Star Elves

Parent Race: Elf

Note: The Star Elves are considered an extinct race. While their descendants, the High Elves and the Underground Elves, still carry fragments of their legacy, Star Elves should not be used as a playable race by new characters.

The Star Elves, or Sira’nai, were a contemplative elven race descended from the First Elves (L’nai), and were considered the most intellectual and phylosophical of the elven races in the early ages. Originating form the lost continent of Aurel, they pursued cosmic order through celestial study, mathematical systems, and contemplation. Their society emphasized logic, restraint, and intellectual refinement, serving as the primary shapers of ancient science tradition.

Their name is often translated as “Star Kindred” or “Light-Bound,” though they did not revere light as divinity. Instead, they treated the heavens as a source of measurement, orientation, and knowledge—an intellectual framework rather than a belief system.

Sira’nai society emphasized observation, balance, and the pursuit of arcane truth through architecture, linguistics, and astronomy. While never populous or militaristic, their influence deeply shaped the institutions of later elven lineages.

Following a slow cultural dissolution, the Sira’nai fragmented into distinct populations. These lineages—Vel’nai, Dor’nai, and Mor’nai—each inherited portions of Sira’nai philosophy, settling different regions and evolving into new identities. Though the Sira’nai are no longer extant, their intellectual legacy persists in arcane law, temple astronomy, and the educational traditions of High Elves.
