Nonor and Nonvani Elves

Nonor Elves
Nonor elves come from a dimension parallel to our own. Due to unknown circumstances, they were transported here and washed up on the shore of Thaija Island.

Nonor elves are the ancestors of Nonvani elves. Similar to textbook high elves, they are highly skilled in all forms of magic. However, due to Nonor elves' origin dimension differing from our own, they are unable to manipulate the elements (earth, fire, water, air) in the present dimension.

Nonor elves pride themselves on their masonry and weapon forging.

Nonor elves have tanned skin and dark, earth-toned hair in variants of brown, black, red, green, and blonde.

Nonvani Elves
Nonvani elves are the descendants of Nonor elves. They emerged from the ashes after the Dhaelo volcano erupted and made a home from the wildlife that remained. Survival became their focus and they evolved to have shorter hair, darker skin, and less body mass.

Nonvani elves are still versed in magic, however their profficiencies now lie in hunting, surviving, hiding, and shelter building.
