High elf

The High elves hail from the Dalawyr Mountains in northern Delos. Once the rulers of a highly advanced empire, the High elves hold great regard in philosophy and intellect.

Appearance
High elves can be identified by their varying shades of blue skin and dark hair.

History
The High elven civilization first developed in the Dalawyr Mountains during the Ancient Era with the founding of various city-states. As time went on, the larger and more powerful city of Anadhelm had conquered its neighbors, forcing the people of these cities to submit to their rule.

This empire, known as Asha, soon subjugated the Mouros people to serve as their farmers and servants while capturing Orcs from the island of Thiva to perform physical labor in their industries and mines.

In -1200 AE, in a misguided attempt to secure more resources, the Empire of Asha invaded the southeastern lowlands, the homeland of the Satyrs. The satyr chieftain Samis led the tribes in a war against Asha that lasted for nearly a decade, ending with the Satyrs sacking Anadhelm with the help of resisting slaves.

Culture
High elf society is highly egalitarian, believing in equal rights for all no matter their race or station. Proud and nationalistic, the High elves highly value family, with weddings and the births of children celebrated for several days.

Religion
The High elven religion is monotheistic, centered around the worship of the goddess Annalis.
