History: In life Ezra was a High Elf who gained divinity upon his sacrificial death at the end of the Orc-Gate Wars several thousand years ago. His massive citadel in the Nether Spine Mountains became a haven for the elves after the end of the wars. In the intervening years it grew to be a powerful city and the seat of the church of Ezra, patron god of protection for Elven-Kind.
Dogma: The teachings of Ezra are of the most strict and dogmatic of all teachings. Duty comes above all. Guard and guide all those beneath your cloak of protection. Courage is the only measure of the self; cowardice is for peasants. To sacrifice oneself for the greater good of the Elven peoples is the highest ideal that can be embodied. Your actions in this world echo in eternity, and your place in the higher realms.
