The Elari are an ageless, genderless race with glowing red eyes, visible pointed teeth, bony protrusions across the face/arms, and pale ashy skin covered with arcane tattoos. Elari often dye their naturally white hair jet black or vivid colors. The Elari have changed significantly since arriving in Lorithandar. Older Elari have more monstrous faces with retracted lips revealing long pointed teeth. Elari born after arrival in Lorithandar have evolved somewhat softer appearances, with lips covering the bulk of their fangs more often than not. Elari have neither wide hips, nor pronounced breasts, as they give birth through lacerations in their abdomen and feed their young fresh blood, rather than milk.

Personality

Elari have no sense of morality whatsoever. They are driven by an insatiable desire for personal power above all else and, unlike every other immortal race on Lorithandar, they are willing to take high risk gambles to achieve it.

Unlike the Faerie whose memories overwrite themselves, making them forgetful and eventually insane, the Elari enter something known as Torpor at older ages. This is a form of hibernation, a decades long sleep, which will reset their memories.

Relations

The Elari are uniquely disdainful of every other race and hate the idea of being subservient to anyone or anything, including gods. Those races which live within their cities and on the continent of Elarum are considered slaves.

Religion

The Elari abhor the concept of following a god, for this would be to willingly subjugate oneself to another being, something anathema to them.

Once, long ago, they were ruled by gods, ancient beings of great power, rulers of Arcadia or Pandemonium. The Elari rose up against their gods and overthrew them, consuming their flesh and, in so doing, their power.

Those Elari who consumed their gods became Ascendants and were given the honorific “Tay”, which means “Blessed by the Dark.” Many of the Tay serve upon the Elari Council, but they are not considered gods.

Language

The Elari are known to speak a mix of Pandemonian and Seelie, planar languages which often inspire fear or discomfort in the average citizen of Lorithandar. For the most part their speech is formed of long, garbled words spoken in a low register and often broken by hard consonants or abrupt stops. Some Elari incorporate more of the growling, gnashing verbage common to Pandemonian into their speech. Many consider the language to sound particularly sinister.
