 And so, this stagnation - set into their conservative kind near the end of the Third Age - defines the beginning of their distinct and documented history, starting with their migration west to the land they now consider their eternal home: Vendigad.
-The Hyr'norai fragmented around fifteen hundred years before the current time, and much of these first few centuries were spent establishing Vendigad as a new home to forage, learn and slowly develop. As this all occurred during the rise of the Unbroken Empire and the genocide of the Sil'norai to the east, the High Elves were quickly caught in global affairs. The largely divided, then-nomadic groups of Hyr'norai followed a policy of tribal confederacies, fighting the Unbroken Empire through evasion, guerrilla tactics and the utilization of their endless swathes of forest and their skill in archery, subversion and magic. Vendigad, despite holding very few people at the time, managed to retain their independence from the Empire and utilized this sense of accomplishment as a foundation for nationalism and the growth of a true Hyr'norai identity.

 The most decisive Hyr'norai victory over the Empire at the battle of Amoren signified the true reconstruction of High Elven unity, and not long after the people confederated into a singular Kingdom named after the forest overlooking their realm. Traditions of old met with imperious desires to grow and expand, and these converging systems of belief quickly saw Vendigad secure its borders while maintaining stability in internal affairs.

 ''Racial Ability:'' Lothas: An ancient ability, Hyr'norai are capable of illuminating any non-living object they can touch, providing these items with a burning intensity. This increases the brightness of the object exponentially, imbuing it with a golden and glaring hue, which can be used to light the Hyr'norai's path in darkness or even for other things, such as making a weapon painfully bright. Additionally, it adds a painful burn to those objects when coming in contact with a Hyr'norai's foe, even capable of inflaming objects if used by a particularly powerful Hyr'norai. Unfortunately, this ability is as useful as it is necessary, as Hyr'norai have the worst 'darkvision' of any of Atharen's races; even in moonlight they struggle to see, with vaguely dark conditions appearing almost pitch black.

-Religion is a very important aspect of Hyr'norai life, and tends to revolve around two separate pantheons: the Living Gods and the [[Elven_Gods|Eldhan Weald]], or Elven Gods. Among the Living Gods Y'shendra is the most beloved, followed by Venadak even despite his Corruption, and these two Gods each act as honorary members within the Elven pantheon. Almost all Hyr'norai, regardless of where they live or to which ideology they subscribe, appear to hold deference and love for Y'shendra and Venadak. As Y'shendra is literally the force behind their creation and Venadak is a paternal figure for their race, the Hyr'norai have modeled much of their culture and representation after the gilded nature of these beings.

 After these two Living Gods come an uncanny admiration for an ancient pantheon, followed by the Elves since the First Age. These gods are Lotheric, God of the Brine, Tyrnac, God of Glass, Veratelle, God of the Thicket, Ridhain, God of Mold, and Lachrann, God of Fungus. Often considered genderless and disturbingly alien in form, these five are seen as benign forces of nature to whom the Elves owe their civility, their connection to magic and their continued survival. There are countless documented events of the Elven Gods sacrificing their own vitality to defend their 'kin', as they are often called, showing a depth of affection unmarred by self-interest.
-The Elven Gods are revered as aspects of the world, necessary in order for its functioning. They are worshiped for the apparent prosperity they bequeath upon those beneath them, and also to stave off their lethal and vindictive wroth. Interestingly enough, their existence is well documented, scholarly journals recounting tales of their morbid vigor. While they do not possess nearly the same power and influence as the 'Greater' Gods may, the Eldhan Weald exist in pockets of nature and still seek for their tendrils to clutch ever wider spaces of the world.

 Most Hyr'norai believe - with undeniable evidence - that the Elven Gods were much more prominent before the Age of Man, with their habitats being destroyed for industrial purposes. They were only further weakened during the Bleeding, particularly as many of them had rooted themselves into Sil-Elaine. The majority of these amorphous monstrosities have now moved from their original domains, and through time they have began to regain their foothold on the world, inciting lesser Adac to join their flock.
