The Sylvari Family

[Lafthi Sylvari 12]

*As you walk through Malinor's front gates, you notice a group congregating around the well. Working your way towards the front of the group you notice a High Elf holding a rather large
book. You recognize the Elf as Prince Lafthi Sylvari. Listening in...*

 

"At last, I finally managed to find it. The record of the Elven Family Sylvari. Within this tome lie the traditions of the Sylvari family as well as an extensive family tree. I have been looking for this tome since Asulon so that we, the Sylvari Family, may be restored to one another. Without further ado..."

*Lafthi turns the book around so that all may read it without having to take it.*

"The Family Sylvari"

 

Physical Features

 

"The Family Syvari traces the vast majority of it's roots to High Elves. However there have been several branches of both Dark and Wood Elves. However, even with the stated diversity all Sylvari Elves tend to have blue eyes, and be fairly tall. However with their height they are also quite thin."

 

 

Sylvari Values

"The Sylvari family very early on in their founding took the words: "Faith, Service, Study." This family moto has proven to be very descriptive of the Sylvari Family and as such will be be described in finer detail below:

1. Faith- Above all the Sylvari family has been and presumably will continue to be a fairly religious family. However, even though the Sylvari's have taken to be a religious lot, that does not mean they all worship the same deity. While many worship the Creator, the druids among the Sylvari worship the Aspects, and so forth. However, as a combination of their faith and diverse family, the Sylvari are a very welcoming one. Any elf or half elf, or foreigner would be welcomed warmly into the Sylvari household.

2. Service- Second only totheir service of their deities, is the Sylvari's family's service to Malinor. Throughout Malinor's history, the Sylvari's have been very involved in everything from the guard force to the High Council of Malinor. Many Sylvari's find much pleasure in their work for Malinor and thoroughly enjoy helping their kin. However, with their physical limitations most Sylvari serve Malinor either through service to the Lower Council, or taking jobs as farmers and the like.

 

3. Study- With the Sylvari's tall lithe build, not many have grown to become swordsmen as it were. As such, many Sylvari have grown to become mages, alchemists, or even scientists.Most of the Sylvari family prefer challenges of the mind, rather than of the flesh. Even if a particular Sylvari prefers not to take the path of the magic user, many have taken jobs as scientists and the like, studying anything from the effects of the magic of the Malinorian forests to the effects of redstone. This is not to say that every Sylvari Family member shuns the sword, however most find other tasks more to their liking.

 

Clothing

"Most Sylvari choose to dress in a combination of white and green as is tradition, however other colors are often seen too. Most family members wear robes as a result of their magical calling, however those inclined to other pursuits will often wear other garments to match their chosen calling."

 

Love Life and Children

 

"As befits the diversity of the Sylvari family, it is not uncommon to see a union between two different subraces of High Elves. As such, there is some amount of blending in the Sylvari family, that is not seen in the other Elven Families present in Malinor. However, it remains true that unions between the same subtype of Elf remains far more common."

Children are raised entirely by their parents until the age of 10. After such time they are often paired with an elder Sylvari as an apprentice. This could include anything from magic to smithing. Depending on the craft, the apprenticeship can last for a few years to decades and decades. Because of the severity of the choice, both the child and the parents would be involved in deciding what craft the child undertakes."

 

Elders

 

"Either through a combination of services rendered, significant discovery, or plain old age, a Sylvari Family member would attain the title of Elder. Mainly acting as sign of respect, if any important family decisions would be made, it would probably be discussed by the Elders of the Family before being discussed among the family as a whole."

 

*turning the next page you notice pages upon pages of a family tree. As time approaches present day, you notice more and more blanks. However there are several blanks spaces where a family
member might be able to fill in their information. The newest information seems to be painted in by Lafthi himself, showing his parents two High Elf Parents Aenor and Arvellan and Lafthi as an only child. While it appears that his mother Arvellan was an only child. There are a few sibllings of his father that some relations might come from.*
