Category:Doriath Family

The Doriaths are Shilvering Elves that first arrived in Topia in the beginning of BH First Age. They are conceived as a sub-race of beings similar in appearance to humans but fairer and wiser, with greater spiritual powers, keener senses, and a closer empathy with nature, but are also known to be serious and unfriendly towards any other races, with the exception of the Hytherling Elves, who are considered to be High Elves.

Elves in Topia are sorted into three man types: the Hytherlings, Shilverings and Phinnerings. The Shilverings are not the most powerful and prominent elves, but are the rarest in number. It is recorded in the The Pre Human Histories of T. that in the first human counting years of the AH age, Shilverings are already close to extinction.

It has been long rumoured that female Shilvering Elves are rare due to the fact that the male gene dominates and as a result, giving birth to a she-elf is extremely rare in Shilvering culture. This has never been confirmed, although it does give logic explanation to their limited numbers.

Since Shilverings are biologically immortal in the sense that they are not vulnerable to disease or the effects of old age (closer to the concept of indefinite lifespan than true immortality), the Doriaths family members has survived throughout all the BH ages and onto the AH and EA age.
