Some notes:

Anphal: Anphal is the gigantic structure/space ship the Timeless reside in. It’s broken down and cannot fly. It CAN sail and dive, however.

Anphal elves: General term for the elves that came to Abode on Anphal.

Palace elves: Term for elves that either came with the Palace or descended from them.

Timeless: Name for all elves residing in Anphal. The name was originally given to them by a human tribe, the Jenna, who live near Aphal and use their outer walls for shelter in the winter. In human speak their name is “Ty’lyss”.

Jenna: A non hostile human tribe. Their earliest ancestors saw Anphal landing back in the day. To them it is the “Old-Place” and the home of the “Oldest Ones”.

They are, paradoxically, extremely hostile towards other humans, since Anphal provides a lot of shelter. Strange creatures and strange plants sometimes escape Anphal’s “gardens” and the Jenna are completely unwilling to share.

They wear masks, are very colorful, dance and are generally very theatrical (because they know the elves love that sort of thing).

If Anphal moves, they’re going with it. They eventually end up having their own section inside once Anphal begins diving under the water.

Bliss-stone: Original name for Palace stone.
Bliss-stone addiction: The result of prolonged exposure to Bliss stone is ruinous. It keeps a person feeling content and empowers them greatly. The sudden loss or removal of it can cause shock to a person’s entire system as it forces their body back to a normal state with various needs.

The Palace High Ones are generally seen as recovering addicts and deeply traumatized individuals.

Powers: Anphal elves don’t have the massive debuff the Palace elves have due to being so dependent on magic. Their relationship to magic is generally much healthier and they have fully adapted to the world.

“Timmain’s group”: An almost mythic thing spoken about by some of the Palace High Ones. Timmain’s choices/behavior is generally seen as completely insane, because a lot of context gets thrown away/isn’t understood/they simply don’t know. Even when there is context, she comes off as having cracked.

There’s a general sense of distrust towards her and the fact she repeatedly stopped all attempts to reclaim the Palace. Her showing up as the ONLY survivor wouldn't cast her in a good light. The expression “are you howling at the moons?” is a ref to her and a way to ask somebody is crazy.

Recognition: Recognition has been disabled by Maphara. The Timeless women have children with whoever they want.

Soulnames: If they descend from Timmorn, there's a high chance the elf has a soul name.

Wolfblood: Wolfblood lethality has been “phased out” by Khishel and Ocuoros who have kept in some of the beneficial traits.

Other elves: “Lost” elves or small groups of elves will sometimes find their way to Anphal or be found by various Timeless explorers.

“Why this planet?": The Anphal elves REALLY do not understand why Palace elves would LAND actually on Abode and cannot comprehend WHY they would let the trolls near the Guilders. They have had decades long arguments about this.

Trolls: There’s a group of trolls living in the hills nearby. They are known as the Silver Hills trolls and dominated by troll women.

Name: “Uli”, possibly Ankaya
Birth-tribe: Unknown, possibly Timmain’s group.
Parents:Possibly.
Age: Unknown, Firstborn.

Appearance: Uli is tall, fit and strong looking. She has long red-white hair. She has patches of iridescent skin all over her body, visibly reminiscent of vitiligo. It comes from her form not being fully “locked”. It makes one eye yellow/golden and some of her hair white. Her right eye is green, her left is yellow/golden.

She sometimes braids her hair into 3, long braids.
   
Attire: Uli wears rather simple clothes, a mix of leathers and fur, all of which tends to be gold/tan colors. She has an orange belt made from Beyond’s hair.

Role: Uli is one of Yionyi’s Gardeners and is in charge of a Major Garden.
Skills: Uli is a treeshaper and a vinemaker.

Personality: Uli is stern, serious and bossy. She’s the order to Beyond’s chaos, she’s very no nonsense, but she does what I’d call “deadpan absurd” things when she feels like it. (Like trying to bribe Yionyi with wine).
She can be quite grumpy and moody, often “farsick” for a past she can’t remember and the High One’s star travel. Think “cosmic yearning”, which is considered dangerous for her. Beyond has to break her out of these episodes. (Fic: Starry Hide)
Background:
“Uli” is not her real name. Beyond found her half drowned in a river and ended up giving a new name when the deranged woman tackled him to the floor of Khistal’s medical bay.

This leads Beyond and Uli to have a rather intense, loving, but very intense relationship.

Nothing is known about her background. Chenah speculates that she could be a daughter of Kaslen, who was born just before she and her group left Timmain.

Mates: Beyond, she has a few others, but Beyond is basically her soulmate.
Children: Padara (by Fayenek), Little Lark, Shadow-Caster, Tairah, Majaaka (by Beyond)

Name: Sharni
Birth-tribe: None.
Parents: Unknown.
Age: Ancient.
Appearance:  Sharni looks much like her sister. She’s tall, tanned, has yellow hair and blue eyes.
Attire: Sharni wears wispy fabric held in place by the gold shards that remain of her armor.
Role: Sharni has no actual role, she’s there to flirt, bicker and be a general menace to her group of High Ones. She might be a hunter, but she only hunts big game.
Skills: Besides sending, Sharni displays no magical powers. She’s a skilled fighter/brawler.
Personality: Confident, sarcastic, jovial, born for war and bloodshed and deeply carnal to her partners. Sharni loves bickering and brawling. She’s highly irreverent of everything, even Zharo.
Background: Being from the Conquest Age, Sharni was born and bred to conquer worlds for the Starai Empire and is severely stunted in many areas. She’s spent most of her life fighting bloody wars and once calmer/kinder minds replaced the War Circle, she couldn’t function in the “pleasant, kind and soft” society. She became war lord/bandit with Calidus, but was eventually defeated and imprisoned by her sister, Chenah.

It’s only in Anphal she’s started to display a gentler side.
 
Mates: Yionyi, various others.
Children:Several by Yionyi

Name: Chenah
Birth-tribe:None.
Parents:Unknown.
Age: Ancient.

Appearance: Chenah is a tall woman with long, blond hair and bright blue eyes.
Attire: Tends to wear tight fitting, full body garments, often blue.

Role: Chenah is from the Conquest Age and it shows in how she insists on maintaining a territory and making sure dangerous elements are kept out. She functions as a war chief.

Skills:Chenah is a metal shaper.

Personality: Stern, serious, severe and ruthless. Chenah is extremely calculating and methodical. Her main interest is maintaining the Timeless’ domain.

Background: Born in the age of Conquest, Chenah was a soldier along with Sharni and Calidus. She retired once their task was done while Sharni and Calidus became murderous war lords/bandits.

Chenah eventually stopped both of them, shattering their armors and got them sent to Anphal.

Chenah found Merheen on another world, the only survivor of a failed colony and returned to Homeworld with him and later left with Timmain’s ship.
After the crash, she formed a group with Merheen, the Wrapstuffed Serrilur. They later found an erratic Kaviq and later found Timmain’s group.

After 20 years they left and found Anphal where she reconciled with her sister, Sharni.

Name: Serrilur (Se-ri-lur)
Birth-tribe: None.
Parents: Unknown.
Age: Ancient.
Appearance: Serrilur is tall, nimble looking and has dark skin. She has shoulder length, silver colored hair. She has purple eyes.
Attire: She wears the remains of her old dress. The bodice looks like leaves which are green, purple and orange/gold.
Role: She resides in the Garden complexes and functions as Yionyi’s partner. She’s considered to be “a damaged elder”, like most of the Palace High Ones.
Skills: Serrilur is a treeshaper.
Personality: Jittery, daydreaming and deeply traumatized, Serrilur is quiet and haunted by the Crash of the Palace. She’s friendly when she’s “present”. Her mind was badly damaged when she was cut free from her cocoon. She enjoys/craves physical intimacy and has several lovemates and tends to have extremely lengthy relationships.
Background: Serrilur is a survivor of the original Palace crash and served as one of the Guiders that got brutally cut out of her cocoon. She was originally saved by Merheen and re-cocooned when it became clear her mind had basically been torn apart. She remained in Wrapstuff for the 20 years Chenah, Merheen and Kaviq lived with Timmain’s group.

She was believed past the point of saving by Timmain who suggested they do the merciful thing and end her suffering and then let the wolves have her body.

Serrilur appears aware of Timmain suggesting this and deeply resents her for it.

Chenah, Merheen and Kaviq left Timmain’s group soon after and ended up finding Anphal where she was placed in the medical bay.

She spent decades in Wrapstuff before Maphara and Ocuoros managed to bring her mind back to a functioning state and describes her as being a "resurrected mind”.

Serrilur is deathly afraid of everything outside and has never left Anphal.

Mates: Yionyi, Zharo, Merheen, Beyond
Children: Voi-Dre (by Zharo) and Hellebore (by Yionyi)

Name: Zharo (Sha-roh)
Birth-tribe: None
Parents:Unknown
Age: Extremely, extremely, extremely old.

Appearance: Tall, pale. Has spring green eyes that are described as cold. Hair is long and wild-ish and feels more like fur. Zharo has sharp teeth and his nails are claw-like.
Attire: Dark green, fine gossamer clothes/robes. He has a necklace that consists of dark string and large red stones.

Role: Zharo’s role is a bit hard to describe because he’s not a leader in a traditional sense? He’s rather like Savah, but he’s more hands-off. Due to his age, he’s the one everybody default to/assigned the leadership role to.
Skills: Zharo appears to be a rockshaper and has the general High Ones’ powers. He’s able to manipulate Anphal’s layout.

Personality: Zharo is aloof, calm, quiet and patient. He comes off as being standoff-ish, but he has a hard time connecting with most people. He communicates a lot by touching.
Background: Zharo was born in the Oldest Age as a small, furry cat-like creature that the Starai evolved from. He was found by Lokya, the original ruler of Anphal and was forcibly evolved by one of her devices. He quickly became her “child”.

Anphal is a Garden ship created by another species that went around collecting “samples” from other worlds.

Zharo eventually drove Lokya and her people off Homeworld and took Anphal for himself.

Note: Zharo’s general appearance comes from mincing Lokya’s and the Anphal’s High Ones’ actually just mimicked his since he can’t tell them apart as coneheads.
Mates: Zharo has quite a lot of mates, but Darkfire appears to be his favorite as he finds her temper “thrilling”.

Children: Many, best known is Beyond.

Name: Yionyi Yiri. (Yi-on-yi)
Birth-tribe:None.
Parents:Unknown.
Age: Unknown, but he’s actually the youngest of the Anphal High Ones.

Appearance: Not overly tall, Yionyi is slender and nimble looking. He has dark skin, purple eyes and silver/pearlish hair. It’s believed to be the result of the infusion of Bliss-stone dust. He has two small scars on his his upper lip, on the right side.

Attire: Yionyi wears the remains of a dark purple uniform he wore back in his university days. It’s cut up in a way that both his shoulders are bare.

Role: Yionyi is in charge of the Garden complexes and documenting, cataloging various things that are in his “field of interest”.
What his “field of interest” actually is, isn’t known. He’s commonly considered one of the leaders due to having a lot of "lost/practical knowledge” from his university days.

Skills: Yionyo is a treeshaper, but has no love for flora whatsoever.
Oddly, he lacks the ability to Send and cannot fly.
Edit: He can't read something like the Scrolls either.

Personality: Yionyi tends to be quite emotionally volatile, silly, sarcastic and preoccupied with things far removed from anything in the present and is quite irreverent. He’s quite jittery. I like to think most elves  would think he’s Firstborn, not a High One.

He can be intensely bureaucratic in his way of dealing with things.
Example:
‘I’m writing a lengthy, strongly worded letter to Zharo about this. You can’t JUST open one of the Gardens! You have to go through the correct channels. Me, Zharo, Darkfire, again Zharo and then me. Again.’
Uli: …what happens if I get you a bottle of wine?
‘I get even more bureaucratic. You cannot win.’

Yionyi has experienced being murdered by his own kind and resurrected and has quite a lot of trauma from these events. He’s intensely trauma-avoidant (a trait he realistically shares with Timmain) and is still haunted millennia later.

Background: Originally from the High Tech Age where he was a university student. He was exposed to Bliss-stone dust which triggered his treeshaping powers and completely overwhelmed him. He went berserk and tried to cover Homeworld in plant life and destroyed multiple cities in the process. He was killed by a man named Xerasan.
His spirit spent millennia sleeping in the earth of Homeworld before he was woken up by Indara and later resurrected by Ocuoros in the Magic Age.

He was placed in Anphal as it became clear he would have picked up where he stopped and was reported to be “very unreasonable, hostile towards them since they were, again, killing Homeworld”.

Mates: Sharni, Serrilur, Maphara

Note: He has a…very odd relationship with Indara due to her being the one who woke him up as spirit and the one who incapacitated him before he could “re-green” Homeworld again. Not helped by the fact he was the one to detect her and her group of High Ones and find them. There’s something to suggest they’re bonded to each other.

Children: Several. He is the father of Hellebore, a Firstborn with strong Starai features. (Iridescent skin and pitch black eyes)

I forgot to mention Pyre is good with spears, halberds and glaives, since those are most common weapon among the Timeless' elite fighters. (I'm not sure he has one currently, since he'd favour fire, but if they somehow end up in weapon museum...)

My Saint’s Row Boss, Cillian trying to get some shuteye and wondering if the other gangs can just sit down and watch cartoons for the next 5 hours.
At least that was the original idea behind this.
Now it’s more likely he’s hidden himself away due to coming down from the Psychopath High he had going for him in SR2 and being just little bit lost.

Wasn’t sure what to do with the background, but I ended up filling it with clouds/smoke and making a statue of some sort because Cillian absolutely hoards statues.

Brushes used for clouds and smoke likely belongs to Project-GimpBC and GimpBrush.

cecus the amount of lead I used could likely poison a small army.
Anyway my elves won’t leave (no matter what I do) and I can’t really throw them away.

Uli and a sleeping Beyond, in Uli’s sleeping quarters, I think. (she’s a treeshaper so her hut is basically a mixture of rock and trees)
This is likely some hours after their recognition. (which was a rather rocky affair because Beyond was a bit (Read: extremely) prissy about somebody being able to get into his mind.)


Edited Uli's hair on a old picture.

The original thought was Darkfire’s back/shoulders had been severely injured  by the elf named ‘He who lost his head to Uli’ (or Headless One or Bodyless One as the Timeless would later name him) and Erracin, who’s a healer, has been mending her injuries.

Here Erracin’s sitting up against a wall,after likely getting punched into it by a infuriated Darkfire who’s taking her anger out on Erracin because he’s friends with Headless/Bodyles One. In doing so she re-injured some part of her shoulder and pretty much collapsed on Erracin who went right back to mending her injury (because he has itchy healers fingers).
The healing removes both the pain and Darkfire’s fury and they end like this.

Erracin is kinda just trying to talk to Darkfire who’s zoning out due to the healing.

I have to say I’m quite happy with how Darfire turned out.

I was bored and I have been looking at Slenderman art alllll day and started looking into a bunch of creepypasta so I tried my hand at him.

It oddly enough helped me to draw a character that’s been lurking in the back of my mind for months now. That and giving him a ‘human heart smoothie’ helped a lot too. His name is either Skylar Jayden or Jaydan Skylar and is likely a demon who got really bored doing evil stuff and now goes around kills and/or torments actual evil people.

I swear I get the weirdest ‘Dark Overlord and followers from this drawing.
Merheen, the nice one of my High Ones, using one of two powers I’ve spent a year saying he can’t have because it’s just plain unfair to his enemies on Abode.
Of course he just tilted his head to the side, look puzzled, and said ‘there’s no such thing as Fairness on this world.’
Said power in use here allows him (and few others) to walk in shadows as if they had their own dimension. Here they’ve entered the stronghold of whatever idiot they’re at war with.
Merheen is likely saying:

‘Stop us from getting in? My friend, we’ve been here since noon….You must forgive my companions, they’re quite the fond of violence.’
