The Ascended
Those who oppose the Elves face a staunch foe, determined, experienced and powerful. Many are the tales told of the imposing sight an Elven formation makes, glistening armor flashing in the sunlight, sharpened blades gleaming in anticipation of the kill. Their supernatural arsenal is equally impressive, bolstered with summoned, elementals and fearsime demons. Among the soldiers of the Jade House, the Yellow Lotus Eaters have trained a selsect few to harness the powers of their flower and demonstrate the marvels it can bestow. Those who undergo the training of the Ascended little resemble their brethren paintful, so much so that two in ten do not survive the treatment. Those who do make it are giants among their kind and treated with as much respect as the Lotus Eaters themselves. "Many are the blessings of the Lotus," is a frequently muttered saying amongst the Lotus Eaters of teh Jade House.
Physically larger than a regular Elf, the Ascended are powerfully muscled and incredibly swift. They wield two-handed blades with only one and are even capable of harnessing the lotus spawned magic that course through their veins. They are the pride of the Yellow Lotus Eaters and remain dedicared to their service.
