Solarians

"When the Light touched upon us, our destiny was forever changed to become one with the living force that drove us. We became stronger, intelligent but also arrogant and full of vanity."

- Shalendra, on remembering the Light's embrace and its aftermath

Solarians, also known as Light Elves, Sun Elves, and the Eldar are among the oldest known races in Aiscoria. The Solarians have a long and fascinating history that begins with their encounter with the Living Light, its embrace to the Great War to defend Aiscoria. The Solarians began a long period of seclusion after the Humans rebelled and created their own kingdoms, and that seclusion has recently ended with the outbreak of the Tri War.

The Light's Embrace
The primitive elves that would predate their altered state began their lives as simple tribal groups across the blissful lands of Aiscoria, when a small group of them were encountered by the Light and were imprinted with the knowledge of the Light, becoming stronger and faster and much wiser then may have been intended by the Creators. The Light had embraced these elves as its children, before being banished from Aiscoria by the creators whom overlooked the altered elves all the same. The Firstborn, Shalendra Luren would lead the self-proclaimed Eldar into forging a true civilization and using their gifts to accelerate their civilization by thousands of years, creating then the greatest realm in the known world.

The Time of the Eldar
"The Eldar ruled unchallenged, as if it was laid out for us to protect against any would-be invader of our great land. But while we were without opponents, we were slowly becoming blind to the truth that was the Light."

- Maladis Valemane, Lord of House Valemane

The Solarian Empire would expend across most of the continent in relatively peace, with their enhanced strength allowing them to dominate and docile the native races that fell before them, including primitive Humans and the Orcs. It was around this time that the Solarians organized themselves into a highly organized-but cruel Aristocrats that treated everything not elven as inferior, and held the Light in divine light. The Empire was far and wide, and the Solarians adapted to the growing need of administration by forming into their own Houses, the so-called Conclave that would rule the various parts of the Empire, and serve at the High-Queen whims.

House Palemane would become the only House that wasn't entirely binded to the Light, chosen to practice and sponsor the development of magick in its most raw form. As the Light was used through holy arts, many Solarians did not naturally have any reason to study to become mages - but what the Light lacked in raw power, the Mages of Palemane succeeded quite well in that field of research.
