In Literature

An elven poet of unknown name wrote a famed piece; telling a tale of his shock when the ships arrived home full of human loot and plunder, how the elves begged them to return it and then some but their own hubris and greed blinded them to their actions consequences.
Whether the story is true or a tale of hindsight is unknown. The author is thought to have been a passing Elven missionary who feared the wrath of Gods more than the wrath of men; while other think it was a recount of events by the Elven rulers daughter, who was famed for being melancholic and unhopeful about near everything.
