Another Elf - Kariju Trio

Countless millennia ago, when the known world was populated mainly by elves of the ancient Andervan culture, large groups began to travel, exploring the world in the era before mankind. They spread across the known world and across the ocean to the east.

While the elves of the west split into the Ebregraven of the northern Dersali Forest and the hearty Hantirre of the southwestern plains, elves far to the east kept their ancestral dark skin and nomadic culture.

During the cataclysmic events leading to the destruction of Vhirat and Siraj, these elves left for western shores. Arriving in Lorentia once more, they became known as the Kariju, a word from their own tongue meaning "wanderers."

The Kariju have now lived this way for twelve centuries, able to watch the world around them change from the fractured realms that existed after the collapse of the last Holy Empire to the powerful nations of the present.
