Frankish Elves

Frankish Elves
Frankish Elves are a group of High Elves that split off from the Everdale elves and moved to near Orleans to make their own kingdom. Their skin is fair, their hair blonde, and their eyes ranging anywhere from steely blue to teal to emerald green.

Culture and Youth
While they are still elves, they have adopted parts of human culture. Frankish youth are raised by their parents until they are anywhere from fourteen to eighteen, at which point their parents will send them to colleges to learn magic or technology. These colleges are only open to Frankish elves, however. No other elves or races may enter, and if they do, they are killed immediately. Hybrids are allowed, but are separated and only taught the basics unless there is a special case.

Frankish elves are required to stay in the college until they are thirty and may return at any time to learn more.

Hierarchy
Leaders in both in the military and politics are distinguished by one trait, Golden Alfheim. This will be deliberated later on. The stronger you are in the form, the more standing you have. While the royalty may not be the strongest at any given time,their genes are capable of being so. The weakest members of the Golden caste are guards or judges.

The middle caste is High Elves that do not possess the Golden Alfheim trait. They do the common work as commoners in human culture do.

The low caste are humans or other elves that happen to be under the rule of the Frankish elves. They are treated as serfs or slaves, depending on how much the are despised by the populace, lower elves usually being treated like dirt.

Golden Alfheim
Accessed through training during their college years, Frankish Elves can enter a state called "Golden Alfheim". It greatly increases their body mass and allows them to influence electrons, causing lightning and plasma, with a golden aura from ionizing sodium. Their hair stands up and gets a golden gleam, and can sacrifice speed for power in a pinch. Purer genes of the trait can access a higher level and use non-magic plasma attack.
