The Arethara are descendants of the first of the Aurya to incarnate from the light at a point where the light was plentiful and abundant, which is further described as crystallizing by these sophisticated and arcane people, the crystallized essences which emerged from this time constituting the beginning of this elven race. As an effect of their crystallized status, they wield a greater arsenal of skills and powers, one of which being their practice of magic which is lost to the incarnated mannish races.\\ | The Arethara are descendants of the first of the Aurya to incarnate from the light at a point where the light was plentiful and abundant, which is further described as crystallizing by these sophisticated and arcane people, the crystallized essences which emerged from this time constituting the beginning of this elven race.

The Arethara necessarily acknowledge Caelarkhe as the primordial force from which all beings arose from and in relation to, and from this notion came the doctrines of Auryi purity and a lack of association with other spirits of the world. Notably, they are taught to only consort with powerful ancestor spirits and dismiss all other spirits as either being unworthy of worship or otherwise immoral. The idols of the original Cephareth are scattered throughout Arethayn, and it is there that they practice the worship of these potent ancestors who managed to crystallize in the beginning time. The Cephareth are thought to be beacons of purity and an ideal to strive for, and thus, they seek to emulate their ways.\\ | The Arethara necessarily acknowledge Caelarkhe as the primordial force from which all beings arose from and in relation to, and from this notion came the doctrines of Auryi purity and a lack of association with other spirits of the world.

- | Of the deities that they worship, the original Cephareth are included, however, they have since adopted worship of the Elefyr, who maintain themselves as beings who achieved apotheosis through supernatural virtue and discipline. The Elefyr consist of seven deities who profess themselves as the reincarnations of the original powers of the Cephareth, who had since faced death in accordance to Azratha’s curse in the forgotten worlds of creation of which there were seven. The Cephareth, though being worshipped in tandem with the Elefyr, consistently have become devalued as the Elefyr have proven themselves to be supreme and worthy of the worship of their people.\\ | + | Of the deities that they worship, the original Cephareth are included, however, they have since adopted worship of the [[Elefyr]], who maintain themselves as beings who achieved apotheosis through supernatural virtue and discipline.

With the rise of the Elefyr, who maintained themselves as the supreme rulers of Arethayn, came the prolific caste system which necessarily placed the Elefyr on a higher echelon of existence than the others of the Arethara. In time, this would lead to the departure of what would become the Neiara as they were consistently placed as less than in this elven, theocratic society. Though the caste system is in place in order to allow for their superiors to reign, it is thought by the underclassmen that this necessarily preserves the purity of the original Cephareth, and instigates purity from them so that they can understand the Elefyr to be paragons of virtue and purity. In accordance to this, any deviation from this purity is rejected, and they understand the ways of man and even, other elven races, to be impure and unworthy.\\ | With the rise of the Elefyr, who maintained themselves as the supreme rulers of Arethayn, came the prolific caste system which necessarily placed the Elefyr on a higher echelon of existence than the others of the Arethara.
