Ljósálrás

The Ljósálrás, or Light elves, are the tall, light-skinned elves of southern Delos. They are considered to be the most accomplished, yet contentious of the Elven races.

Appearance
The Ljósálrás are distinguished by their light skin and hair colors.

History
The earliest known empire of the Ljósálrás was known as the Camus Empire, which conquered several Éirla tribes forcing them into slavery.

Over a millennia later, a civil war broke out between the empire and several noble houses who followed the former Crown Prince Jarlath Moran. The war ended in a stalemate after a meteor shower crashed into the capital of the empire, leveling much of the city. Fionn Moran, the son of the king, took the throne and abolished slavery throughout the empire.

Throughout the years, Camus suffered many wars of independence, breaking the once great empire into several smaller nations.

Culture
Nationalistic and proud of their heritage, the Ljósálrás hold intellectual, artistic, and philosophical pursuits in high regard. Religion also plays a large part in the lives of the Ljósálrás.

The Ljósálrás kingdom of Camus is largely lavish and peaceful, ruled over by an elected council. However, other Ljósálrás nations still struggle with conflict.

Religion
Unlike most Elven ethnicities, the Ljósálrás have two dominant religions.

The older of the two is known as Drah'alla, which is centered around the worship of the deities Valtia, Dafo, and Gain.

The more recent religion is centered around the worship of the Na'toreth or "New Court", which is comprised of twenty-five heroes from the Camus Civil War who ascended to godhood.
