Alelf Society

A nomadic group or nation of Alelves. They wandered around the Underdark.

Structure

They were a union of wandering tribes. They followed the Oracle, although their definition of it is almost certain to be different.

History

They invented the Alelvish language to lay messages to each other to escape the Orcs. Which is strange because they should have been totally separate from Green Horde, so it brings up many theories as to how they knew about each other. The currently most widely accepted theory is that their connection severed either during the Allquake or the opening of the Underdark.

Disbandment

The Violet Queen's rebellion destroyed the society. The Violet Throne was formed from their corpse.

The Violet Queen's rebellion
Revolution

"Why would you end the lives of so many elad? We have not wronged you ever, so why must we die?" - said the last one. There was no emotion in her eyes as she looked down upon the begging Alelf. "I'd look weak otherwise." - answered the queen of the rebellion.

These knivar are not so different from dwarov. We both suffer from the oppressors of down below, so let us join. We, the törp, and them the elfs. From now on the dali are both of us. Long live the Dwarovár! Long live the Dalivar!
