Name: Kille’zea

Other Names: Crystal Elves

Meaning of Name: People of the crystal growth

Origins: The Kille’zea origins is rather an unknown and mysterious kind. As the Kille’zea would have said, they were “born” from the Master Crystal. But if you gained enough trust from the Kille’zea as a whole, then the history goes much deeper. The island they lived on many many years ago, contained low natural resources. Specifically, food. The Kille’zea lived as high elves at the time, as a tribe. This tribe, due to running low on natural resources, moved further up the mountain. Week after week, day after day, many of this tribe have died on this journey due to this. Upon moving to the upper parts of the mountain, the tribe enters a cave. There, they find the cave filled with crystals that have sustainable nutrients for life. Due to their desperation to live and not die from starvation, they eat the crystals. There they stayed, and there, they changed. Due to eating many of the crystals to survive, the few remaining of the tribe started to adapt to it, where eating these crystals became a need. As this occurred, the consumption of the crystals caused slow physical mutations, causing their skin to turn blue as well as their hair. Over the years they grew drawn to a very large crystal, in which they call, the Master Crystal. This is due to that the Master Crystal provides endless amounts of food for the Kille’zea, which they believed helped create who they are. If the Master Crystal is harmed or even breaks, the Kille’zea will lose their supply of food, and they will also go after the person who caused a crack or even caused the crystal to break and kill that person or race. Note: This is ONLY known to the Kille’zea, their weakness.

Location: Rirath and Suhirak in crystal caves.

Appearance: The Kille’zea have a rather unique appearance than most elves have. These elves stand at a height of 5’8” to 6’1” when fully grown, being the smallest of all the elves. They weigh about 135 to 175 lbs. All Kille’zea have blue skin, ranging in many different tones. Their hair is often blue as well, but their hair is more darker than their skin color. The Kille’zea have only three eye colors, green, blue, and yellow. Other colors are uncommon and makes those who have those colors become shunned from society and be treated like they are impure. Most Kille’zea see this as an uncommon trait which is hardly seen among their own. Kille’zea also have blue tattoos which is quite often seen among this race, that glow whenever they are around a large crystal. Their skin is cool to touch, the Kille’zea being very used to the cold and the snow. The common clothing of the Kille’zea is wearing tribal blue, or white robes, and they often carry a large staff about their height which contains a small crystal inside the head of the staff. Each Kille’zea also contains a crystal, which they often conceal.

Culture:

-Government-
The Kille’zea government is run by one Kille’zea, who is often of the oldest and wisest of their kind. Believing that the oldest are often the wisest, the Kille’zea treat them with high respect. The Elder, as they call them, makes the final decision in choosing for their race, like entering a war or getting involved in conflicts. The Elder also makes sure that society within their small villages and temples runs smoothly.

-The Master Crystal-
The Master Crystal is a rather large blue glowing crystal which the Kille’zea take great care in guarding. For the reason of providing an endless amount of food and transforming into what they are today. It has been in the cave for generations after generations, with the Kille’zea believing the Master Crystal contains much history. It’s powers and purposes, however, are unknown to the other races and are only known to the Kille’zea.

-Act and Relationship towards Other Races-
The Kille’zea greet each other and talk in a rather formal way, often bowing in greetings and farewells only when they trust a certain individual. They treat other races with suspicion, due to being a neutral race and not wanting to get involved in conflict, and due to the Kille’zea not wanting ANY race to get close to their crystals. If a crystal on a Kille’zea shatters, they will die, and if the Master Crystal shatters, they will lose their food supply and eventually die.

-Code of Law/Honor-
Never harm another Kille’zea without a valid reason
Treat your kind with respect
Take pride into protecting your home and your people
Help however you can with your people
Do not involve the Kille’zea in a war without everyone’s consent

-Celebrations and Holidays-

Rebirth Festival (Nenaja’fi) - There are two types of this festival, a spring and a winter, both with different purposes. The Spring festival celebrates the spirits of the Kille’zea and the hopes of bringing hope, and happiness to the lost souls to guide them to the afterlife. They often have performances (such as dancers, magicians, and singing tribal songs) which surrounds the Master Crystal, and a huge feast filled with delicious food. The Winter Festival occurs every winter when a Kille’zea is born. This celebrates the birth of a Kille’zea, each born with a crystal, and gives that Kille’zea gifts to celebrate. Happens once a year. Main Color: Light Blue, Dark Blue

The Glowing Wish Festival (Goenth’fi) - This festival allows the Kille’zea to make a wish on what they want to do in life (usually in the form of a lantern flower) and celebrate the creation of the crystals. Once the feast and performances are finished, the Kille’zea gather and release their flowers into a river stream to be free and flowing into the ocean. Main Color: White

The Coming of the Age Festival - Each time when a Kille’zea reaches the age of 13, 16, or 20, the Kille’zea celebrate this as the Coming of the Age. When this happens there are usually parties, dances, and performances, and depending on the age, the Kille’zea have a challenge to complete when they reach those ages. At 13, the Kille’zea must go through a maze and solve the puzzles and clues instructed. At 16, the Kille’zea have a battling tournament to determine which of the Kille’zea is the most fit of them all. At 20, the Kille’zea travel out of their homes to do a celebrative hunt outside near the caves they live in. Main Color: Blue, White, Yellow, Green.

Other: Will not be playable unless discovered on the islands they live on inside the caves.
