Information
This race of quasi-immortal elves was born out of Morashtar two thousand years after the Great Continent of Arddanor broke up in the continental earthquake, which occurred in the 2nd age of Fire. They are the most ancient race of elves known, and the first Elven race of the Morning Star's creation. There are six branches of this race. The Sea Elves, Mountain Elves, Desert Elves, Forest Elves, Grasslands Elves and Cavern, or Maelvanor, Elves. The cavern elves are the dark natured race, those elves which were driven out of their tribes many ages ago, to go underground to seek the only refuge they could find. Over time, as the dark elves evolved into a new race, and grew resentful of their fair cousins, they made war on the elves which lived under the sun, moon and stars. The Mythaen changed their laws, and those elves which committed grave crimes and grew corrupted were executed, or imprisoned, rather than driven out. The fair elves are very attractive, their bodies hairless except for the satiny hair on their heads, which is almost always very long, and often braided, the albino, cave dwelling Maelvanor included. They are tall, between 5'11-6'2, and lean in their build. Not all Mythaen are magic wielders. Only 1 in 10 Mythaen is born with the ability to command arcane and elemental paths; roll 1 d10, if a 1 is rolled, Elf is a magic user, or get approval of GM. Those who are not born of the mage race, resist magic by 100%.
