Name: Ekujae Half-Elves (Wildborn)

Ekujae half-elves, sometimes called wildborn, are aiuvarins whose elven ancestry is derived from Ekujae elves.8 Many Ekujae ritualistically send their half-elven children to be raised in fully half-elven clans, believing that half-elves will thrive amongst their own kind due to the two ancestries' different lifespans. While most half-elves are happy with these arrangements, some see it as an unfair exclusion and advocate for further integration between elves and half-elves.9

Ekujae half-elves also traditionally serve elven rulers in the role of linguists, who work as diplomats, translators, and negotiators to facilitate cultural exchange with other peoples of the Expanse, also on the belief that shorter-lived half-elves better understand the needs of peoples with shorter lifespans.
