Bloodlines and innate traits

Ancient Moon Elf Bloodline

The silver moon represents both an Elven belief and the supreme Ancient Moon Elf bloodline. Pure-blood Moon Elves, also called Elf Kings in Wizard World records, are the source of most modern Elf royal houses. 184

• A pure-blood Moon Elf can naturally reach power comparable to a Level 4 Wizard upon adulthood. 184 292
• Even the least gifted pure-blood Moon Elf possesses aptitude above Grade 5. 184
• The bloodline grants powerful innate talents, though many require physical maturation before they can manifest. 265
• Moon Elf power can strengthen and purify other life forms through rites such as Moon God's Baptism and cleansing rituals. 288 443
• The Moon God Bloodline is another name for the Ancient Moon Elf bloodline; the title “Moon God” derives from the Ancient Moon Elf King, the King of the Moon. 223

Sun and Emerald Bloodlines

The Sun Emperor Bloodline and Moon Elf Bloodline show exceptional compatibility, with their collision capable of manifesting a World Tree phantom. 589

• Pure Sun Elf and Moon Elf bloodlines were later recreated in the Emerald World through the Tree of Life and Adel's Bloodline Mark. 830
• The Son of Emerald bloodline is associated with Zar, son of the Mother of Emerald, who once led the Elves to their height of power. 577
• The Emerald Blood can shift between Moon Elf and Sun Emperor forms. 595

Curse of the pure-blooded Elves

Pure-blood Elves carry a historical curse linked to the war between the Wizard World and the Calamity World. Heraldos attributes the Calamity Mark to a curse placed on the descendants of the defeated side by the Calamity King. 263

Society

Elven society is intensely bloodline-based. Noble status is hereditary, and commoner Elves cannot become nobles or marry into noble houses regardless of personal effort. 269

• Elf nobles are more likely to possess Wizard aptitude because many retain traces of Ancient Moon Elf blood. 269
• Wizard aptitude is rarer and generally weaker among commoner Elves; even second-class aptitude is considered exceptional among them. 269
• Small Elf tribes are often economically exploited by their direct nobles, who purchase their produce cheaply and sell it to outside merchants at high prices. 270
• The Elves are highly xenophobic. Their core territories are largely closed to outsiders, while frontier cities exist primarily for external trade. 270
• Elf Knights and Wizards hold substantial authority; even ordinary Elf archers encountered in noble service may be trained Knights. 271

Royal Court and High Priest

Within the Silver Mist Elf polity, the Elf Royal Court and the High Priest jointly uphold order.

Institution	Responsibility
Elf Royal Court	Governs the Elf race and manages political order. 292
High Priest	Traditionally the strongest Elf, responsible for protecting all Elves. 292
Elf King	A royal figure tied to the Moon King's Sword and the highest Moon Elf bloodline inheritance. 279 292

History

During the Ancient Wizard era, Elves were conquered from other worlds and integrated into the Wizard system. Their talents allowed them to prosper, and they became one of the earliest races aligned with the Ancient Wizards. 184 223

Elven Wizards served as a major force during the ancient campaigns across worlds. Records describe the Elf Emperor suppressing demon gods, while the Elves' power and reputation spread across many worlds. 223

At the end of the ancient period, the Elves of the Emerald World were destroyed in a sudden catastrophe. Records describe a blood-red sky, Elves’ eyes turning red, bodily mutation, and mass death affecting commoners, royalty, and Wizards alike. The event unfolded within days, with some accounts describing it as an overnight annihilation. 222 223

The cause remains unresolved. Later researchers suspect a curse connected to the ancient conflict between the Wizard World and hostile worlds, but no definitive conclusion has been reached. 223

The collapse of several Elf kingdoms also produced refugees who were transported and sold by slave traders on other continents. Adel's mother was one such refugee and was believed to have originated from a minor Elven noble family. 53

After Adel returned to the Emerald World as the Son of Emerald, Elves from the Wizard World were migrated there in large numbers. The Tree of Life was restored and began nurturing new Elves, reviving both the population and the pure Moon Elf and Sun Elf bloodlines in their ancestral world. 829 830

Known populations

• Massen Region — Elves remain a powerful people with strong Elf Wizards, rivaling human Wizard influence in the region. 192
• Silver Mist Forest — Home to the Elf Royal Court, noble families, Elf tribes, and the Bloodline Trial. 269 279
• Emerald World — The Elves’ ancestral homeland, once left without living pure-blood Elves after the ancient catastrophe. It was later repopulated and restored as an Elven world. 222 223 829 830
• Underground world — Homeland of the Dark Elves. Large numbers later migrated to the surface seeking refuge rather than conquest. 282 596
• Emerald Tower — The most powerful Elven force in the later era; it became the focal point for Elven unification after the Son of Emerald's call. 733

Bloodline rites and legacy

Bloodline Trial

The Royal Court's Bloodline Trial centers on the Moon King's Sword, which bears the bloodline imprint of an Ancient Moon Elf King. Participants experience the Ancient King's bloodline and endure the sword's pressure to purify their own bloodline. 279

• The trial takes place on the Bloodline Inheritance Path, a silver path built by the last Elf King. 285
• The highest-ranking participants can become students of the Elf High Priest. 287
• Adel's revelation as a pure-blood Moon Elf and his drawing of the Moon King's Sword caused widespread unrest among the Elven nobility. 288 292

Moon God's Baptism

The Moon King's Sword preserves the secret technique Moon God's Baptism, along with Moon Elf power-utilization methods and Spell Templates. 288

• Uses gentle, pure Moon Elf power to strengthen another being's physique. 288
• Improves the recipient's future growth potential. 288
• Was renowned in ancient times and used on descendants of Ancient Wizards. 288

Bloodline-based inheritance

Ancient Elven mausoleums and rituals recognize bloodline authority. The Elf High Priest's final spell was designed to activate only when a descendant carrying Elf royal blood arrived. 185

• Elven ruins may contain rites guarded by bloodline-based conditions. 593
• The Moon King's Sword and other royal legacies respond strongly to pure Moon Elf blood. 288 594
• The Silver Moon Clan Emblem signifies the Elf Royal Family; branch families may combine it with their own marks, such as the Purple Bird insignia of the Oris Family. 184 272
