Races of Krynn
Elves -
Slimmer
and slightly shorter than humans, elves live to be up to 1200 years old. There
are five subraces of elves, Silvanesti, Qualinesti, Kagonesti, Dargonesti and
Dimernesti. The Silvanesti and Kagonesti are the oldest. The Elves were created
by Paladine.
In the Age of
Dreams, they defeated the evil Dragons, and took the forest Dragons left as
their home. In this area they formed a new kingdom called Silvanesti, under the
rule of the first Speaker of The Stars, Silvanos. But some Elves decided to
remain "wild", and followed their leader, Kagonos. They are known as
Kagonesti. After the Kinslayer war, Silvanesti split into 2 factions, the older
Silvanesti remaining in the forest named after them and the newer elves led by
Kith Kanan moving west to the forest of Qualinesti. The new kingdom of
Qualinesti is rule by the Speaker of the Sun. Kith Kanan became the first
speaker.
The Dimernesti and
Dargonesti are Sea Elves, products of the Graygem. With the exception of the
obvious, the Dargonesti resemble the Silvanesti in lifestyle and rule by Speaker
of the Moon. The other Sea Elves, the Dimernesti are more like the Qualinesti
and rule by Speaker of the Sea.
