Race Huldefolk
lso known as Alfr, Aelf, Ylfe, Ese, Elbe. Once the epitome of enlightenment and responsibility, Huldefolk civilization has fallen before the expansive nature of Man. Where once the Huldefolk nations ruled the forests, the plains and the mountains, their now-small numbers live in secret enclaves, possessing great power but utterly impotent in matters of projecting it. In addition, the empire-spanning Huldefolk religion of Christianity is breaking up, struggling against the rising pagan cults and sorcerous cabals of Man. Their attitude towards man is not unified. Some see Man as the natural heir to creation and seek to guide him and help him rule in wisdom. Most see Man as a great blight, and work to destroy him before he destroys all natural order. And some, considered young and foolish by their people, walk amongst Man.
