General History

Centuries ago when the Elves and the Dragons lived together as brothers, a small faction of Elves grew jealous of the superior magical powers of the Dragons. Over time this jealousy grew into hatred. Blinded by their hatred they sought to take the powers for their own. These Elves would later be known as Dark Elves. The Dark elves began to steal the dragons away in the night and sacrifice them to the dark gods in exchange for power. When the other elves learned of this treachery they split into factions each thinking they knew what the best coarse of action was. But by now there were few Dragons left alive. The smallest faction left for the deep woods of the earth where they felt they could use their closeness to nature to protect the dragons. The dragons not wanting to leave their "little brothers" un guided agreed to seperate along with the factions. The Elves later to be known as High Elves sought to remove themselves from the world, moving to the islands off the coast. There they felt they would have the time to master the magical arts before anyone else could reach the Isles, for with out a dragon, it was a treacherous trek indeed. The rest of the Elves choose to stay and fight. They saw no reason to flee; they made strong their positions and began what was later to be known as the 1000-year war. The battles with the dark elves always came at night, when their powers were strongest. Due to this fact the remaining Elves were forced to sleep during the day, when it was safe, and fight at night. Over time they became Nocturnal and were called Night Elves. It was after this war that the first boundaries of the shadow land were formed.
