Descending from the Ancient Ameranthian Elves Who once ruled the world, The tried to pick up where their ancestors left off. For a time they tried to keep there hold on their lands, magic, and ancient technology that was left behind by there forbears. But the technology was eventually lost, and the ancient Ameranthian cities were reduced to ruins.
The high Elves didn't entirely start from scratch they eventually built new and beautiful cities using there magics, they also reclaimed a lot of lands that were abandoned. Once they had solidified there position in the world they began to continue there way of life unimpeded.
From that point forward the high elves have had a rough go at life. They tried maintaining a slave population, only to have it rebel against them. They tried to reclaim the lost cities of their forebearers, only to be denied in courts. They even lost a civil war against their distant cousins the 'Dark Elves'.
