History
The Elves (or Èlfine in their language), began to build a society in 43 A.R.W., and had succeeded by 71 A.R.W. At this point, their borders only came as far as the area now known as Yelayew Forest. Curious as to the nature of lands beyond, they sent many exploration parties out into the south and east. What they found was unsuprising: more forest. Vast seas of woodland, each tree as tall as a Dragon's wing. Until about 200 A.R.W., the fair-haired Elves were convinced that there was nothing but trees and themselves. Until they found a primitive, stockier race. Until they found the Humans. Many Elven explorers thought Humans were more of their own kind, but, upon closer inspection, they found differences. For example, the ears of Human were about three inches shorter than an Elf's, and they were ever so slightly less in stature. Leaving the Human matter for later, the Elves began to advance, founding the Democratic Elven Collective, and studying the bizzare energy, known as Magic, that several of them felt compelled to put to practice. Upon learning what Magic could do, almost every Elf wanted in on the action. Sadly, however, some found that, no matter how hard they tried, they could not summon even a spark. Soon, the Elvish Institute of Magical Study was founded, and began intensive research in ernest.
