Wara’thiel

The Wara’thiel (or Common Elf as humans are wont to call them) are the most recent permutation of the ‘Thiel bloodline. Meant to allow the ‘Thiel to minimize their triggering of the human’s xenophobia, the Wara’thiel have become humanity’s best friend. They act as councilors and record keepers, for the often short sighted and forgetful human rulers. They often move in les reputable circles in their youth, learning the ways of humans “from the ground up” so to speak.

Physical Description
Wara’thiel average between five and six feet tall, but are lighter in build than humans of a comparable height. Their hair and skin colorations come in the standard human spectrums for their place of birth, but always at the dark end of the spectrum for their range. Like all ‘Thiel the Wara’thiel have pointed ears, though these are not as prominent as that of other ‘Thiel. The most outstanding feature of the Wara’thiel are their eyes; almond shaped, too large for the face and mostly iris. Humans sometimes describe them as “unblinking” though this is patently untrue.

Psychological Description
Wara’thiel may have any alignment.

Society
Wara’thiel society is a oligarchal meritocracy. Most of the Wara’thiel have no concern more than the variances of day to day survival, but if one were to choose to be of service, then she would be upon the path to power. As tasks were assigned, note would be kept of your success, and as your reputation grew, more responsibility and authority would be allocated to you.

Relations
The Wara’thiel have good relations with all civilized, surface dwelling races. However relations are somewhat strained with both the Oroxian Theocracy, and the Kurskan Empire, because of the ‘Thiel refusal to convert to either the church of Aton or the church of Phaiogh.

Religion
All ‘Thiel worship Eris-Tull.
