Elves

Elves
Elves are the natives of the kingdom known as Everdale. There are multiple which can be found throughout the world, including Snow Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, and High Elves. Snow Elves are often found in mountainous northern areas. They have pale skin and snow white hair. Wood Elves are the most common type of Elves. They have fair, or tan skin, large eyes, and a wide variety of hair colors. Wood Elves also have the longest ears of any elves. Dark Elves are one of the more unknown types of Elves. They dwell deep in the forests, or in caves. High Elves are similar to Wood Elves, but they do not share the same tanned skin. The majority of Elven Mages are High Elves. High Elves tend to live with Wood Elves, although they naturally consider themselves the Wood Elves superiors. Elven traditions say that as soon as a young elf is of the age to survive on his or her own, at around six or seven, they should be taken out to a camp deep in the wilderness where they will grow up with other Elven youths. When they reach their late teens, the Elves will return home to the place of their birth to start a family of their own.

Alien Origins
In ancient Elven lore, they hail from a forested world called Ell'Raeth, also known as the Sunset Realm. Ell'Raeth was a vast forested world, of lush jungles, and vast mountain ranges. It was, in all senses of the word a paradise. There, long before there was nature on earth, the Elves grew their enormous trees, and built tremendous cities atop these forests. Elven mages, philosophers, and artists made great strides in technology, building vast empires under across the Sunset Realm. The Elves saw their sun, called Shial as their protector, and guardian. Unfortunately though, this belief would be their downfall. Elven architects constructed a colossal tower called the Sunset Spire.

The Great Tower
The tower was built so large, as to reach out of Ell’Raeth itself. This would allow mages to channel power into Shial, and by doing so, shine its rays further onto Ell’Raeth. This folly destroyed their civilization. Shials rays of heat struck the Sunset Realm with incredible force, burning the world alive. At once great portals were constructed. As Ell’Raeth burned around them, the Elves fled through these gates. In the end, these gates led to Earth five thousand years ago. Nature on Earth had just begun at this point, and was struggling to survive in the harsh environment. The Elves quickly put their magic to use, growing great forests to be sanctuaries for survivors of this apocalypse. The first Elf sanctuary soon became known as Everdale.
