Elves

---

The Tel-quessir, Fair Folk, are a varied and magically gifted race. Their origin starts in an astral realm called Lorwyn, also known as the Feywild. A realm of power magical energies and capricious nature. Amongst the many creatures of that realm, the Elves were an amorphous spiritual beings that carried out the bidding of the Selidarine. A great trickery by the goddess Araushnee resulted in the Elves taking mortal forms, a part of her plot to assist Gruumsh in his attempt to slay her husband Corellon. While the plot ultimately failed, resulting in the schism between the Dark Elves and the rest of their kin, they were all cursed their spirits reincarnating into their descendants, plagued with the visions of their bliss in their nightly Traces. Centuries of rising and falling Empires, religious zealotry, and the High Elven Magics that push the boundaries of the Weave followed. And most recently the Death of Corellon and the rest of the Selidarine (including Lolth) during the Titansblood Wars has left the elves with no recourse, hoping one day a God or a High Magic Spell can rise up to end their curse and return them to their original state.   Ages: Maturity 100 to 700 years.

Dark
