Reka Elves

The Reka or River Elves are a race of  wandering elves native to Eldham. They are a nation-less group who find themselves trying to fit in the other nations. However, most Reka Elves can be found in Morgenreich.

History
While there are not many texts on the Reka elves, they share a common pattern amongst all the elves, having originated from the times of the Elven Migrations. Before becoming Reka elves, they were elves from different similar ethnic groups who had become separated from the rest or willingly chose to leave their group behind during and after the migration. In this time some of them would intermingle each other, and for many years this pattern occurred until the Reka elves had become a melting pot of distinctive physical and internal features.

They found themselves settling near large bodies of freshwater and rivers, earning their current name. After some time they became shunned by the rest of the elves, further driving them into a state of isolation. Their true evolution began when they were met by Uelia, The goddess of the Rivers who blessed them with the ability to breath underwater, and become one of her kin.

Culture
Every 4 full moons the Reka elves dress in colorful attire, similar to colorful freshwater fish and begin the ritual of the Fish Lady (in their language: TBA).

Appearance
Like all elves, Reka elves have long pointy ears. However, unlike the others, there is more variation to the shape of the ears. Because of the mixture of genetics between the outcasted members of the different  similar elven groups, they had developed different ear shapes, from really curly to folded and straight ears. Their hair is almost never of one color, for many of the members have highlighs of a different shade or color due to becoming the kin of Uelia. Their eyes are bright in color and extremely colorful, with some examples being eyes the color of a rainbow. Some also share fish-like traits.
