Editing Arcanis (section)

==Elorii==
The [[elorii]] are kind of what you might get if you mashed together [[ork]]s and [[eldar]], then found a way to justify such a fusion in a fantasy setting. Elorii are kind of the [[elf|elves]] of Arcanis, being androgynously beautiful, immortal beings. But they were created eons ago by [[Ssanu]] using a combination of [[fleshcrafting]] and an alliance with the five [[Archomental|Elemental Lords]] as a race of super-soldiers. Thus, all elorii mature rapidly - in ten years - but effectively live forever. They have redundant organs, including two hearts, making them really tough to kill. They get bigger as they age, gaining several inches and about 50 pounds every 1,000 years they live - since they literally ''don't die'' unless killed, the elders of the race are over 10 feet tall! Also, if you ''do'' kill an elorii, they reincarnate through the womb of another elorii, with all of their memories and skills passing on - the race's one weakness is that this means their numbers are fixed; they cannot increase the maximum number of elorii in existence, even if they can replenish their casualties quickly. They are divided into five subraces, based on which of the five Elemental Lords they are most attuned to; ''Ardakene'' (Life), ''Berokene'' (Water), ''Kelekene'' (Fire), ''Marokene'' (Earth), and ''Osalikene'' (Air).

As the slave-soldiers of the Yahssremoran Empire, the elorii genocided twelve sapient races in the primordial history of the world, an act that deeply scarred them. They overthrew their masters and created a benevolent empire that lasted for nearly two thousand years... then humanity showed up. The elorii initially allied with the newcomers, but humanity betrayed them; the human gods murdered four of the five Elemental Lords to steal their powers, and their human followers then attacked the delorii whilst they were off-guard, breaking their empire and sending them fleeing into the wilderness to rebuild.

Naturally, the elorii don't exactly think highly of humans in the present day...
