Theians

Theian Elves (also known as the Ancient Elves) were a sub-race evolved from the primitive elves at the beginning of the Monolith Era from the effect of the Monolith. They were arguably the most intelligent beings on Martio (the other possible race being the Khaldos), and they were also able of producing huge amounts and using thelisis, an ability that no other race had without many years of constant practice. They also founded and inhabited completely the Monolith City, and disappeared with it at the end of the Monolith Era, an event known as Theian Genocide.

Physical Appearance
Theians are generally slightly shorter than humans, and very much shorter than the Aesara. They are also quite slim, but also pretty much muscle mass for their size. Their brain is larger than any other species at Martio, and Theian children that were born after the first primitive elves at the Monolith had purple eyes. They have deft hands with 5 fingers, but the thumb finger is facing more straight than a human's. Throughout the ages, their head size slightly grew and their size slightly decreased, and half of Theians were onjly half of the size of Aesara towards the end of the Monolith Era. Other races started to call them dwarves slightly before the Genocide, which they saw as an insult. Half-Theians do not inherit these traits, but their blood is known to be blue and their eyes blue instead of purple or brown.

General Personality
Theians are known to be very intelligent and cunning, and have a good sense of honour. However they are prideful and arrogant, and are known to act racist to other races, but generally never truly unfair or careless, as they did banish the Aesara from the Monolith City (from which after the City thrived as the amount of population decreased and the Aesara, who were partly intruders at the City) but even when strictly keeping them away from the city, they kept sending supplies for poorer settlements outside, and Theian ambassadors, advisers and capable rulers.

Theians had greater risk from mental illnesses than other species, and they were often suffering from schizophrenic symptoms, narcissism, or otherwise arrogant behavior. They weren't however aggressive, and rather solved problems through diplomacy (or dishonest plotting). Their amount of empathy is very small, and cannot understand other species's ways of thinking, due to their rational and enclosed personality. The Monolith City had a strict way of raising it's inhabitants, and this is thought to be the main reason of their common personality. Individuals raised outside the City or after the Genocide lacked many traits of those who were raised in the City. The Monolith itself could also affect the people.
