A humanoid race of Alastari. Elithan are extremely lightly built (80-110 lbs.), and have feathered wings. Extended, the wing of a fully-grown elithan is about sixteen feet from base to tip, making a wingspan of about 32 1/2 feet. Folded, the wings stick up about four feet above their heads. Feather color is usually the same as hair color. Aside from their wings, Elithan are human in appearance. Because they have a high metabolic rate they eat quite a lot. They don't get cold easily and generally wear thin silk clothing with jewels sewn into it.

Most likely the creation of some god or wizard in the dim past, the elithan now live in a settlement (aerie) near Cliffhome, which was once their own city. Their homeland is in the mountains of Old Ratan. The average elithan is a little contemptuous of "ground-grubbers," although as a society, they're not hostile to humans. They were enslaved by the Rirorni for a generation, and are now an insular and highly defensive tribe. It is suspected that they retain contact with the dark elves of Faerhso. Little is known of their culture.
