The Xicrein are a people of the elf, not a separate lineage — a community shaped by their distinct traditions, not a split in bloodline. The Xicrein are elves of the Bynü Island Tribes, attuned to water and darkness. They have dark features, high cheekbones, and a brooding demeanor that makes other races uneasy in their presence. Their culture is one of polite, silent lethality—clans wage brutal wars against each other using assassination rather than open battle.

They disdain Deoric magic and poison, considering such methods dishonorable. A Xicrein prefers the "honest" kill of an oyster-shell blade across the throat to any trickery. They are master sailors and killers, equally comfortable navigating treacherous island waters or slipping into an enemy's chambers under cover of darkness.
