------------- Paleurevalla

Amongst the Sylvisan elves, there are many cultures and many kingdoms. Those commonly called wood elves make up the majority of the elves that humans might normally encounter. Though the Zeigus live within human societies, they are few in number and growing fewer all the time. The Pouarr stay to their tribal lands and the great plains and even they are dwindling. Most humans will never see a Delsian or an Acriss elf. And story has it the Drow and the Drovik are heading for extinction at each other’s hands. All the other elven races, the so-called lost races, are little more than footnotes in history. But the Sylvisan, they are as plentiful as the trees in the forests.

Ages past, when elves first came to Callona, they scattered. Most moved to places of solace amongst the forests. They became Sylvisan. Those who headed north evolved along those lines as well, but their culture changed significantly. No longer did they worship the ancient elven Gods, the Seldarine. Rather, they took up worship of the Hergovite Gods. In time, they became part of Hergovite legend and myth. They became the Paleurevallans, those who would ascend to Alfhiem, the chosen of Frey, worshippers of the Vanir even before the Aesir-Vanir War.

In stature and intellect, a Paleurevallan is no different than any other Sylvisan. In skills and talent, the same. But in honor and faith, sword and shield, lodge and ship, they are Hergovite to the bone. And so too do the Hergovites count them as allies. Where the unending battle against the Jouten, the Q’llani, the Thanoi, the Tarkanians and the Wolf Hordes are concerned, the Paleurevallan elves are trusted to be right there, fighting and dying along side their human kinsmen. For a glorious death in battle is the only assured way into Valhalla.
