Every aspect of Etheos, from rivers to forests to the people themselves, is said to pulse with this unseen current. Shaping elves into a people who live in harmony with natural forces. This spiritual bond, combined with their innate elegance, has produced a culture both refined and competitive, where excellence is expected and achievement is celebrated.
