Ice Elves

==== The Ice Elves or as they are called in their language, Hyakki, are elves that are formally of or descended from the Amarion Empire. As the only major elf race derived from Eldham, the native Ice Elves are skilled hunters with either aggravated or neutral personalities. Their blood also has a special enchantment property to turn the Fire Aspect enchant into Blue Flames. ====

History
==== According to history, the Ice Elves derived from the Elven Migrations, but instead of settling in Rathnir, they kept looking for land and arrived in Eldham. As generations passed in the Tundra they took residence in, they started to mutate to their surroundings, gaining pale blue skin, white eyes, silver hair, stronger lungs, and resistance to frostbite. Their blood, unlike other elves, is a dark blue. ====

Over time, the Ice Elf tribes reunited to form the kingdom of Amarion, where they ruled most of the tundra of the northwest of Eldham. Evidence shows that throughout time, other races such as dwarves, orcs and humans joined, slowly making the kingdom diverse. Eventually, the beginning Ice Elf tribes became nobles, under families such as the Bryleth family, the Elaro family, the Yllafir family and the prominent Virhice family, who, through a vote through the citizens, became the ruling royal family.

This did not last long though, as the kingdom was split apart through feuds of the tribes. Each tribe had citizen backing, and they began the Amarion Civil War. Through this war, the population was cut down to a fifth of what it used to be, destroying the Amarion Kingdom and leaving the Ice Elves scattered, with the heir to the throne, Ruvaen Virhice, wandering the tundra.

Religion
Near all Ice Elves are or were followers of Astralism, the belief that every star in the sky is a god standing upon the Astral Plane watching them, judging them fit for the afterlife or not. It is said that if a ritual is followed, an elf may be purified under the astral plane and returned to the cradle, but most history of this was lost to time in the Amarion Civil War.
