 ''Racial Ability:'' Sundered: After being saturated in ethereal energy for so long, magic for the Sil'norai is a volatile if comely element. Sil'norai have learned to endure the effects of Magithermal Entropy's greatest consequence, Mageblight, better than other races. The Sil'norai have garnered an inherent resistance to such backlash through their exposure to radioactive ether, allowing them to expend ether to the point of Overstepping with fewer consequences. This gives them a small edge over other mages, who must demonstrate a modicum more caution when learning magic. This also marginally decreases the risk of death from magical initiation, meaning they are more commonly mages than other races, at least outside of Sil-Elaine.
-''Population:'' 4,000,000 - Interestingly, there are nearly as many Half-Sil'norai as there are Sil'norai, with the majority of them living in Daravin. These half-bloods do not count towards the total population of the Sil'norai, but number around three million.

 =Religion and Worship=
-Sil'norai religion is a complex topic, one that involves a great deal of misunderstanding and deliberate repression of truth. Ages ago, before the advent of the Dranoch, Elainian society was among the most fervent in the world -- but not in the worship of the Living Gods. They held their own pantheon, the Eldhan Weald, commonly referred to as the [[Elven Gods]]. While all Elves piously followed these Gods even after their schism, it was the Sil'norai who held a truly special relationship with them. The Elven Gods refused to surrender their home-land, viewing Daravin as the sacred place of their birth. Ultimately, however, they had failed in the war against human insurgence, and they were expelled.
+Sil'norai religion is a complex topic, one that involves a great deal of misunderstanding and deliberate repression of truth. Ages ago, before the advent of the Dranoch, Elainian society was among the most fervent in the world -- but not in the worship of the Living Gods. They held their own pantheon, the Eldashan, commonly referred to as the [[Elven Gods]]. While all Elves piously followed these Gods even after their schism, it was the Sil'norai who held a truly special relationship with them. The Elven Gods refused to surrender their home-land, viewing Daravin as the sacred place of their birth. Ultimately, however, they had failed in the war against human insurgence, and they were expelled.
 But they, and the Sil'norai, were like-minded. Emerging from this mutuality, the Sil'norai forged a pact with the Gods of Old to reclaim their homeland through time - one day. The majority of these Gods therefore decided to settle in Sil-Elaine, all save for Ridhain who moved to guide and foster the [[Hyr'Norai]] who he viewed as his mission to protect. Lachrann at first migrated outward to seek the [[Druskai]] of Mornoth, who she sought to foster like her own, though with time many of them returned to Sil-Elaine with her after the Elven God had been hunted viciously by human magi.

 As a result, the four remaining Elven Gods dwelt with the Sil'norai in their new land, and acted in their defense as time carried on. They acted almost as agents of the Sil'norai monarchy, defending their borders from raiders and their seas from piracy, and they tightened the bond between the Sil'norai and the Druskai to foster new alliances that would serve them well in later years. The role of the Elven Gods in Elainian society was broad and intense; they were always acting on behalf of those they viewed as their children, and in turn they were loved and revered.
-But as is the source of many changes, the Bleeding came and the Elven Gods were struck hard by it - just like their people. Being in Sil-Elaine, so near to the impact, all of them save for Ridhain were damaged greatly by the blast and were mired in corruption. For reasons still unknown to the world, Veratelle was struck especially hard by the Bleeding and effectively died in the impact, leaving a gaping void in the faith of the Eldhan Weald. Many believe this was due to her form - that of a large tree at the heart of Sil-Elaine - being directly struck by the blast, with the millions of trees surrounding her utterly razed and demolished. Lachrann was forced to flee after absorbing a great deal of corrupted ether, poisoned seemingly beyond saving and with the newly risen Dranoch intent on allowing her death.

 Lotheric and Tyrnac have remained in Sil-Elaine, but since the rise of the Dranoch, most Elven historical records have subsided. Some elderly Sil'norai still speak of the Elven Gods in a benign and loving way, but Sil'norai are taught by their masters to view the Elven Gods as little more than horrific beasts opposed to the continuation of their society. Those who do encounter Tyrnac or Lotheric in the wild, however, or Veratelle's many spirits in the forests of their dying realm... tend to find that the Elven Gods remain kind to them, and continue to act as their guides. As a result, as Elainian society grows more decentralized and as Dranoch power wanes, more and more Elves have begun to return to their historical faith.

 Outside of this, there is a significant sector of the Sil'norai that worship [[Malek]] due to his aide in their fight against the Dranoch. While all such practice must be hidden in mainstream Sil'norai society, it is common that the Sil'norai pray to Malek in silence, seeking liberation from the chains given to them.
-Finally, outside of Sil-Elaine, there are two categories of Sil'norai that tend to walk diverging paths on religion and piety. There are Sil'norai who have long since fled Sil-Elaine, or perhaps even existed as small diaspora in other nations before the Bleeding, and then there are those who have recently fled their oppressive Kingdom. The older Sil'norai communities, born into freedom, tend to worship the Elven Gods openly and with great festivity to their practice, some even making pilgrimage to Vendigad to view the last realm truly dominated by the Eldhan Weald, and of course to look upon Lachrann herself.

-Then, there are Elves who have fled Sil-Elaine in their lifetime. These Sil'norai tend to seek a re-connection to their old roots, and often they carry many questions that other faiths may sometimes answer. Those who do return to the faith of the Eldhan Weald sometimes even return to Sil-Elaine, seeking to join Lotheric and Tyrnac in their mission to regain Elven glory. Often, they move to Daravin, fascinated by the nostalgia of dwelling in their homeland and often taking on extremist religious ideals. Such as that homeland's violent re-acquisition.
