Alv

Alv is one of the four initial races in the world of Elder Tale.

Overview
The Alv is a race with high intelligence and magical talents. They were well-known as an inventor of magic. Nonetheless, their birth rate was very low, resulting in having a small number of population which invited other races to destroy them.

History
Other races including Human, Elf, and Dwarf first raided the Alv for their magical knowledge and items, then the Alv themselves using their superior numbers. The Alv subsequently became slaves for trading, and some were violated and gave birth to children which are the Half-Alv.

Six Scrapped Princesses were parts of this slavery but pampered like gemstones due to their beauty residing in 6 different countries. They were the masterminds behind the war between the three remaining races to avenge the destruction of the Alv, leading to the high number of casualties estimated to be about the current number of the Elder Tale population according to ReGan. When the Six Scrapped Princesses were found out and about to be killed, the first World Fraction occurred.

Extinction
The entire Alv race were hunted down to extinction, wiping them out from history. However, that is no longer the case after the Catastrophe.

Legacy
Though the Alvs disappeared from existence, their descendants the Half-Alvs, a union between Alvs and Humans, continue to exist in preserving their legacy. Other legacies include magical items like the Mobile Armor, which is used by the Royal Guard, and structures such as the Ancient Palace of Eternal Ice.

Coppelia016 states that the Alv's used "extremely evil rituals," which may or may not be referring to the creation of the demi-human monsters.
