Sea Elves

The Sea Elves, also called the High Elves, were an elven people who sailed all across the Sea of Marmir and perhaps beyond a long time ago. They built colonies on many of the islands and coastlines, including founding Buruntiel on the Eriand Coast, on a site near where Karem's Beach is today, although the coastline has moved in the intervening years. Their connection to the elves of the Eriand Coast, like the enclave of Eltarvesh or the elvish pirates who sail the Sea of Marmir today, is unknown.

Stonework reliefs found in Buruntiel depict Sea Elf sailors leaving a great elven city, built in concentric rings, on a distant coast before discovering the many islands and coasts of the Sea of Marmir. The ship and its captain seem to have attained legendary status among the elves.
