# Elestra The Elestra are Ta'enorra's newest and yet its earliest inhabitants. They are the elemental forces of the world given humanoid bodies. Each Elestra is born with an element, of which they exhibit great control over. Their command of the elements makes them both a respected and feared race of people. ### Elemental Vessels Physically, the Elestra take the form of humanoid animals, often mammals or dragons. This is in reflection of how their ancestors, the Elemental Spirits, often appeared in the form of glowing animals. Compared to the other animal-like folks of the world, their body structure is very similar to that of humans. It can be somewhat difficult to differentiate a dragon Elestra from a Dragonborn (who are distant descendants of humans) but one can easily tell a few key differences between a cat Elestra and a Tabaxi. For example, the legs of an Elestra are plantigrade while those of a Tabaxi are digitigrade. Elestra have very distinct eyes that make them instantly recognizable. Regardless of age, an Elestra's pupils are white and diamond shaped. Upon birth, an Elestra can have any eye color. However, as they age, the color of their eyes will change to match the color of the element they were born with, unless the eye is severely damaged. In which case, said eye's color will remain the color it was when the damage occurred. Elestra are easy-to-feed folks, with their bodies capable of digesting both plant matters and meat. Their teeth are very typical of omnivores, with only the exception of their longer-than-average canines. ### Control over the Elements Each Elestra is born with an element, inherited from their parents. Typically, if an Elestra's parents have two different elements, they will take on either element at birth. However, two elements can also fuse to create a new one. For example, a couple consisting of a Fire and a Water Elestra can give birth to an offspring with mist as their element. At birth, an Elestra will exhibit next to no elemental power but they will slowly start to develop elemental manipulation abilities as they age. The first sign of elemental control is the changing of eye color, which coincidence with puberty. Upon reaching adulthood, an Elestra's powers will reach its natural limits. However, with training, an Elestra can breach those limits and further improve their elemental powers. ### Widespread Presence The Elestra are one of the major races of Ta'enorra. While not numerous in population, due to their hardy constitution and control over the elements, they can be found in just about any corner of the globe, even in the most unlikely places. If you ever find yourself lost in the harsh elements of Ta'enorra, your best bet would be to find an Elestra settlement nearby. \columnbreak #### Elestra Features One of the many people delving the continents of Ta'enorra.
