Prime Elf

The ancestral race to all Elves on Iuldar. The Prime Elves were more robust than modern Elves, with thicker arms and chests, though still more gracile than the average human. Their skin was light grey, with no melanin in it. Unlike all modern elves (except for Dark Elves and Torn Elves), Prime Elves’ eyes had no photophores, and did not glow. The Prime Elves started as un-unified tribes in the jungles of central Wiiramyl, until Terilli Herronylfen united a large group of Elven tribes together and built the city of Yllsilyn. From there the Elves started to unite more and more of their kind until an confederation was formed that came to be called Yllsilyn Kingdom and later, the Pan-Elven Alliance. As the other Elven races began to splinter from the Prime Elves, they were given a portion of the territory to rule as a nation within the alliance. By the time of the Fourth Elf-Sanrhyyk War, there were only 22 living Prime Elves. They were the ruling class, but by far the minority numerically. A mass assassination of all of the remaining Prime Elves in 1888 TS was the spark that led to the Fifth War.
