The imperial line of the Epicentral Empire consists mostly of those with an
Eruvenian ancestry. In the last age, the Eruvenians controlled most of the face
of Oshanal, and this positioned them to retain their power when the first of the
Hanging Towers were first raised.

Today, the Epicentral Empire of the Eruvenian people is in decline, with the
many cultures of the Tower States naturally fragmenting as the people of the
monstrous world grow and change. However, the Eruvenians still bring up their
children teaching of their powerful heritage, which they believe gives them
inherent sovereignty over the people of Oshanal.

## Imperial Elf Ancestral Traits

Imperial elves are a people who have come to expect the prevalence and, for lack
of a better term, natural supremacy, of elvenkind. They have long enjoyed a
mostly uncontested control of the world where they dwell, and to some degree
they have actually earned that control (or at least defended it). As an imperial
elf you have the following traits:

**Age.** Although imperial elves reach physical maturity at around sixteen years
of age, imperial elven people are long-lived and tend to live for hundreds, if
not thousands of years. The average imperial elf lives up to 900 years of age,
but this varies considerably: a truly healthy imperial elf could last up to 2000
years through a combination of cultural, mystic, and biological advantage.

**Size.** Imperial elves are not particularly large, but they are often tall. A
typical imperial elf will range from 6 to 7 feet tall, with a slender frame.
Your size is Medium.

**Speed.** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

**Twilight Vision.** As an old ancestry from the last era, imperial elves have
developed a sharp twilight and dim light vision. You can see in dim light within
60 feet of you as though it were bright light, and you see in darkness as if it
were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

**Keen Senses.** You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

**Trance.** Imperial elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply,
remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. This is referred to as a “trance”.
While meditating, your mind briefly unspools into the greater sorcerous
consciousness of the cosmos, providing you with strange mystic curiosities to
reflect on when you arouse. After resting in this way, you gain the same
benefits that other humanoids do from 8 hours of sleep.


Imperial elves, the Eruvenians have conquered, destroyed, and again saved the monstrous world over the ages.
