Description: They are perhaps the most learned of all subraces of elves as they tend to be more intelligent than an average moon elf. Another factor may be because of a sun elf's natural predilection for absolute perfection in any endeavor they pursue. Also sun elves tend to live longer lives than the other elven subraces, leaving them more time to perfect their studies further. 

Like all of the People, the Ar'Tel'Quessir are of a height with humans, but significantly more slender. They also tend to be slightly longer in limb and their hands are feet are approximately half again as long as an equivalent human's. They possess a deep bronze colored skin, in some cases appearing more amber. Hair colors tend toward copper, golden blonde and black, and rarely red. Eye colors are more varied with most gold elves possessing eyes of liquid gold or silver, or black, but on occasion hazel, copper or green.

On Talan'ith: 

Sun elves are often considered to be high elves from Nostaen'Laf also known as Quillinnia. They along with the normal moon elves also known as wood elves populate the area around Yarrow as well as some settlements in the deserts around Drakeston. Most often they govern either as nobles or mages. A few will use their arcane skills to perfect their archery. Of all the elves they hold very high moral standards and often will frown upon bondings not agreed upon by the council. While they will bless bondings with humans (most already have elven blood in them) they will make sure as time goes by the human bloodline is diluted.

Sun Elves are noted for their culture and courtly ways, most have from light to strawberry blonde hair. Their eyes are always green and skin ranges from pale to a rich tan color depending were they live. They are the tallest of the elves and often are from 5.0 to 5.9 in height. Sun Elves are the longest living of the Elven race. Most Sun-Elves in Kil'Dar have some human blood in them. It is rare to find any full blooded Sun-Elves who have moved from Nostaen'Laf Most who do were rejected by their families due to breeding or other political reasons..

Normally elves do not have facial hair but those males with a touch of human blood often have light chin beards and curly hair.

Lomedur Kallow Arch Wizard of Starkson was a Sun Elf raised by the council on the Order of Seven Isle where he was a scholar cleric.

It was after he fell in love with the drowess Ortelassa and the struggles they had to endure due to Xanthurous that he changed his calling to that of a Wizard. For years he was a respected and honored Mage by the King of Kil'Dar. Lomedur's associations with the drowess were frowned upon by the Sun Elves in Yarrow but later accepted due to the nature and charm of Ortelassa. Years later Lomedur died at sea and many mourned his passing. He had three children by Ortelassa they were Mallendur, Lirima and Belbol'Xukuth.
