Kylorne Elves (Uganyun Riryan)

Unganyun Riryan (Kylorne Elves)
Uganyun Riryan (Kylorne Elves) are a group of humanoid primates originating from the continent of Vaurutir. While the race has many sub-races scattered across Uganyun (Kylorne), they all originate from Vaurutir. Riryan are often seen as one unified race, but there are many different qualities to each individual sub-race. Riryan, while related to humans, have many different evolutionary traits while being as diverse as humans.

All riryan have an organ structure and organ systems similar to those of humans. They bleed, breath, eat, and drink the same. Their bone structure is similar as well aside from the ears. Their ears also form in a different way, shaping up to be pointy unlike the round human ears. Most riryan are known to be taller than the average human, but in some cases, such as the Obyun Riryan (Cave Elves), the elves can be much shorter than the average human.

Riryan are known to have magic flowing through their blood. This magic is known as “Yukyuto” in the native Tenyon language. Yukyuto can be viewed as part of an rirya’s soul. Yukyuto flows through the veins of all riryan and will until their passing. In some cases the rirya’s yukyuto will remain after death, which can cause the rirya to rise back from the grave and continue existing as a Baron Rirya (Death Elf). Baron Rirya are a very rare occurrence and only three have been seen. Yukyuto can be extracted from a rirya, but this would cause the death of any rirya.

Riryan are a highly adaptable race. They are known to change skin colour depending on their climates that they adapt to. Other physical or internal characteristics can change as well. A good example would be the Inpa Riryan (Lava Elves) that have dark gray or blackish skin with bright orange blood flowing through their veins that shines through their skin. Some riryan have even mixed in with other races, but this is a very rare circumstance.

Etymology
The word “Rirya” comes from the language of “Tenyon,” the native language to the Riryan (elves). The elves would have first contact with their human relatives on the island of Nubyu. This first contact was a fairly friendly encounter as both parties engaged in trade. During the encounter the humans called their newly met friends “elphes,” which would later be adapted to “elves” translating to Riryan in Tenyon. The word “Riryan” would be passed down over the years and would become recognized by the Riryanan Councils as their identity.

Ba Riryan (High Elves)
Ba Riryan (High Elves) were first encountered on Hiruna, an island in the South-West, while an elven tribe from Nubyu was on a hunt. These riryan were much taller than the normal rirya and had much lighter skin, along with pointier ears. In some cases there are Ba Riryan with darker skin, but this is very rare. Female Ba Riryan average height at around 7 feet, while the males average out at around 6 feet 5 inches. Their hair is usually white or extremely light blonde, while having red, purple, pink, green, or blue eyes.

Ba Riryan are long living people compared to the other Riryanan Subraces, growing to be around 500-600 years old, with maturity coming at around 50 years of age. They are considered to be middle-aged at around 300 years.

Ba Riryan were once the most populated sub-race of elves across Kylorne, but due to their “religious purity,” most of them never engaged in reproduction causing a collapse in their population. There were once around 500,000 Ba Riryan across the lands, yet now about 6,000 remain. Their people are beginning to reproduce again, so hopefully we shall see the rise in their population once more.

Unyun Riryan (Plains Elves)
Unyun Riryan (Plains Elves) were first spotted on the home island of Nubyu. These riryan can be found roaming the same areas as the Ba Riryan (High Elves). Unyun Riryan are one of the most common sub-races of riryan. Their population is estimated at around 650,000. This group has managed to spread from the plains of Vaurutir to the continent of Lázzeatir.

The female Unyun Riryan averages at around 6 feet and males average at around 6 feet 3 inches. Their lifespan averages at around 200-300 years, while they mature at the age of 20. They are considered to be middle aged at the age of 100. The Unyun Riryan are considered to have the most average lifespan of all sub-races of Uganyun Riryan (Kylorne Elves). Unyun Riryan have a beige skin shade, with brown or blonde hair pigments. Their eyes can be green, blue or brown.

The Unyun Riryan, while not having a formal nation to call home, have started many different tribal villages across the lands of Uganyun (Kylonre). If you happen to run into these people then feel free to engage in conversation. Unyun Riryan are a friendly grouping of peoples that are almost always willing to engage in trade.
