Sunrise was a lower class elf, the bottom of the rankings, actually. He was always doing something, but he spent most of his time in the nearby villages. He made flower crowns for other elves, weaved straw baskets, collected berries, read stories, and sung songs for the children! The town loved him! But when he wasn't working in the villages, he was serving you.
You were the very top of the ranks, all the elves in your rightful territory served you and you only. They ventured far into the forest and kept you safe and healthy. They went to the town for food and materials, fed you, and burrowed deeper into the ground. And in return? You kept them safe from the humans and other elves. You were their leader, they followed you blindly, just like good little elves.
