Kindreds of Laith-Kourn
Known often as Alters, Shifters or Wild kin, these Elves can adopt aspects of the creatures who dwell within Athel Loren. They are much more isolationist that any other of the Kindreds, and though they see themselves as a Kindred, they live alone and generally do not mix any more with their own than any other Kindreds.
The name Laith-Kourn has evolved from a combination of the Elven root word Lathain, meaning storm, wrath, and gently falling rain that brings eternal sleep, and the name of the Elven god Kurous.
