-==== Aethen Sige Tel (Snow Elves) ====
-**Origins and History:** After losing the war, the High Elves (Ibarhean Empire/Elves) *not sure I spelled that right* moved to the lands which the Mercurians had ignored. Many of the individual tribes split up and went their separate ways, many never to be seen again. One specific sect of elves traveled to the northern lands where the Mercurians dared not settle due to the harsh conditions of the climate and environment.
-They took up shelter underground because the surface proved too harsh an adversary to overcome. Many of the original settlers died soon after arriving due to not being able to adapt to their brutal new home. Their numbers dropped to only a few hundred that were able to adapt to the wastes that were now their place of living.
-Spending so much time underground caused their skin to fade and adopt a very pale tone. Those that lived evolved quickly. Their lifetime halved from that of the Ibarhean Elves and theirs eyes became better suited for seeing in the darkness of the underground. Eventually they developed the technology to surface for parts of the day, but the damage to their appearance had already been done.
-**Appearance:** Their skin appears as white as the snow that they live in, usually with black, grey, or rarely blonde hair. Their eyes are large and bright blue, and they have the traditional long pointed ears of the High Elves. Naturally sharp nails akin to claws have also developed on them, though they are usually trimmed to be rounded. They measure up to the average Mercurians in height
-**Estimated population size and spread:** After the resurgence of the elves in Hermertia, they generally inhabit most of the northern and central regions of the empire, with numbers in the tens of thousands.
-**Particularities:** The Aethen are a very proud race due to their heritage and success in the face of adversity. They do not want to be pitied or given special treatment due to the ideals and failures of their ancestors. They wish to restore the Aethen race to its once great status, but to do so in their own way to separate themselves from those before them.
-Every Aethen is trained to fight from a very early age. The culture is very individual driven in that you are expected to be able to fend for yourself and not rely on those around you if need be. Though they are also encouraged to offer their talents for the greater good of the race and the kingdom.
-Mostly all of the Aethen are highly religious and all follow the same ideals and gods of the Aethen Sige Tel. Because of this religion, they see themselves as superior beings to all other races and though there are other races living within DorEryn, the communities are usually very segregated. The Mercurian humans are seen as the highest form of life coming in just below themselves, but orcs, dwarves, and other odd minorities are all seen as subraces and treated with extreme disgust and sometimes violence on sight.

 ===== Dwarves =====
-==== Common Dwarves ====

-**Origins and History:**
+  * [[wiki:races:mittilari|Mittilari]]
-**Appearance:** Dwarves are admittedly of a smaller stature than most men, but their stocky and muscular build tends to bring them to about equal weights. They tend to have long hair kept in braids.
-**Estimated population size and spread:** Approximately 30,000 dwarves live within the empire, though estimates are historically unreliable. They are mostly concentrated in the realms of Ardol and the Duroth Commonwealth, though they are present in small numbers in other realms.
-**Particularities:** Dwarves are an extremely developed race with long-held traditions. Their life expectancy is nearly twice that of men, with disputable upper limits. Their intelligence, at its best, is directly comparable to the best of Men's, but tends to be more reserved and patient. At its worst, Dwarves are stubborn, solemn, and often refuse to work together. However, the dimmest of Dwarves tend to be content spending their lives in the mines, so they are rarely seen.
-Dwarves live primarily underground, but hold no real reservations for exploring the surface or heights (they often frequent mountaintops for fresh air). It is not quite understood to Men why Dwarves insist on building and living underground. Similarly, Dwarves do not understand many of Men's quirks, such as privatization within a community.
-Dwarves are not provoked easily, but are tireless and stalwart warriors, making up for their typically slow marches with brilliant resource and force allocation, as well as a large industrial backbone to grind out the necessities of war when needed.
-==== Mittilari ====
-**Origins and History:** a dwarven people that lived in isolation until their discovery by Casadian explorers in 530 A.I., little is known about the Mittilari. Casadian scholars embedded in their society have gleaned one important historical detail: the Mittilari were once a more widespread people, but suffered a great catastrophe that drove them into hiding.
-**Appearance:** the Mittilari have the short, stocky build typical of most dwarves. Unlike other dwarves, however, the Mittilari shave their heads, likely in an effort to keep cool in the heat of the jungle.
-**Estimated population size and spread:** the exact population of Mittilari is unknown, but it seems they live exclusively in the southern jungles of Casadia.
-**Particularities:** the Mittilari are a secretive and cautious people with little desire to trust outsiders. Their secretive nature is believed to have arisen after the great cataclysm that sent their people in to hiding. Little is known about their social structure other than that their leaders are the priests of the local temple. They worship a strange crystal called the Tarmoq, which they say keeps the evil that nearly destroyed their people at bay.
