Durvonerii ("Lords of Cold & Ice") Elves, also know as snow elves, are elves that left their Aetherii ancestors to the Frozen Wastes of Aevira due to the Desolate Cascade. The Durvoner were known as mighty warriors who relied on their strength and incredible toughness, characterized by a bestial rage empowered either by ancestral totems and nature spirits or an inner passion for violence. But unfortunately for the Durvoner, after raiding the Golden Coast, which seemed like easy pickings for them, the Durvoner met their match with the might of the Aegis Ascendancy. The Templars of the Order of Teno launched a crusade on the Frozen Wastes to pacify its inhabitants and convert them. Now the Durvoner are a fragment of their former selves, living under the watchful eye of Aegis, attempting to relive the old times of nature and glory. Many Durvoner find themselves with internal conflicts on if they should try and relive the tradition of their ancestors or conform to the Aegis Ascendancy's society.
