The MUD we always wanted to play Elves
Of Kyderria
From the depths of the past arose the Sitha. Their roots lie entwined
with that of their cousin-race the elves. Long before man walked the lands,
there lived a proud race called the Sidhe. Noble, ethereal, and tied to the
land by bonds of magic, the Sidhe were the lords of vast empires and
kingdoms. Nosferatu created the Sidhe to rule over the lesser fairy races,
and the Sidhe lived in peace for a millennia, until the dark times. Until
the Nameless One came along with the rise of the shades. Jealous and greedy,
The Nameless One with the help of the shades began to drive the Sidhe out
from their forest homes. At first, the Sidhe held their ground, but their
slow reproduction cycle and their vulnerability to the cold touch of iron
soon spelled the doom of the once proud race. Then the Nameless One cast
powerful curse on the remaining Sidhe so they could never have pure children
upon this world again. The Sidhe decided to retreat from their beloved
world, forming great moongates to an alternate plane called Arcadia, and
retreating behind the Mists, the Sidhe sealed most of the Ways behind them.
Those Sidhe who remained by accident or be design on the world they once
called home soon fell prey to the banality and mundane nature of the new
world that the Nameless had created. No longer were the lands infused with
the mystic energy of nature, but slowly large cities and fields grew. The
Nameless began to bend and warp the very fabric of the delicate tapestry of
reality, and wonder and glamour fell sharply. Xorphox heard the call of
Nosferatu and came to this world and instantly fell in love with the Sidhe
race and knew he had to somehow help this race survive. Xorphox, not being
able to remove the curse that the Nameless had placed on the race, met with
Athyra and asked for her help to join what was left of the Sidhe race with
her newly developed humans. This crossbred race would not be affected by the
curse and would qualities of both races. They would be quick to adapt and
still have great magic though not as great as their cousins the Sitha. They
would become known as the Elves.
Of Kivekia
The Elven people inhabit the small town of Jinacia, buried in the depths
of the Trunir Forest that covers the continent of Abeh. They follow the ways
of their god fanatically, and the religious teachings of the Order. Little
is known about the Order, other than it seems to be a secret organisation
behind a lot that goes on within the borders of Abeh. Some suggest it could
be little more than a secret cult, while others say it is an organised
governmental force. Every elf is taught of the hallowed texts that the Order
produce, and every elf knows that the land of Abeh is indeed a paradise of
magic and wonder.
In the modern times, a lot of the effort of the elves goes into the
observation of their surroundings, both keeping the advancing overgrowth of
the forest from overrunning the rest of their town, and maintaining a
watchful eye on the other races throughout the world.
