Elf / Elven / Fey

There are various traditions available to you, the Lord Ruler, that allow you to shape the Elven people as you wish. These can be discovered through Expeditions or by performing a Blessing Ritual. Not all of the following traditions are actually implemented, but are planned.

List of Traditions

The Old Ways

This culture is ancient and mysterious, looking to the past for guidance. It knows that there are secrets to be found in the past, and that the old ways are often the best ways.

Elf Craftsmanship

This culture has a long tradition of perfecting the trades, and their artisans are renowned for their skill and attention to detail. Their works are often highly sought after, and thus their craftsmen are often in high demand.

Adventurer Guilds

This culture craves exploration and the satisfaction of discovery. They have institutionalized this desire into a network of guilds that sponsor aspiring explorers in their journeys to seek out new lands and rediscover what has been lost.

Tribal Ascension

Only a castle dweller would believe that living true to the old ways is limiting. Simple does not mean weak, it means pure. The people of this culture are strong and proud, and they will not be held back by the trappings of the civilized world.

Fey Agoras

Elves of this culture have great respect for their thought leaders. Large crowds gather daily in the city of Agoras to hear philosophers and scholars debate the great questions of the day. They see the world in terms of logic and fallacy.

Beast Tamers

This culture has a long history of domesticating and breeding beasts, carefully crafting powerful and loyal creatures that almost appear to be an extension of their owner.

Woodland Bounty

This culture has a long history of living in the woods. They have learned to harness the power of the woods and use it to their advantage.

People of the Bow

To this culture, there isn't a more fundamental test of excellence than one's mastery with the bow. Most have practiced relentlessly since early childhood and the elite guard that this people fields in battle is truly unrivaled.

Blessings

Blessings are the other type of tradition you may incorporate into your people.

Rather than re-discovering lost traditions, blessings are gifts bestowed upon your people by the Divine Spark, a god like entity of the universe. They can potentially be more powerful but may have... odd effects. Some of these you may not find strictly beneficial. For now they can be acquired by completing a ritual decision but that may change around in future updates.

The Rut

The Divine Spark gains power through the creation of life and so to further that cause, it makes its will known. Fertile members of this culture are not so subtly pushed by the Divine Spark to be prosperous and multiply.

Noble Husbandry

This culture obsesses over their bloodlines and the purity of their stock. Their careful practice of eugenics has led to a culture of nobles who are physically and mentally superior to the common folk.

Divine Inspirations

The artisans of this culture are of the highest class. The Divine Spark has blessed them with the ability to create works of art that are truly otherwordly. Their works are often imbued with magical properties, and are highly sought after by the wealthy and powerful.

Heroic Courage

This culture values bravery and courage above all else. The Divine Spark has reached into the people's heart and blessed them with a furious fire. Their warriors are fearless, and their leaders are expected to lead from the front.

Familial Familiarity

In pursuit of the purest bloodlines, the Divine Spark has removed all mental barriers and taboos. Members of this culture will always prefer to marry within their own families. The blood is strong!.

Endless Lord

The people of this culture are ruled by perfect lords and their rule must live eternal. The first heir born of a lord is always a perfect copy of their lord parent.
