Eldin and Cera are the same race of Eldarin that went their separate ways many generations ago. Eldin and Cera stand taller than humans but slender and more wirily. True Eldarins are of fair skin and hair, and have talent for all things musical and derive much of their power through music.

Skilled in tracking, Eldin hunters will stalk their prey for days selectively choosing the choice animals from the herds for the kill. Eldins have an affinity with animals and can tame the wildest beast.

Ceras are great shipwrights and are known for their explorations of the various oceans and seas. Ceras are great traders and it is with them that most races have contact. Being chosen captain of a Cera vessel is a great honor and only goes to those who have proven themselves adept in mastering the seas

During the God Wars the Cera used their ships and abilities to keep the forces of Mearus confined to the land masses. After the destruction and the sunduring of the known lands the Cera made ready their ships, brought the Eldin on board and sailed west. They found a natural harbor on the land mass of Tethda. The Cera settled there, the Eldin migrated to the plains on the north western side of Tethda and established roaming tribes that followed the migrating herds of animals they found there.
