Sacrosanct

The Sacrosanct, also commonly referred to as Elementals and the Blessed, are a mystic race of Arteah.

Origin
In the year 612 of the Nascency Era of the First Age, the gods resolved to bless the human race with elemental powers. They sent eight Element Crytals to Arteah, each one infused with a different Element; four possessed the Natural Elements, and four possessed the Energy Elements. The eight humans that found each Element Crystal gained its individual elemental power and became the first of the Sacrosanct.

Appearance
The Sacrosanct appear as humans do, except they're incredibly pale and have distinct colored markings across their skin depending on the Element they control.

Location
The Sacrosanct, much like Ivors, can be found anywhere in Arteah, but their homelands are the floating islands that can be found around the world, most notably the Skislands found in the province of Calcima on the continent of Kyliahm.

Worship
The Sacrosanct tend to worship whatever god their respective element belongs to.

Lifespan
The Sacrosanct live an average of 120 years.

Powers
The Sacrosanct are a race blessed by the gods with elemental powers. Each child is born with the powers of their parents or, should the parents possess different elemental powers, the respective Element that results of the parents' elemental combination. Should no Element result from the combination of two prosepctive parents, marriage and child-bearing between the two is discouraged; having a child in such a situation is still possible, however the resulting baby will lack any marks or elemental abilities.
