Lore
-
Elsin are a race of agile Aphex that are mostly found in naturally dense areas of wilderness or villages. They are incredibly quick and flexible, allowing them to easily dash from threats and traverse difficult terrain with ease. Aside from their agility, Elsin have a strong connection with nature. They can mentally connect with the plantlife around them, sensing danger and incoming signals from the interconnected flora of the forest.
One of Elsin's most prominent features is their horns, a unique growth upon their heads that is more plant than flesh. These crests sit upon their heads in unique patterns and shapes. Pollen unique to the Elsin covers their horns, containing bioluminescent properties that allow them to glow at will. When their crests glow, their pollen gently releases from the horns, leaving a glittering trail of light in it's wake. These trails have been known to guide the lost, warn of danger, or even serve as a courting gesture. An Elsin's crest is its pride, and they take special care to avoid damaging their horns on branches or other obstacles.
Being mostly plant, these crests can have some unusual properties. When an Elsin has chosen their mate, they will often graze their crests together, sharing their unique pollen with one another. This causes flowers to bloom upon their heads, signalling their commitment to their partner. Some Elsin prune their flowers for aesthetic reasons, while other may collect flowers from their forests to adorn their heads if their partner is not an Elsin.
Elsin also have the unique ability to change into their Wildform. This form has the body of a deer and the head of an Elsin. This form allows Elsin to traverse their environments with much more precision and speed than their bipedal forms allow. These forms are culturally important to the Elsin, and are often depicted in their scriptures and artworks. Elsin can not last long in their Wildforms, but with practice, they can hold this form for up to four hours.Tainted by hands that we do not call home.
Back towards a land of memories that are not my own.
Wet and humid like you say,
Tell me everything will be okay.
Seasons change while I pray.
I follow, but you stay away.
A crude depiction of nature.
Tell me everything will be okay.
A touch, a song.
So far we have come along.
Steps in time, we will soon decay.
You say everything will be okay.
Elsin Pollen
-
Elsin pollen is one of the most treasured natural remedies found in Elyxium. The glowing powder sheds softly from their horned crests, especially when an Elsin's horns glow, or they move with purpose, drifting behind them like living light. When collected, it can be used to soothe pain, calm stressed minds, and encourage wounds to close faster than normal regeneration. Though it cannot reverse death or mend what has been destroyed, it is widely respected as a gentle healing gift of the Elsin tribes.
Some Elsin may collect their pollen when it has layered too densely over time, usually storing it away for emergencies or gifts for others. Great pride is taken in their pollen, as each Elsin's pollen may have a slightly unique effect on the user. Effects range from stress relief, pain soothing, calming a racing heart, or encouraging small wounds to mend more cleanly. Some pollen may carry a warmer glow and ease exhaustion, while others may feel cool against the skin and settle fevers or irritation. Because of this, it is often treated as a precious restorative rather than a cure-all, and gifting it to another is seen as a deeply personal act of trust and care.
