The Eldrae'Nahiir, or Eldritch Arrows, are typically members of an elite tradition of Syl'vaen archers within Tir'Ehtele. This practice is a relatively new one amongst the Elves, being less than a millenia old. It was Kor'e Ma'halla, an Eldryn serving within the Vakh'na, who first discovered how to blend the unique powers of the Eldryn with the deadly archery that the Syl'vae have always been known for.
Since the discovery of this method of joining Eldryn magic with the power of the bow, Eldrae'Nahiir have made a name for themselves both within and outside of the Vakh'na. Their lethal accuracy, their supernatural ability to pinpoint their foes from a great distance, and the many other gifts shaped by imbuing their arrows with magical energy have become legendary amongst those of Tir'Ehtele. Even other non-humans outside of the woods often know that it is best not to attract the eyes of hunters blessed with such powers. A few centuries later, Anion Felraiial Syl'vae was able to master the same technique with the magic of the arcane.
While the tradition of the Eldrae'Nahiir is almost exclusively Syl'vaen, within the multicultural towns across Eramere, a tiny handful of non-Syl'vae have been said to have learned these techniques from the Syl'vae who dwell amongst the other races.
