| This formed the basis of elven theology, where the manifold and numerous Cephareth, who were godlike beings, would eventually pass away, and their descendants being their successors of the world, and the [[pantheons:class:Aenthur|Aenthur]] being those beings of the Cephareth who would sacrifice themselves to establish the laws and stability of the world. However, it was not long before other groups of elven peoples emerged; the [[races:elves:neiara:start|Neiara]] were one such, who had a specific distaste for the caste system which marginalized them, and another were those who worshipped and descended from the Aenthur, who were aspects of the natural world, and these were called the [[races:elves:Ayenara|Ayenara]], the nomadic people of the sky, the [[races:elves:silvara:start|Silvara]], the wild people who inhabited the dense jungles, and the [[races:elves:undara:start|Undara]], the undulating people who inhabited within the waves. The rulers of these elements of the natural world are [[pantheons:deities:Aryiel|Aryiel]], who rules the sky, [[pantheons:deities:Terravis|Terravis]], who rules the earth, and [[pantheons:deities:Aecora|Aecora]], who rules the ocean. They each had become the god-ancestor whose essence had been inherited by their people, with the Neiara instead turning to philosophy as they rejected the ways of their ancestors.\\ | This formed the basis of elven theology, where the manifold and numerous Cephareth, who were godlike beings, would eventually pass away, and their descendants being their successors of the world, and the [[pantheons:class:Aenthur|Aenthur]] being those beings of the Cephareth who would sacrifice themselves to establish the laws and stability of the world.

| The Neiara, eventually, would become more and more evolved over the ages, in time becoming two distinct races of elves: the [[races:elves:mirara:start|Mirara]] and the [[races:elves:vaathara:start|Vaathara]]. The Vaathara pledged themselves before the Novyi gods of the [[pantheons:Valdaen|Valdaen]], while the Mirara turned to themselves as the ultimate form of divinity, thus founding the council referred to as the [[pantheons:class:aeteri|Aeteri]]. Regardless, they had each turned away from the Cephareth as they no longer felt blessed by them as those who stayed in Arethayn had. Accordingly, the inhabitants of Arethayn are called the [[races:elves:arethara:start|Arethara]], and they were the elder people who traced their genealogy back to the penultimate Cephareth.\\ | The Neiara, eventually, would become more and more evolved over the ages, in time becoming two distinct races of elves: the [[races:elves:mirara:start|Mirara]] and the [[races:elves:vaathara:start|Vaathara]].

| The Arethara worship the [[pantheons:class:elefyr|Elefyr]], a group of elves who had achieved the purity laid out by the Cephareth and thereby allowed themselves to achieve a level of apotheosis. Meanwhile, the Silvara maintained the worship of Terravis, an icon of the Cephareth who had sacrificed herself, but extended their gaze to a more realized [[pantheons:silvari_pantheon|group of beings]] of all Novya, Aurya and Sorya that were thought to bear some association with the earth. The Undara, then, were known for their acknowledgement of the [[:Undari pantheon|water spirits]], indicating a different group of worshipped spirits that still were not exclusively those of Aurius. Finally, the Ayenara worship [[:Ayenari pantheon|beings of the sky]], who inhabit within the turbulent wind and are most free, yet are not all directly related to the winds of Aurius. | The Arethara worship the [[pantheons:class:elefyr|Elefyr]], a group of elves who had achieved the purity laid out by the Cephareth and thereby allowed themselves to achieve a level of apotheosis.
