Elven Races of Mvaserine
Avariels [ ah·vah·ree·elle ] Winged Elves.
Capital CityAmvabel
Physical Traits
Primarily light-to-tan skinned, though darker skin is not an unheard-of trait.
Light colored eyes, including blues, greens, purples, and other unusual but vibrant shades. Brown is very rare. Black has never been seen, but not impossible. Sclera is white only.
Hair color is not limited, though highly unnatural colors (such as green or hot pink) are far less commonly seen.
Culturally, hair is longer more often than it is short, but this is up to the individual.
Rarely shorter than 5’0”, upwards of 6’5” tall. Average 5’5”-6’0”.
Typically thin but not frail. Lithe and winsome.
Surnames in Avariel culture are earned, not given.
ReligionOnce devoted disciples of the Wildmother herself and their creator, Imneluna, though worship has fallen to the wayside. There are small sects throughout the entirety of Mvaserine that are devoted to them both, but they are few and far between.
The lesser goddess, Gwilith, and god, Skui, are of the air and sky respectively, and quite prevalent within Avariel society. Often, they are revered habitually or in passing, though many Avariel bear their sigil in some way.
Ēkvāṭika [ ee·vah·tree·kah ] Aquatic Elves.
Capital CityUlleluna
Physical Traits
Primarily shades of tan, green, blue, grey, or purple. All colors look very muted.
Skin is smooth and slick to touch. Very cool.
Eyes are large and very fish-like.
Hair color can be any shade, but tends to be much darker.
Rarely shorter than 5’5”, upwards of 7’0” tall. Average 5’5”-6’5”.

Ears elongated like the typical elf’s, but fin out slightly.
Webbed fingers and toes.
ReligionAll elves were once devoted disciples of the Wildmother herself and their creator, Imneluna, though worship for many has fallen to the wayside. The Ēkvāṭika are the primary exception here, with shrines to both centrally located.
Gaer and Aear, the lesser twin gods of the ocean and sea, are prominently worshipped by the Ēkvāṭika. Smaller shrines are devoted to both.
Myrkálfar [ meer·kahl·fahr ] Dark Elves.
Capital CityCaelora
Physical Traits

Light colored eyes are less common but not unheard-of, including blues, greens, purples, and other unusual but vibrant shades; however, deeper shades of the aforementioned colors, including brown, are more prevalent. Sclera can be white or black.
