"Innocent waifs on the outside, immortals spirits on the inside, imminent defeat to the other side."

The Elins of Pora Elinu are one of the seven races in The Exiled Realm of Arborea. Known for their collection of a young child with an tail and ears and jumpy attitude, the Elins are not to be underestimated as their knowledge greatly vasts than an average person. The Elins united themselves with the Poporis in order to restore peace to everything that is harmful toward nature, and stop it.

Official description

The official emblem for the Elin race.

The Elins have one driving goal: if it’s not good for nature, stop it. Older and wiser than they appear, they join with forces of nature and mortal races to sweep their enemies from the battlefield. Their speech is often dark, forthright, and otherworldly, and their sense of humor can border on vicious. Other races find the Elins' manner and behavior off-putting.

History

Regardless where they live, the Elins will not tolerate anything that goes against nature. Popolion will be the first stop at peace.

Building corporeal forms around tiny fragments of her own divine being, the goddess Elinu created the Elins. Their physical appearance reflected the youngest daughter of Arun's naïve desire for beauty and peace. An Elin queen governs both the Elins and the Poporis, with whom they share a history and a mission. The queen and her forces have proven their wisdom and diplomatic prowess in peace, and their tactical and fighting prowess in war.

Elins Today

Both the Elins and Poporis champion the cause of nature, but the bond between them is deeper than that. As a single nation they repair, protect, and preserve the world they live in and love above all else. The Popori Nation was among the first to join the federation. Recognizing the Argon Invasion to be a threat to all nature, the Elin queen promptly rallied all of her forces, Popori and Elin, to the cause.

Capital City: Pora Elinu

Pora Elinu.

Pora Elinu is not a large city, being wholly contained inside the trunk of a single tree, but it holds a large place in the Elins' hearts. Pora Elinu stands as a tribute to the goddess and a pledge to always pursue her goals. When the Elin queen has to deal with matters of state, she and her court are found in Pora Elinu, but usually she leads her forces in combat on the argon front.

Trivia

The emblem that once used to belong to both Popori and Elin.

• The Elins were the last race to be announced. Although seen as early as any other races, they were considered Female Popori during that time, hence the similarities of their:
  • Racial traits.
  • Living environment.
  • Homeland.
  • Goddess.
  • Game files, almost every file related to Elin are dubbed "popori_f".
• By far, Elins are the most censored race of TERA. Once used to be children with tight panties and poking out nipples, the Elins have greatly changed when they've been localized to North America and Europe, removing any feature that could encourage sexual appeal to fight against child abuse.
