The picture depicts three portraits of a single character, an elf with golden skin, long, white hair, and blue eyes. In our setting, we decided to bring the culture of light/high elves closer to classic Egyptian culture, without the most boring and overused tropes. We will not copy much, but we will draw inspiration from clothing, speech, and writing. We'll have to think about funerary traditions to make them unique. The race itself will not only be "light". This is the privilege of the aristocracy. Peasants will have orange skin, almost copper-colored like the canonical Egyptians. A few words about drawings on the face. Names play an important role in Egyptian magic, especially full personal names. To use true magic, you must reveal your full name to the deity. This is dangerous because during rituals, priests may experience pain as a punishment for drawing on divine powers. "A priest who knows magic" simply means belonging to a temple of some god. Magic here also means simple spells that work half the time.
