Wild elf nobles

Description

A wild elf shaman and a Prince, both nobles from their tribes.

The Wild Elves from the continent of Zarhuy originated during the High Elven age of Hegemony, when the elven Empire of Whide Axis expanded over the continents of Aels and Zarhuy:

Despise being part of an empire under the command of an Emperor, the Whide Axis was really a loose confederation of quite different states, organised under a macro structure, and some of his contradictions and confronted interests where pretty clear during the colonisation of the rediscovered lands of their ancestors to the east:

As new colonies, kingdoms and settlements of High Elves where founded, many times they raced against each other in the conquest of barbarians -non-High elves- and monsters -non-elves-, and these new states governments where often very different between them.

The lack of political union, aside from when needed to suppress rebellions and challenges to their power (as wars with the Wollumis, the Savage Elves, or the long Orc-High elven war) was one of the great reasons for their fall:

After the Apparition of Humanity, and with the following Age of Invasions, the settlements, kingdoms and colonies weren't ready, and they where divided and their forces scattered:

Some flee, back to Ushaenor, before the ports where lost... other escaped to the larger and more powerful kingdoms, as Vanilion, or regrouped in the secret hidden kingdom between the inaccessible mountains of Rhonion... most of them, however, weren't so lucky.

Over 1.000 years of domination and oppression make their enemies specially resented, and many where killed or enslaved...

but always, somebody survived, and from the smoking ashes of the fallen kingdoms of the High Elves of Zarhuy, rise the Wild and sand elves, as well the Im'Salanos.

From various nations and cultures, the "wild elves", become nomads or semi-nomads, afraid of their enemies, and it take long time before they, slowly, began some of their tribes to be sedentary again, and work the land.

Due their diverse past, there where quite differences between the wild elves tribes:

And some of them, like the ones here, keep their aristocracy, nobles, and the figure of a king... despise, normally the elves, due their long lives, had short lived kings -not everybody want to wait for the succession-
