The Inar were a race of humanoid beings who existed in the time of the Befores. They were the first sentient beings, who are better known as elves.
Creation
According to the ancient religion of Grellism, the elves were created by Grellis when he filled the world with creatures. This ultimately led to the creation of the humans, dwarfs, and merfolk by the gods Orend, Drend, and Helirend, because they were jealous of the elves.
Extinction
They were unwittingly killed off in the Great Purge, a campaign to rid the world of magic, because magic was part of their biology. It was in their blood. While some elves openly practiced the magical arts, and were targeted specifically in the campaign, it wasn't known at the time that the Purge would affect the entire race of elves. The Cauthrians and the merfolk were also destroyed in the same manner.
Geography
Most elves resided in Greater Galwyndor, distributed between the kingdoms of Enenthal, Erith, and Lorithi, but some elves crossed the sea and settled in Lesser Galwyndor in the land of Aeryloth, where they cohabited peacefully with humans.
Appearance
Elves were typically taller and thinner in stature than their human counterparts. They also did not have the ability to grow facial hair, but their skin color was just as varied as humans, depending on the climate. They had elongated, tapered ears.
