High Elf

The Torva’Shal (Translated as “Elves of the Arcane”) or as they are more commonly known, High Elves, originate from the Fallen City of Embrel originally, though are now a scattered and fading people.   Due to the levels of arcane magic in the area when the city was land-bound, the long-lived High Elves have changed on a physiological level from their original species. This is evident in the appearance of High Elves. While it can differ drastically the most common change is that High Elves tend to have glowing eyes (Usually blue, purple, or gold, but green and other colors aren’t unheard of), and a purple or blue skin-tone is not uncommon nor is oddly colored or even glowing hair.   This has made them especially proficient in the magical arts, with even the least magically talented High Elf being able to cast spells, even after The Shifting.   The High Elves as a people were already on a numerical decline after The Shifting, but the events of Jayllin's Terror and the Fall of Embrel have put the High Elven people even further on the backfoot with the utter destruction of their home and the loss of nearly 70% of their population. High Elves are an even rarer sight in modern day Kalin, and only growing rarer with time.
