History
Chapter 1, Creation and separation
From the start of creation, the elves knew they were different then the other races. More tranquil and calm, they seemed to resemble, unlike the other races, the Avë more than the Allin. They marked the start of their counting of years when they settled on the island of Galin-Dalar, the massive forests gave the elves the rest they needed, and they were peaceful for 214 years. But in this year a rebellion within the ranks of the nobles caused half of them to secede from the nation and decided to form a nation based on their own beliefs somewhere else. They traveled to the Southern Lands and settled there, naming themselves Drow, or Ir’Galin.
Chapter 2, War
The Elves decided to wage a massive war on the Drow, and they started an alliance with the Northern nations. Eager to shed the blood of their former kinsmen, the Elves declared them their mortal enemies, never to reconcile with them. During this horrible war, an elf named Finglos formed an order to fight the Ir’Galin and their influence, and with massive amounts of magic power he created an island called Muinen’s Gift. The island held a Crystalis big enough to flatten mountains, but eventually the island sank into the ocean’s depths, doomed to be forgotten by all but a few.
Current Status
Galin-Dalar is currently under attack by a large warhost of Ir’Galin, who have taken foothold on the eastern end of the island. A constant struggle for dominance is being fought, and the Drow refuse to give in, slowly but steadily expanding their territory by burning down trees and foliage. The elven population has spread across the northern lands to settle with humans and dwarves alike, their most prominent settlement outside of Galin-Dalar is the glade of Sol’Gedai, which is based around a temple to Muinen in northern Alinon.
