Although they could bombard the land below with an endless array of lightning bolts and fireballs, this threat is abated by the Sky Elves being the most peaceful culture in Arkerran history, but they are not without their own internal difficulties. The Sky Elves conjure all of their natural resources, causing some internal debate over where the conjured goods are coming from, and the moral justifications for said acts. Notable Sky Elves include Canghem, the Sky Elf house representative.
