Elven tradition states that they first arrived in Palurin at The First Light, the beginning of all things.
== Elven Sub-Factions ==
=== Khêlékanni ===
The Khêlékanni Elves of what is now known as Nolthwyk, were the eternal guardians of the North. They were the first to encounter The First Men. An encounter which led to the untimely demise of the northern Elves.
=== Nariin ===
The Nariin were the Elven guardians of Beltheria. When humans first appeared in Beltheria they threatened the harmonious life of the Elves. The Nariin decided the only solution was the subjugate the humans to control their carnal instincts. It wasn't until after a rebellion that the two races were able to found peace and learn to coexist.
=== On The Raadi ===
Before the rise of Sâlikhín, a great civilisation of Elves lived along The Raadi River in Drôhznia. These Elves built marvelous cities along the Raadi, most of which still stand today and servce as the capitals of The Drôhznian Empire. While a great number of these Elves were killed during Sâlikhín's conquests, many still live in the empire today. Most of the Anarâjhas, the leaders of the Drôhznian faith, have been Raadi Elves. 
=== The Teldari ===
Of all the races of Elves, the Teldari are the most advanced and most secretive. Secluded in The Teldari Vale, these Elves have built a magnificent civilisation that is closed off to all others. Not much is known about this society; the only contact the other races of the world have with them is through the few trading ports that aren't closed off, such as Opal Rock.
=== Nûmeré ===
Residing within the ancient groves of Arland, are the reclusive Nûmeré. Thousands of years ago, the Nûmeré were almost wiped out when the magical leylines of Arland opened and monsters from another realm invaded. Since this calamity, the Nûmeré's numbers have dwindled and they now stay secluded in their forest homes. Category:Elves
