The Tundra Elves are a reclusive group at the best of times. Keeping themselves well hidden around the southern Eretejva region. They are not an expansionistic group but they have perfected the arts of assassination and subterfuge where required, occasionally selling these services to trusted allies. In part, they have honed these skills to protect themselves and hide their identity, in part to further the goals of their patron god Eleth the unknowable.

They have a strict society that is caste-based, religious, warrior and worker, each of the three groups having their own sub-castes. It was this strict warrior lifestyle, with a heavy emphasis on secrecy that shaped Ktaris’s younger years. Younger in elven years is the first hundred or more, which leaves a distinct and heavy emphasis on what that Tundra Elf becomes. His childhood was rigid, training, scripture and more training. It would be fair to say that he never grew up, he grew old.

Ktaris has been dedicated to the keepers for over one hundred years since. Sent out on many missions in their service. The keepers both guard the identity of the tundra elves and their location, as well as their patron god, who seeks domain over all secrets, mysteries, and shadows. They also seek to expand Eleth’s domain over the various planes of existence, including but not limited to the mortal one. This is simply achieved first through confusion, secrets, and misdirection, following eventually to shadows, and eternal night over a small area. The area can be the size of the book, the size matters not, only what truths are hidden and what mysteries remain unsolved. Hiding the right book at the right time can deny the exposure of a secret just as well as clouding a town in darkness, and it is much easier to do!
