This newborn is still wobbly on its legs, but that isn't stopping it from exploring its surroundings. It clumsily investigates every corner of the cave before heading for the entrance. Before long it has made its way outside, where it falls into a pile of snow. You blink against the sudden glare of the sun and fall to your knees to search for the little one. The elk hatchling is difficult to see against the snow, but you can hear a gentle ringing that helps you locate it. Reaching forward, you run a hand over the calf's soft white coat and help it to rise. You laugh as it plunges into the snowbank you just rescued it from. Now a little steadier on its feet, the little one proceeds to play in the snow, pawing at the ground and prancing about.
White elk are majestic creatures found only to the far north of the Arkene. Their light coats allow them to blend in easily with the snow, making them difficult to locate. It is the males of these species who possess antlers, which are powerful weapons. Their most potent powers, though, are their bells and ornamentation. Their magic is made apparent through sound – when one hears ringing, calm emotions wash over them and only peaceful thoughts remain. This causes the enemy to drift into a deep sleep, leaving them completely defenseless. While this magic is extremely useful, it is taxing on the creature wielding it, and so is not frequently used. Elk vary slightly in color, and usually have cream coats. Whether they possess bells or golden chains depends on their ancestry, for reasons unknown to magi.
