History

The elves emerged almost half a millennia after the end of The First War since it took many generations for the descendants of the heroes to become the people they were blessed to be. However, it didn't take long for the elves to leave Mag Mell in search of their own land. While they all remained in Ecíos, from here their joint history ends.
