	Most interestingly, the ~~Aelotoi~~ are winged creatures.

The wings fold against the back, and are diaphanous, insect-like, and can have varying shades of golds to silvers, greens, blues and browns. It is often easy to tell how an ~~Aelotoi~~ is feeling based on the position of his or her wings.<section end=aelotoi />		Most interestingly, the aelotoi are winged creatures.

	While living on their First World, the ~~Aelotoi~~ were offered sanctuary by the [[Arkati]] [[L'Naere]] during the [[Ur-Daemon War]].

While living on their First World, the aelotoi were offered sanctuary by the [[Arkati]] [[L'Naere]] during the [[Ur-Daemon War]]. There, on the new world they called [[Bre'Naere]], they developed a peaceful civilization and lived in prosperity—until the [[kiramon]] arrived.

	On Elanthia, as the power of the [[Elven Empire]] waned during the Age of Chaos, many hostile and cunning creatures that had once been kept in check arose to prey on the vulnerable peoples of Elanith. One of these was the insect-like kiramon. Possessing a hive-mind intelligence and a singular will to harvest natural resources to aid their own transcendence, they battled the [[Illistim]] elves for a thousand years until at last the Illistim expelled them through a portal to an unknown world.

Possessing a hive-mind intelligence and a singular will to harvest natural resources to aid their own transcendence, they battled the [[Illistim]] elves for a thousand years until at last the Illistim expelled them through a portal to an unknown world.

	When the kiramon went through the portal, they found themselves on Bre'Naere. The ~~Aelotoi~~, having never faced any threats in their history, were unprepared for war and were quickly enslaved by the kiramon. Over the next fifteen thousand years, they toiled under their overseers, harvesting the once-lush world's resources until it became a barren wasteland. Their physical bodies were modified by the kiramon that they might serve better as workers.		When the kiramon went through the portal, they found themselves on Bre'Naere.

	In the year 5103, a rift opened in the Wraithenmist near [[Ta'Illistim]], and a band of ~~Aelotoi~~ stumbled through. With their pupil-less eyes and membranous wings, they little resembled the humans that they once were. They were quickly pursued by kiramon hunters, but the Illistim guard fought the kiramon back and took in the refugees. In the months that followed, the ~~Aelotoi~~ learned the elven language and recounted their history to their hosts.

	On 13 Eoantos, 5103, speaking for a united Council of the Elven Houses, [[Myasara Illistim\|Argent Mirror Myasara]] announced that the ~~Aelotoi~~ would be granted the right to citizenship in all elven cities. In addition, an abandoned town off Whistler's Pass would be given to the ~~Aelotoi~~ to settle as their new home. The town would become known as [[Cysaegir]].
