The existence mentioned in the folk legends of the continent was also a real and intelligent species, not a fabricated myth.
Of course, the term "Elf" that was used by Leon was his own interpretation.
Pointed ears, beautiful appearance, longevity... For Leon personally, there was no more appropriate title than "Elf" from his previous life.
In the Mage Tower Library, there were special local terms for these beautiful, long-lived creatures with pointed ears.
However, unlike the ancient language with direct terms like "Helarn" or "dwarfs," which nearly bore a derogatory simplicity.
That species, similar to the elves from Leon's memories of his former life, was respectfully referred to as "Isulan" by the Lorelettians.
Meaning "elder" or "ancient one," and also carrying the implication of a mentor.
In Lorelettian history, the elves of Isulan who lived on the Big Ark and the Floating Islands were said to have aided the Lorelettian ancestors in exploring the ways of magic.
