Twili

The Twili have had a knowledge of technology and electricity long before the dwellers of the World of Light, and thus are much more capable and more advanced than New Hyrule. Living without a source of light as the Surface world does, the Twili learned many years ago to create their own sources of light. The portal to their world can be found in the same location as Castle Town geographically, but the Twili realm must be accessed through the Cantara realm.

Characteristics
Twili people are clearly identified as such with their unusual skin colourings and markings. Further, the considerable height difference between Twili and Hylians sets them apart as well. It’s not a mystery as to why the church decreed that Twili were to be lumped together under the non-human category.

Culture
The Twili operate under a strict caste system that every Twili citizen is born into according to their height and eye colour. Red eyes denote royalty, or a rank of nobility very close to it. Orange eyes range in class, with higher caste Twili having a shade closer to red and lower caste Twili with a shade closer to yellow. Yellow eyes are found in the commoners and the casteless rejects of Twili society. Royalty doesn’t mean the same thing as it once did. The monarchy still exists in the Twili realm, but the royal family is more actively involved in their community than most might deem proper or standard. Expeditions to the surface world for supplies the Twili are incapable of crafting or mining are lead by the younger members of the royal family, usually princes or princesses not directly in line to take over the throne should the reigning monarch be unable to rule for whatever reason.
