Diplomatic action
The elves encounter the Fae for the first time.
Somewhere in the area where the elves settled was a portal to the outer realm of Arcadia. Having such naturally attuned people close to it opened this portal and the Fae entered the barren fields. Several of the Fae were attacked by the monsters that lived in the barren fields. A group of elves including Gielsolim, the current elven emperor, saved the Fae. One of them showed himself as Oberon the Fairy King, and he pledged friendship to Gielsolim. As payment for the help, Oberon granted elves the boon of Skill in Blade and Bow. Thus giving the elves a distinct advantage over the other races.
