Here's a pair of characters who probably won't show up ingame for a while.
When the majority of elves moved to space thousands of years ago, the ones who remained (either by choice or being unable to afford it) had to deal with the harsh new reality that had been brought about by climate change - extremely low temperatures and reduced visibility due to lack of sunlight. This caused them to evolve into what became known as Prismatic Elves - instead of an affinity for manipulating Aether, these gems on their foreheads allowed them to bend light in various ways.
They also possess iridescent hair, and while powerful elves can eventually grow large feathery wings, a prismatic elf would get something closer to bug wings instead.
Kobolds are the result of a similar evolution - being cold-blooded creatures, these lizard-like beasts had to develop thick fur over their scales in order to survive the ice age.
Kali maintains an ancient library - or the ruins thereof - doing his best to restore ancient texts. He is assisted by an assortment of kobolds, with Thorn being closest to him.
