Got to hundred views last week, so huzzah. Now I will be releasing a new race; Alfar. They are Elves, similar to the high elves of golarion. As a side note, after the first hundred posts I would like to tell something a little of Sernelius; right now their are three moons in orbit around the world, as well as what appears to be eight rings; similar to saturn. SO here's the race, post comments below, and thank you for your time.
Alfar
Alfar are a free-spirited race and a kind hearted people, unlike their more stoic cousins - which is but one of the many differences. Alfar are more open to those they first meet; opening up with bright greetings. Once this occurs, they determine who the person is before further opening up to them or shunning them. Alfar have the same attachment to their environment as their kin; morphing and altering due to their environment, although it is at a quicker pace, happening over a matter of months. Alfar who live with the shorter-lived races see this time should be spent having as many joyous occasions as possible, making sure each moment is as worthwhile as the last.
Physical Description: Alfar are near identical when it comes to their kin in physical weight and height, taller than humans and a lanky physique accentuated with pointed ears, but differ in both hair and their eyes. Their hair is typically unkempt varying in colors from dark brown to bright green and fire red to dark purple; typically the same color as the natural fauna they were born in. Although their hair is typically the same as the area they live in, their eyes vary in all forms of colors from yellow to lavender, to black to white. Alfar clothes are loose and practical; worn not for appearance purposes, rather for use in hunting, work, and survival.
Society: Alfar feel a great bond with the forest; an eternal being that gives and takes from all that choose to reside within her. They see anyone who chooses to alter nature in anyway as rash and incapable of learning from the more natural things. Alfar move from one land to another every season over the course of a two week venture. If they find the area to beuninhabited, they will establish it as their new home, however if it is inhabited, they will move again and continue this process.
Relations: Alfar easily dismiss those who disregard nature, seeing these people as fools, but they are excellent judges of character. Alfar honor their Chori kin, and many tribes of Alfar let them into their groups with open arms. Alfar see many humans living to quick; not taking enough time to see nature and its beauty. Alfar have a deep bond with the Marleth, a great bond amongst their people a few millennia’s ago was formed, thus it’s been seen that some Alfar groups have Marleth with them. Alfar honor the commitment that the Huldufolk have with the forest, but they see that the alteration of the forests as weird counterproductive to the natural simplicity of nature. The Ursan full commitment to the order of nature is a great connection they have with one another, but Alfar see the Ursa as too ferocious and rash, unlike the calm of the forest they worship. Just as the Marleth, the Alfar have a bond with the Gardna, although a different form. The Alfar have a deep hatred for the Gardan and their kind after a betrayal that occurred thousands of years ago. Many Alfar feel this way to the Gardna, but some have grown to look past that, typically those in the east of the world of Sernelius. Alfar see the Batidaens similar to them, honoring their connection with nature and using the terrain to survive, but they find them curious and weird with their great connection to fighting and war.
Alignment and Religion: Most Alfar are Chaotic Neutral, They prefer gods and deities that follow their views; typically Nethys and Rodvervor. Nethys, because of Alfar deep connection to magic and Rodvervor, because she is the embodiment of nature itself. Many Alfar worship Coosath because he is the embodiment of Alfar and their ideals.
Adventurers: Many Alfar seek to embark on adventures to seek and see the beauty of the natural world, as well as to seek further insight and knowledge. For those raised in urban environments, Alfar see adventure as a deep seeded calling. Alfar traditionally seek to be away from melee, rather preferring classes that either use magic, psionics, and other forms of ranged combat.
