Elf
From BelegarthWiki
There are four main branches of the Elven Family:
Centuries ago when Elves and Dragons lived together as brothers, a small faction of Elves grew jealous of the 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 even by now there were very 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 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 could defend the few remaining dragons from the evil using their superior naval might. The elves later to be known as the Night Elves choose to stay and fight. They saw no reason to flee; they made strong their positions and began what was later known as the 1000-year war. It was after this war that the original boundaries of the shadow land were formed.
