The Dragon-Kin, much like their counterparts, the Phoenix Kin, are not a distinct race on their own. Instead, they are a collective term used to describe various races within Panja who share a connection to the awe-inspiring dragons. In this case, the Dragon-Kin are represented primarily by a single race: the elves. However, within the elves, there exist two distinct variations that contribute to the diversity within the Dragon-Kin category.
Elves: Elves are an enigmatic and ancient race on Panja, intrinsically tied to the grand tapestry of dragon history. While they are technically a single race, they manifest in two distinct variations, each carrying its own unique characteristics and cultural nuances. I will go into more detail later
These elves are known for their agility and are revered for their exceptional marksmanship and proficiency in archery. Their keen senses make them skilled trackers, adept at navigating the intricate depths of their woodland homes.
High Elves: High Elves, in stark contrast to their Elf counterparts, gravitate towards the lofty peaks of Panja's mountain ranges. They have a strong connection to the elemental forces, particularly the skies and the winds. High Elves are renowned for their aptitude in magic, often specializing in air and lightning-related spells. I will go into more detail later
With a keen intellect and a thirst for knowledge, High Elves have played pivotal roles in the development of arcane arts and technological advancements throughout Panja. They are revered for their grand cities perched atop the mountain peaks, offering breathtaking views of the world below.
Shared Connection: While Wood Elves and High Elves each have their unique attributes, they are both bound by their shared heritage as Dragon-Kin. This connection is ingrained in their history, as they are descendants of dragons that infused their magic and essence into the creation of the elves. Consequently, both Wood Elves and High Elves carry a deep respect for dragons, often viewing them as ancient ancestors and protectors of their races.
The Dragon-Kin, represented by the two variations of elves, occupy a cherished place in the annals of Panja's history. Their profound connection to the dragons and the distinct qualities of Wood Elves and High Elves contribute to the rich diversity of the world they inhabit.
