Characteristics

Beliefs

The Sylvan Elves are a beautiful and noble forest tribe, the true descendants of the fallen Millennium Kingdom.

They aim to honor the last moments of the elf tribe by passing on civilization to the inexperienced human race.

The Sylvan Elves believe that, like the Millennium Kingdom of the past, the Holy Hieron (Habichts) Empire must become the true guardians of civilization.

They aim to make this a reality.

This race can choose these classes:

	Guardian	Ranger	Mage	Paladin

Future classes:

Assassin	Mystic

Starting Area

Beginnings: Eternal Shade

A Sylvan elf patroller, devoted to the elves’ honorable future, works to protect the injured tree of life.

Then, one day, those who seek the Tree of Life appear.

Village: El Gradis

El Gradis, the Sylvan Elves’ capital, is where the injured tree of life Lilyanthes is located.

After the Aqua Elves left, the remaining Sylvan Elves came to accept the fact that they were now mortals, and remained around the Tree of Life.  

Though the Sylvan Elves calmly accept their fate, they are also currently doing their best to protect the long-standing Tree of Life.

Main NPCs

	Tanara (Great Guardian)
	The former Great Guardian of the elves. A long time ago, she renounced her position as the Great Guardian, since she blamed herself for failing to protect the Tree of Life from the Devil Dragon Ventus. She has been protecting El Gradis’s border as a patroller for a thousand years.

	Elain (Guardian)
	Born a Sillin, Elain is now a Guardian since she was acknowledged by Tanara. Although she does not have much longer to live, she worries more about the lonely Tanara than herself.

Lore

After the Giant War ended, the one and only god Physis made a huge seed using remnants of the Giant race. After planting the seed in the ground, the tree of life and harmony Lilyanthes grew, and the elves were the first to be born from Lilyanthes’s fruit.

Bara, who was purified by through the earth of providence, gave the elves a beautiful appearance, intelligence, and longevity.

Since they were born with the power of Bara, the Sylvan Elves have the ability to communicate freely with spirits just like the native races created by the Daimon Gods. Many elves were enlightened about the nature of the world, leading to the birth of elemental magic.

The second era of elven civilization developed spectacularly based on spirits and magic, and their kingdom of El Gradis enjoyed no less than a thousand years of prosperity. However, as the Red Dragon Ventus woke from his sleep under Hwellruzel Mountain, the Millennium Kingdom that the elves had believed to be eternal began to collapse.

The elves joined forces with the dwarves to fight against the Fire Dragon’s army, and after countless sacrifices, they were finally able to seal Ventus away. However, the beautiful city of El Gradis has already turned into ruins, and Lilyanthes, the tree of life and harmony was dying from wounds inflicted by Ventus. To make it worse, Erlione Lilyanthes, the only queen of the elves, had also perished.

Wrought with despair and grief after the War of the Fire Dragon the noble and wise Guardians of the Millennium Kingdom tried to revive the queen and save the race’s fate from providence using the power of chaos.

Despite the objections of many elves, the Guardians went ahead with the ritual. However, they were stopped by the Great Guardian Tanara. As a result, the ritual ended incomplete.

 This event later triggered the elves’ civil war, which led to the division of the once united elves. The kingdom’s magician, Arkiel Baryanthes, left El Gradis with his followers and headed south, leaving the rest of the elves to remain.

Thereafter, although the elves did not regain a second period of prosperity, the Sylvan Elves who chose to stay at El Gradis honorably accepted their fate. Rather than using Bara’s power and live as another existence, they chose instead to face the end as elves.

Nonetheless, the Sylvan elves still wanted to preserve the civilization achieved by the Millennium Kingdom for future generations, as they believed that it was a mission and duty given to them by the providence. As a result, the Sylvan elves chose humans to be their spiritual successor.

The Sylvan elves have been actively interacting with humans since the ancient Lumen era, and have joined the Holy Hieron Empire to advise human civilization on ways to advance in the fifth era.
