The Phoenix Elves differ much from their kin who populate the rest of Itharia. They are a bitter people, having even built a religion formed around resentment for their place in the world. They dwell in the fiery tunnels and caverns of Mount Carrannon far to the frozen north. Phoenix Elf society is rigid and obsessed with skilled accuracy. “Measure once and cut once,” is a chiding mantra typically said with disdain towards the other peoples of the world.
In their fiery halls, they plot against the rest of Itharia when they are not consumed with plotting against each other. Queen Maldaria rules the faction, though she has only recently regained full control, following an insurrection by her son, the now exiled Prince Elien. The civil war lasted a scant two months, yet the full cost of the royal betrayal has yet to truly be revealed.
