===== Azral Elves =====
Azral, commonly known as Azra (Kæzhyn: Az'ra) elves are native to Northeastern [[Borea]] and are found predominantly in [[Rohyca]],[[Kæra'zna]] and northern [[Syrtænzna]]. Their small population is partially the result of the selective breeding done between Z'rei elves and
Azral eyes contain a unique pigmentation which dampens Ultraviolet rays hitting the eye, notably effective in preventing the onset of photokeratitis, due to this - their eyes are most often shades of black, grey or pink, though can rarely present as red or hazel. Despite this they notably, in many cases, possess some degree of tetrachromatic vision found in their Z'rei relatives as well as the Usprian elves.
Another notable difference between Azra and other elves is a quirk in the Azra ability to sense heat. Relatively recently discovered was that Azra posses a considerably low amount of the warm-receipting protein [[W:TRPV1|TRPV1]], known as the [[W:Capsaicin|capsaicin]] receptor. This makes Azra elves considerably insensitive to not only chilli peppers, but generally hot temperatures and warm stimuli, which some Xotikobiologists have accredited to the lack of environmental need for warm receptors in Northern [[Borea]] against the necessity of cold-receptors, though such a theory remains hotly debated in the scientific community.
