600 AD: Elves Against Myth

 

The Tim Kirk of Iceland's take on elf

Elfkind has been around even before the Sky separated from the Sea and the Trees grew on Land. In  600 A.D. , they are often described as angels that did not chose a side when Lucifer tried to defy God. Tied to magic and the working of magicks, but also tied to the goings on by the mundane creatures around them. For most practicing Good Old Tyme Religion, umm Paganism, you idiots, elves are a primordial species that aren't trolls (titans or monsters, if you're from the Greek center of the world).

   Those in this most modern of world in the year of Our Lord 600, elves are watching that One God thing making most the Cosmos go mythical. That said, they aren't exactly opposed to Christendom, located in the Parchment. Marble, and Steel Valley. That is all the cutting edge spots between Rome and Constantinople. Elves aren't fans of chaos and misery that cyclopsi and storm giants have liked to impose on those around them. They, in their eternal wilderness, can withstand the mundane. They have after all survived the separation of the Sky from the Sea, and helped grow the Tress on the Land. 

   Reincarnation, while essential to the species survival, it really gets on their nerves though. They are immortal in age, but not eternal in form, at least since when the Sky separated from the Sea. Elves live many lives. It's not a pleasant quest working their way out of any of the many damnation pits lying just beyond whatever mortal coils of the Cosmos. Memory as well as ancient wisdom is lost. These lost things though can be recovered. This is while the elf is in a new skin. The elvish can't complain too much.

The Elf Player-Character in 600 A.D:

  
 Sprung from Dryad-Trees only found in the deepest of forests, elves are here to protect those around them from chaos. As they are tied to magic along threads being woven by the Stitch Witches weaving the Cosmos around all beings in the Universe, a world's elements hold only so weight upon them.
