The Elders (Chinese: 神民; Pinyin: Shénmín) refer to an umbrella term for a small group of Terran races who were formerly the ruling class of Terran nations, but today are equal to, if not in a higher status than the Ancients. They are possibly the progenitors of many Terran races, possessing superior abilities lost to time such as elongated lifespan that could surpass many Ancients, and unimaginable Arts that are exaggerated in many legends (e.g. weather control and spiritual communication). Due to these unique traits, many Elders see themselves as "pure-blooded", hence distinguishing themselves from the rest politically.
All Elders may be Ancients, yet not all Ancients are Elders. However, it is certain that Elders are one of the "alien invaders" alongside the Ancients, who forcefully occupied the homeland of the Teekaz/Sarkaz.[1][2]
During their time as Terra's bourgeoisie, the Elders implemented rigid, racist, and unfair inegalitarian policies. Their dominance came to an end after the Ursi took over Hippogryph Empire (now the Ursus Empire) following their failure to protect the Ursi from the Khagan's Nightzmoran horde.[3]
