The Eldinar were the predecessors to the Inar, or elves. They predate the original gods, with the exception of Grellis, the sentient primordial stone deity responsible for creation of the world. To make them, Grellis used pure essence of itself, or Soul Stray, which made them purer than even the later gods, who were not made as pure. The Eldinar were androgenous, immortal beings, who could not replicate or create new races or creatures. They could, however, wield the essences and travel unimpeded between all the Overlay Realms.

Creation Myth

Main article: Creation Myth

According to the ancient religion of Grellism, the Eldinar were created by Grellis as the fourth and final creature, but before it made the gods. The existence of the Eldinar ultimately led to the creation of the humans, dwarfs, and helimer by the gods Orend, Drend, and Helirend, because they were jealous of the Eldinar.

-The '''Eldinar''' were the first of the [[Inar]], or elves. They predate the original gods, with the exception of [[Grellis]], the sentient primordial stone deity responsible for creation of the world. Because they were created by Grellis, they equaled the gods in certain power, primarily the amount of [[omnicrux]] they had in them; it was enough to make them immortal. Because of this, the gods were always jealous of them.

-According to the ancient religion of [[Grellism]], the Eldinar were created by Grellis when he filled the world with creatures. The existence of the Eldinar ultimately led to the creation of the [[humans]], [[dwarfs]], and [[merfolk]] by the gods [[Orend]], [[Drend]], and [[Helirend]], because they were jealous of them. Given that they were created by Grellis, they contained more of the omnicrux, or magical essence of Grellis, than the other races.
