Historians believe that they where fleeing some type of disaster in there original homelands. Senmežs originally rejected the wood elves into the grove, but over time as the wood elves nurtured and took care of the forest they where let in. So the wood elf lived in this forest for millennia
=== The Empires conquest of Senmežs ===
The wood elves didn't have any standing millinery as the forest was usually enough to defend them from any outside threats and the times that the forest couldn't defend them the enemy forces where hurt enough for simple citizens to take care of them. But a new nation was raising in the region and it was a lot more organized as the prior arms which attacked the forest, they quickly took down the forest and didn't leave much chance for the wood elves to organize a defensive. The wood elves who fought perished, leaving the few to flee underground. The wood elf, animal, tree spirits that perished in this war the Seni call, Veļi. The Empire used this land to grow farms and make forts slowly destroying the forest till it was no more.

They struck fast, destroying most of there forts in day leaving just one, the biggest castle on the peninsula.
