'''Elvenkind''', known in [[Ruulden]] as '''Ruul’yun''' (“God’s Children”), are one of the principal mortal peoples of [[Mundus]]. In early histories they travel alongside [[Humekind]] before diverging to found '''Ruulran''' (“God’s Home”), where Elvenkind today remain culturally and politically pre-eminent.

== Etymology ==
''Ruul’yun'' is a [[Ruulden]] compound meaning “God’s Children.” Related sacred compounds include '''[[Ruul’chtan]]''' (“God’s Mountain”), long sought by the Elvenkind, and '''[[Ruulran]]''' (“God’s Home”), the realm they established upon finding that mountain.

== Mythic and early history ==
Aetherian tradition records a long overland journey in which the [[Humekind|Hume]] tribe and the Ruul’yun traveled together for several cycles, bonded by a shared faith (Aetherian) though venerating different primarch deities—Humes, '''[[Simonius]]'''; Ruul’yun, '''[[Odivia]]'''. The alliance ended when the Humes settled fertile plains while the Ruul’yun continued in search of Ruul’chtan; soon after, the Elvenkind founded '''[[Ruulran]]''' to the south.

== Language ==
Elvenkind are the historic speakers of '''[[Ruulden]]''', the oldest surviving language in [[Mundus]] and the official tongue of [[Ruulran]]. While Ruulden once spread widely, it diverged in [[Directionland]] into '''[[Common Directian]]'''; today Ruulden is reserved for rites, diplomacy, and ceremony.

== Faith ==
Within the '''[[Aetherian Faith]]''' (the Faith of the Four), Ruulran and the Ruul’yun are associated with '''[[Odivia]] (“the Mother”)'''. [[Aetherian Faith|Aetherian]] practice is nationalized in both Ruulran and Directionland, with nations selecting a patron among the Four ([[Ruulran]]—[[Odivia]]; [[Directionland]]—[[Simonius]]).

== Society and culture ==

=== Ruulranic structures ===
Letters and reports describing Ruulran society depict a rigid [[Ruulran Rank System|rank system]] signaled by '''name suffixes''', with children inheriting '''the lower rank''' of their parents (e.g., ''Tharil'' “peasant,” suffix '''-il''').

=== Demonyms and identity ===
“'''Ruul’yun'''” refers specifically to Elvenkind, whereas “'''Ruulrani'''” denotes people from [[Ruulran]] regardless of race (e.g., “Ruulrani army reports,” “Ruulrani blood”).

=== Appearance ===
Sources note characteristic '''elven ears''' among the Ruul’yun; individual descriptions vary, but Elvenkind traits are otherwise quite similar to [[Humekind]].

== Distribution ==
Elvenkind are most concentrated in '''[[Ruulran]]''' but are present across [[Directionland]] through travel, service, or exile. Noted examples include [[Ruulran City]] natives living or operating within the Empire.
