Dominion Era/Tretallë (Culture)

Known in IktOrryk as the Istfet, and in the Common Tongue as the Bone Elves, the Tretallë are the sister-race of the High Elves. Both these elfin races hail from the eastern continent, known as IldSond to the races of Man, and the Termalttë to the Tretallë. The true ancestral home of the Tretallë, at least, by the accounts of the High Elfin faith, is at the foot of the Shrouded Peaks. However, going by the history of the Tretallë, their oldest recorded home is Ifatallë Cselvë, the Ivory City, home to the Ivory Throne at the heart of the illustrious Forest of Bones.

Physiology

The Tretallë are close relatives of the High Elves. While the Elledynnë are generally leaner and shorter, the Tretallë are more well-built and taller. They are less adept than their Elfin brethren in sneaking around in the dark, but a High Elf would rather be caught dead than caught doing something so boorish. Their manual dexterity, on the other hand, is quite unmatched in the East.

While generally speaking, their most common features make it more difficult for them to be stealthy in small places, unlike their High Elfin brethren, and the Woodlands and Rogue elves in the West, they are more than capable in larger chambers. They excel at covering large distances on foot and have extraordinary endurance, lending credence to the idea that they were originally from a mountain environment. However, they prefer to use their horses unless absolutely necessary.

The Tretallë are also very capable at navigating many different kinds of terrain. Again, lending credence to the High Elfin story, the Tretallë are amazing at managing mountainous terrain, which the Elledynnë are more or less terrible at.

In addition, males of the race are almost never prone to promiscuity. In fact, they have a muted sex drive. It has long been argued that because the Tretallë have the longest natural life expectancy of the Elfin races, they do not see the need to procreate very often. Needless to say, the females often find themselves bereft of any sexual pleasure if they depend on the men, and instead rely on other women to keep them company, save for when the males are, for lack of a better term, "in heat"
