Argosian Elf
In contrast to Argosian Human , most elfs live a life of conflict and bloodshead. A race created by The Dracana to replace the orcs, the eives had the natural intelligence to rebel from there Draconian masters. In what was known as the @The Three Hundred Year War, a war that the elfs won. Modern Elfen civilization is mostly based in Caelthyr , a city founded for the express purpose of uniting the displaced Elven peoples.
As a result, Elfs in Argos are split into two camps, those who reside in human cities, and those who have chosen to live in Caelthyr. Elves in human city's live their out of a sense of tradition, the sons and daughters of the merchants and wizards who lived their before the founding of Caelthyr . While slightly discriminated against, and while some choice to leave even now due to it, most stay with their human friends and family either out of a desire for traditional values, friendship, or a lack of need to change.
Caelthyrian elfs, (That is to say, elfs who participated in the mass exodus to the newly-settled city-state of Caelthyr) live much better lives. Caelthyr is a very progressive nation for it’s time, with state-sponsored jobs, a republican senate of prominent citizens, a legislative body open to the public, and free healthcare and schooling for all. Yet, while Caelthyr may be a paradise for elves, it’s citizens are highly xenophobic of anyone without elven blood. While Aldren Elf are considered equals, half-elves are considered second-class citizens, and humans are openly discriminated against, and Cael help you if you are a Chronopage. Oddly, the state-religion of Caelthyr is split between the worship of their founder, Cael, (Who still rules their country after his death though various Simulacrums, summoned and imprinted with instructions) and the less-popular deity some claim was worshiped by Cael in life, Pherlian, a oft-forgotten deity of suffering, martyrdom, and sacrifice.
