Cultures

The Teled Elves have over the millennia divided into Cultures much like the Ailor have, with customs and traditions that transcend nationhood. While once most if not all resided within the (old) Allorn Empire, these Cultures express different ways to play a traditional Elf. Below are depicted various Cultures of Teled, hover your cursor over the text to read more about them. You should choose one dominant culture for your Character.

Amontaar Diplomatic Elves
Finul Maritime Elves
Bel Hammon Scholar Elves
Minoor Communal Elves
Solvaan Guardian Elves
Llasada Cutthroat Elves
Pelyon Knightly Elves
Presenna Priestly Elves
Lanlath Avenger Elves

-File:Neoallori.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Neo-Allorn Culture | Neo-Allorn Teled hail from nearly all states and nations that have Elves in them, but notably Val Allornavaal. They continue the pro-Magic and Imperial reclamation traditions of the fallen Allorn Empire and seek to establish the new Allorn Empire as a world power. Neo-Allorn are gracious, and poised but capable of deep insidious plotting and deceit. They seek conquest and glory for the Estelley Empresses.}} - Fascist Elves

-File:Amoni.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Amontaar Culture | Amontaar Teled hail from the city-state of Amontaar, a center of politics, commerce, and diplomacy. As a nexus between Empires, the people of Amontaar have always had to cultivate social networks and connections, a willingness to listen, and to pragmatically act and mediate to preserve their independence. Amontaar Teled frequently travel to Regalia to do political or economic business.}}

-File:Finelly.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Finul Culture | Finul Teled follow the example of Empress Finell, the patron of Bel Faiaal, who was a renowned sailor and passionate lover enjoying the good life. The Finul have abandoned the haughty and poised Allorn disposition in favor of wild, loud, and excitedly intimate or passionate expressions. The Finul can be found in any port, anywhere the sea touches, including Regalia, a maritime Empire.}}

-File:Belhammoni.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Bel Hammon Culture | Bel Hammon Teled hail from the similarly named mysterious hermit-kingdom, a magic-focused state with terrifying power that secures itself through dubious means. The Bel Hammon are mistrusted by the wider world, even denounced as evil immoral warlocks and scientist who care not for the value of life or morals in their pursuit for magical experimentation. Their magical cabal even reaches Regalia, where they too experiment.}}

-File:Minorielf.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Minoor Culture | Minoor Teled hail from Minoor Leria, a communal land where they have rejected nationhood, empires, and wealth. The Minoor live in accordance with the needs and capabilities of its people, an agrarian paradise from which the locals preach a return to simplicity and cooperative philosophy, and to reject approaching modernity. Many of them proselytize their own ideology in faraway lands, the Song of Communal Land.}}

-File:Splashelfsolv.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Solvaan Culture | Solvaan Teled are descendants of colonists who traveled far east to Solleria, a land shrouded in monster-filled mists, where they eventually integrated into the Ailor Regalian Empire, and became a cornerstone of its political and military landscape. The Solvaan are hunters and mercenaries, protectors of the people, and those who rejected the Allorn Empire's isolation in favor of cooperation with other peoples.}}

-File:Pirateelfy.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Llasada Culture | Llasada Teled are feared across the high seas. They were once Finul but were inspired by Prince Larason to turn away from Estelley worship, and into the maw of the Deep, an oceanic-horror faith. The Llasada are nearly exclusively pirates, corsairs, and cutthroats, taking from the weak what they can get their hands on, with their might-makes-right philosophy. They have even given parts of their body to the sea as merfolk.}}

-File:Perrionyr.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Pelyon Culture | Pelyon Teled are strongly intermingled with the Perrion Ailor in the similarly named lands, a chivalric knighthood-obsessed people who worship the concept of masculinity (regardless of gender) and have long abandoned delicateness in favor of brutishness and wroth. Their people serve in large mercenary armies, baptized in warfare, while their coin is spent on personal pleasures. Some still hold to Estelley, but most serve Regalia.}}

-File:Splashelflothan.png|{{#simple-tooltip: Lanlath Culture | Lanlath Teled are conscientious objectors, Elves who were so repulsed with the Allorn Empire's crimes against the Asha, that they rejected the Empire and fled into the Lathan dimension from where to build their peaceful cities. From there, their ethics changed, and they re-opened the gates of Lathan to act as the moral guidelight of the Elves, using their safe havens to sabotage and combat the old and new Allorn Empire.}}
