The Sivakr are a people of the elf, not a separate lineage — a community defined by cultural tradition and shared practice, not biological divergence. The Sivakr dwell underground in the realm of Myorna, and a life spent away from the sun bleaches their skin to a pale, bloodless gray; one of their own raised above ground keeps the ordinary color of any elf. In their society, physical exercise is considered vulgar and ugly—social relevance is determined entirely by influence gained through mental acuity and intellectual prowess.
The Sivakr possess a remarkable ability to manipulate memory, which they demonstrate in formal memory duels. These ritualistic contests involve two elves standing face-to-face with arms outstretched and fingers interlocked, each attempting to alter the other's memories to convince them they made a mistake in accepting the challenge.
