-The Arethara are believed to be the descendants of the [[deities:class:cephareth|Cephareth]], [[:aurya|Auryi beings]] that notably crystallized in the beginning period in which [[pantheons:deities:caelarkhe|Caelarkhe]] was most abundant. They inhabit within [[planes:aurius:arethayn:start|Arethayn]], the mythical homeland of the Cephareth, as the land proved to be impenetrable against the waves of darkness and chaos that plagued the eras after the [[library:premodern:altori_era|Altori Era]]. As descendants of the Cephareth, they are capable of a great magic, creating or manipulating their environments with their gifts as they had been bestowed with power in these arts by their mythical bloodline. The innate ability of wielding the raw powers of magic is woven into their blood as it is this magic which allowed them to crystallize from the light, being the most divine of the Aurya as they strove to preserve Caelarkhe.+The Arethara are believed to be the descendants of the [[deities:class:cephareth|Cephareth]], [[:aurya|Auryi beings]] that notably crystallized in the beginning period in which [[pantheons:deities:the_light_disambiguation:caelarkhe|Caelarkhe]] was most abundant.

 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.

-Upon forming from the instabilities of the beginning time from the energies of the Aurya, they founded a mythical land that would come to be the elven homeland, the consecrated grounds of stability and immortality, as it was considered to be most reminiscent of [[Avaerus]], the immortal plane of light and energy. This land, as is well-known by the Arethara, would be called Arethayn, meaning ancient land.+Upon forming from the instabilities of the beginning time from the energies of the Aurya, they founded a mythical land that would come to be the elven homeland, the consecrated grounds of stability and immortality, as it was considered to be most reminiscent of [[planes:heavens:avaerus|Avaerus]], the immortal plane of light and energy.

 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 [[pantheons:class:elefyr|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 [[pantheons:deities:azratha|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 [[pantheons:class:elefyr|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 [[races:elves:neiara|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.

 The construct of purity is necessarily founded on the preservation of Caelarkhe, a principle which the Elefyr most resemble as they achieved the original levels of power of the Cephareth who had been infused with Caelarkhe’s essence. Thus, the highest echelons are believed to have preserved Caelarkhe in their deeds of existence most easily, and thus, being more apt for the spirituality and magic which the force provokes. Accordingly, the Arethara believe that other races are less imbued with the powers of Caelarkhe, and are imperfect in all regards. Because of their descent from the purity of Caelarkhe, they believe that other races evolved from mortality and chaos, in a world where Caelarkhe was not preserved.\\ The construct of purity is necessarily founded on the preservation of Caelarkhe, a principle which the Elefyr most resemble as they achieved the original levels of power of the Cephareth who had been infused with Caelarkhe’s essence.
