Elvora

The Elmians are a species similar to the Toa but with added abilities. They exist in the Empowered Universe.

History
The Elmians were created by the Great Beings and served as scouts and explorers for the most part. They moved to a rather large island known as Niar; the island was quite tropical yet Volcanic in some parts. The Elmians lived in peace until the  League of six kingdoms began their reign. The League wanted the support of the Elmians, they also found interest with Niar's natural goods. The Elmians declined access and the League angrily retaliated against them. The Elmians proved themselves as worthy combatants and repelled the League's invasion. Soon Elmian foot soldiers went out and aided the Brotherhood in defeating the League. Some time later the Elmians advanced slightly in technology, though they strictly resorted to using melee based weapons and looked down upon fire arms. When their king, Lernius passed the island under went a depression as the council tried to find Lernious' successor. An Aeronas by the name of Crothov stepped up to lead, he was rather rude which made the counsil somewhat reluctant to elect but they did so anyways out of desperation. Crothov's lead proves ineffective and little progress is made. Crothov had soon heard of the Makuta's upcoming rebellion, he blackmailed them into adding his city's in wealth, in return he'd aid in their rebellion. He kept his promise and through the years the brotherhood gained control of the universe, however before that could take over Mata-Nui's body they were betrayed by the Elmians who easily defeated them
