| As the more perfect and congenial descendants of the Cephareth, the [[races:elves:arethara:start|Arethara]] strive to preserve throughout Arethayn the structure and stability of the radiant, golden light which Caelarkhe once provided, so that the land might know the presence of the infused eternal and immortal energies of this light. It is believed among the Arethari people that [[pantheons:deities:araray|Araray]], the ageless elven patriarch who is the sole survivor of the [[library:premodern:altori_era|Altori Era]], is the one who was most gifted with these powers of the beginning time, where the celestial was observed throughout the mortal plane and had not yet receded to the chaos and mortality of the plane of Exitius. Therefore, Araray is worshipped as Caelarkhe translated into a supremely conscious yet starkly elven form, who retains all of the gifts of stasis, order, and the eternal so that Arethayn can be subject to his rule as the elven king. Araray’s status as the sole or righteous incarnation of Caelarkhe is, however, disputed among the members of the other [[races:elves:start|elven races]], such that all who pledge their allegiance to Araray are the Arethara and are thus subject to his rulings and edicts in regards to the occurrences of the mythical elven homeland of Arethayn.\\ | As the more perfect and congenial descendants of the Cephareth, the [[races:elves:arethara:start|Arethara]] strive to preserve throughout Arethayn the structure and stability of the radiant, golden light which Caelarkhe once provided, so that the land might know the presence of the infused eternal and immortal energies of this light.

| The [[races:elves:mirara:start|Mirara]], who descend from the [[races:elves:neiara:start|Neiara]] who, earlier, had fled Arethayn seeking religious freedom, also believe Caelarkhe to be of great importance as the celestial beginning which they, and all creatures of the mortal plane, descend from, being the primordial source of soul and light and thus, the progenitor of life, though being unconscious. Accordingly, Caelarkhe is, by the [[races:elves:mirara:aeteri|Aeteri]], regarded as the immortal principle which is infused particularly within them, and which enables for their minds of grandeur to better comprehend the arcane arts of magic and sorcery so common to the elven peoples. Caelarkhe is, however, considered to be an insentient force, who had only circumstantially gifted their ancestors, the Cephareth, with a greater lifespan of immortality, rendering the Mirara and their ruling council to be more atheistic in their lack of worship and reverence for beings greater than they. It is taught by the Mirari council of the Aeteri that their people are to become gods, and that worship of such beings is to be admonished and regarded as misguided in their ambitions of immortality and the process of abandoning the body to once again become a pure mass of energy or mana like the Sorya, though possessing a volition of their own as a result of not being bound to Caelarkhe.\\ | The [[races:elves:mirara:start|Mirara]], who descend from the [[races:elves:neiara:start|Neiara]] who, earlier, had fled Arethayn seeking religious freedom, also believe Caelarkhe to be of great importance as the celestial beginning which they, and all creatures of the mortal plane, descend from, being the primordial source of soul and light and thus, the progenitor of life, though being unconscious.

| The [[races:elves:vaathara:start|Vaathara]], who inhabit the elven province of [[:regaayn|Regaayn]], regard Caelarkhe as an insentient force which had earlier gifted their ancestors with the powers of magic and consciousness in the Altori Era. Specifically, the elven peoples of Regaayn acknowledge Caelarkhe as a force whose power is less prevalent than it has ever been, thus instigating an attitude towards the principle that suggests that its preservation is no longer of importance as the final plane offers itself as the spiritual successor to Caelarkhe’s previously held role of strengthening and providing a sustenance to the Cephareth. Because of this, Caelarkhe is scarcely mentioned within their religious rites and magical rituals, believing instead that the [[pantheons:class:valdaen|Valdaen]], a trio of gods that are worshipped by the Vaathara, are the penultimate guiders who can better them not through a stasis of imperfection, as they believe, but a change to perfection. | The [[races:elves:vaathara:start|Vaathara]], who inhabit the elven province of [[:regaayn|Regaayn]], regard Caelarkhe as an insentient force which had earlier gifted their ancestors with the powers of magic and consciousness in the Altori Era.
