Jerith

The plains-dwelling Jerith are the remnants of various Elven kingdoms that fell, condemned to a nomad existence. They are the most visually striking elves, as having grey or pitch-black skin is common. Frequently derided as plains-pirates and thieves, they are paradoxically the most tolerated Elf species, as they often stop by small towns to barter their goods, which are almost always of exquisite make. Many fall in with mercenary companies, dissatisfied with their marauding ways. As with the Aëduan, Jerith are occasionally born with golden eyes, although brown is the most common colour. They often adorn themselves with silvery branching flower tattoos that reveal themselves under different lighting conditions, with the pattern never being fully visible. As the plains are a hot, windy place, the Jerith frequently wear light cloaks to protect themselves from the wind and simple shifts to protect from the heat. A recent innovation are goggles of reinforced glass to protect from the rays of the sun.
