Many of these oral tradition have been written down by human and high-elf scholars, but there is much dispute as to the vericity and the exact date of such legends. Elvish writings talk of an ancient race of fey which they are descended from. These "true elves" were undisputed masters of the forested lands, and were said to be immortal. Tales tell of a King and a Queen who each ruled their faction of the fair folk, eternally at war. These "true elves" mixed their blood with the creatures of the earth and thus the gnomes and the wood elves were born, which was their undoing. "True elves" are fascinated by music, which they cannot make, and cannot abide iron, which the mortal races discovered. As the gnomes and elves began to make tools of iron and songs and instruments of music, the "true elves" retreated from the world. |
