The Amber Elves are a race of Elves that center their civilization around an oasis near the Archei Mountains in the west of the Desert of Lexighor. Known in their own tongue as the Nyrkara, the Amber Elves were once nomadic, like many Elves, but the inhospitable environment of the Desert of Lexighor led to them settling down near the one oasis that they could find.

Led by a King, the Amber Elves’ society is a mix of Hierarchical and Meritocratic in nature, although it’s easy to mistake for the outside observer to mistake it for a caste system. All Amber Elves begin at the bottom of the Hierarchy, equivalent to a general citizenry in most other societies, but there are ways to ascend in this hierarchy, far more ways than in a caste system.

Appearance

The Amber Elves possess charcoal-gray skin, with amber-colored eyes and white hair. As such, it's usually difficult to tell them apart, unless one can easily spot differences in their facial features or body shapes. Male Amber Elves are only slightly more muscular than the females, so both tend to be rather lithe individuals.

Their delicate appearance, however, belies a level of resilience that one would not expect from them.

Amber Elves aged similarly to most elven races: coming to full physical maturity at 110 and pretty much halting aging there, until their days end.
