Agonhal

Etymology
Agonhal comes from the words "Agon" (meaning "dawn") and "Hal" (meaning "folk"), which would therefore mean "dawn-folk".

Origin
The Agonhal are one of the two elven races alongside their Burzhal counterparts. Once embroiled in a war with the Dark-Folk, the Agonhal was defeated once the Burzhal sorcerer-lords made their fateful deal with the Wendigo, using their newfound power to win the war.

Characteristics
The Agonhal have natural skin tones akin to that of humans, and they possess pointed ears. Known to be beautiful in appearance, the Agonhal may enchant others with their appearance alone. The Agonhal also have a natural affinity for learning and practicing magic, though their ability for pursuing the darker arts is very difficult, if not impossible, when compared to their Burzhal counterparts. Though the Agonhal are capable of mastering most, if not all, magic, their strengths come with healing. They have a complex understanding of caring for others’ ailments, so many notable Agonhal are healers.

Values
The Agonhal are known for being haughty and reclusive, as they believe they are naturally superior to other races. However, they are apt to find good in others and are accepting of those who fall short of their high expectations— which so happen to be other races.

Ever since, the Agonhal have harbored a long grudge against their ancestral rivals, even long past the fall of the Old Burzhal. Despite the measures taken to expunge such history from their annals, such bitterness is difficult to let go, with some inheriting the ill will passed on by their ancestors; although, most do not know the reason why.
