FEATURES

 

• APPEARANCE
  • Dark Eyes: All Haumels have irises of an extremely dark brown that effectively appears as black. Only on close examination can the pupil be distinguished from the iris.
     
  • Olive Skin: A Haumel does indeed have brown skin, tinted slightly brighter to a moderate brown olive tone.
• DISPOSITION
  • Calmness: Those of Haumel blood carry about them a serene and controlled air. Emotional outbursts and reciprocating insults are rare behaviors.
     
  • Eloquence: The words of a Haumel are always carefully chosen and somewhat poetic. Metaphors are used for this purpose: if the one who I am talking to is not intelligent enough to understand what I am saying, then they do not deserve to know at all.
     
  • Haumels often take interest in keeping up with international politics and history. But is this done out of intellectual interest, or a desire to utilize this knowledge?

IDEALS

 

The Haumel Bloodline sticks out amongst the Mali'ame in their values. While the common wood elf cares little about the ministrations of foreigners and only desires peace for himself, the Haumel is hardly so isolationist and believes that one may only sustain peace within by gathering wisdom of the world without.

 

In addition, common wood elves often ascribe wisdom and moral authority to those who are Druids. The Haumels refuse to automatically grant these to any particular Druid, and only those who have demonstrated such traits are allowed the respect of having them. This is because in studying history, the Haumels are all too aware that the Druids are capable of acting with neither wisdom nor moral authority.

 

The foremost ideal of a Haumel is emotional control. What greater measure can there be of a mind than how much mastery it has over its primal instincts? This is in the fact that the Haumels are the originators of the bronze culture, which advocates personal restraint as an escape from the mental degredation of the centuries.

HISTORY

 

The Line of Haumel is a wood elven family that has not an especially remarkable ancient history. The first Haumel was known as Feamdat, who in the times of Aegis for reasons unknown adopted the surname of Haumel, replacing the one he had before. Perhaps it was to sever ties with his own family, or perhaps it carried a significance for him. The answer is not known and likely shall never be. Feamdat Haumel married another wood elf by the name of Katal, and sired children over the course of a few centuries. Their sons and daughters made lives for themselves upon maturing, having children of their own. However, the falling of Aegis and the disappearance of Feamdat and Katal cut them all apart from each other, as the disorganization of Malinor began. The move to Anthos further disconnected them, as Malinor was often attacked by numerous powers and so it was deemed unsafe to live in.

 

During this time the eldest son of Bemnat Haumel (who was in turn the eldest son of Feamdat), Asthil Haumel, began to become involved with the Malinorian government to consult on various social and diplomatic reforms. He was the one who sought out the High Elven Sohaer Kalenz Uradir and together crafted the first treaty between Malinor and Haelun'or since Asulon: the Silver-Emerald Covenant. However, that was to be short lived as Malinor herself collapsed under the weight of rotten wood. The moral degredation of elvenkind had reached its peak, and in a sense of failure Asthil departed into obscurity.

 

Reflecting upon what had occurred, Asthil realized that the fall of his people was directly related to their overwhelming freedom of emotion they had. With the supremacy of their minds compromised, their unchained desires lead them to their own destruction and insanity. Perhaps the humans are to be thanked for their war on Malinor: it put down what should have by all rights died long ago.

 

With this insight in hand, Asthil Haumel became a key figure in the bringing of the Mali'ame to Haelun'or and the establishment of Lin'ame. And now, he calls upon his disparate kin to unveil themselves and come before him, so that the Bloodline of Haumel may be established.
