Snow Elves

Mali'Fenn (Snow Elf) are High Elves who have become used to the colder climates. They have developed their own culture yet share the same blood as High Elves. The cold bothers them little, and their blue eyes are what make them stand out. They are most well known for their snowy climates in which they dwell, and the 'Ice Trees' which surrounded their homeland.

Apperance

Mali’Fenn have pale, sometimes even bluish skin. Their eyes can be any shade of blue, purple, or grey. Their skin is slightly cold to the touch, but not an icy cold; more like if an average person is slightly sick. This change in skin temperature is barely noticeable in most cases; in some, however, it can be hard to miss in others. The cold bothers them little, and they are capable of feeling normal in slightly colder temperatures, as their body systems are affected by thanhium to continue working in colder temperature, but not in warm. As such, heat affects them much more than it does the other races. If they remain in the heat too long, they will get very sick. Fire leaves more serious burns on them than it does any other race, making it their main weakness. The ears of the Mali’Fenn are also pointier and longer. Their other details are very similar to those of the other Elves, though they are generally shorter by a good foot or a foot and a half, their tallest being about normal and their shortest being about the same height as humans. Their hair colors range from almost any natural color, but usually is white or blonde. Rarely, but not impossible, a Snow Elf’s hair color may appear to be blue-ish, though few dye their hair.

Culture

The culture of the Mali’Fenn is centered around ice, snow, and the cold. They worship Wyvurn, the god of winter within the Dwarven Brathmordakin, and in some cases the Creator. They generally prefer the company of Dwarves and Northerners over the company of other Elves, as Dwarves and Northerners also live in the snow and respect the cold. Pastimes and festivities are often, and they are generally a cheery bunch of people. The Snow elf community is very open and lighthearted towards one another, and friendly to most nations and races. Snow elves are very close, they will almost always fight together until death separates them, they are very loving to one another and will do what they can to protect the people they love and care for the most. They are also very respectful, especially to elders, because they have the most wisdom out of all the snow elves. Respect also goes to the Noble Prince or Noble Princess, and the princes or princesses of Fenn. When a Mali’Fenn passes away, they are honored ceremoniously by not only their family, but by the Government and the society. They are taken outside, where they are laid on a bed of wool and silk, then frozen to preserve their body, so that they do not rot and maintain their natural beauty. This is done so that their body does not go from their original state when they died. If a Mali’Fenn goes missing, an ice statue of them is place where their grave would be if or when they are found. Snow Elves have also been known to combine words of the ancient Elven speech for convenience (ex. Fenn’thulith’tilok, etc.)

Different festivities and songs are known by Snow Elves; the Dance of Winter being the most widely known, but others also celebrated. Wyrvun's Return, a party held by the Noble Prince on the first of Snow's Maiden each year, celebrates the revival of Wyrvun.

The Snow Elven song most popularly sang during festivals and national anthem is called "Whispers of Snow". Fenn'asimilum had, but lost, the Elves of Snow travel again. Remembering those they once knew as friends, The Elves of Snow travel again.

Remember, Remember, Do you remember the snow? That day that He came to wash our fears away, We pray it will come again.

Remember, Remember, Do you know of those of old? Those that we once were those that we once knew, Do we really want all that again?

So we travel and sing and we look for a home, A place that we can just rest. We watch and we know that it will come forth again, A home within each our souls.

Law

Their laws are well documented, and kept safe. The most notable, during times of war, is the decree to kill those who can be, or have the appearance of a soldier of an opposing nation.

Social Structure

Political houses rule each given category of politics. Such as: economics, military, and the nation as an entirety (which is usually upheld to the Noble Prince's family).
