The Laore-Glas

Racial Overview
The Northernmost of the Elven subspecies, the Laore-Glas claim a tenacity that far makes up for their much shorter stature. They are typically ginger or auburn haired with blue or green eyes- a trait along with their height that most believe comes from some supposed past intermingling with the Farren.

Most often their skin is pale or lightly freckled, a result of their continued existence spending generations in the frigid wastes of the Heithmark.

The Laore-Glas typically adhere to Nordic naming conventions similar to the Ancient Heitha, but they do not need to adhere to this.

Physical Attributes
The Laore-Glas are oftentimes cautious, though this trait has been adopted over a scarcity of resources moreso than a xenophobic dislike of outsiders. Any and all are welcome to hunt amongst their ranks, and their ritualistic seaweed-green tattoos given for each slain sea creature have been adopted by most amongst the Human and Dwarven clans.

The Laore-Glas view the Morian as their enemies and vice versa, often blaming them for the destruction of their ancestral homeland of Verendell (now populated by their cousins, the Laore-Hoj). Because of this ancient animosity, the spear has not only become their most chosen weapon, but the sacred symbol of their people.

The Laore-Glas stand at a whopping 5'0" to 5'11", being the shortest of all the Laore. This helps them better maneuver on ships, though is not the sole purpose nor the cause for their short stature. Rumour has it that their eyes, hair, and size are all a result of intermingling between the Laore and humans post emergence, though these claims are currently unfounded. Like other Laore, the Laore-Glas seem to pause in age once they reach their thirty-fifth year, then continue to stay in the same physically ageless form until their demise. The eldest of the Laore-Glas are only around two-hundred, as most tend to perish at a younger age due to their rough and dangerous lifestyle. Laore-Glas that do make it to two-hundred are typically bedridden at this age and unable to hunt anymore.
