THE ELVEN TIMELINE (From an Elfs perspective)
The Elves arrived on North Island and rapidly established an Empire, bringing order to the chaos that until then dominated. Controlling the sea and the skies, the Empire established strongholds across the continent and where necessary, subjugated the native races.
An evil demigod, Soratan, united many of the indigenous races along with the Intelligent and semi intelligent monsters and led a rebellion against the Elven Empire.
Humans arrive at Far Haven, initially small in numbers but they prove malleable and side with the Empire. Around this time, the more civilised of the indigenous races also begin to break away from Soratan – despairing of his vicous savagery. This gives the Empire the room to manoeuvre that it needs and it begins to prevail over the rebellion.
Circa -350 years: Unable to defeat the Elves, Soratan leads the remains of his rebellious horde through the veil, the victorious Elves noted the departure and started researching.
Those few “monsters” left behind hide out and formed the precursors to what are now known as the Centaur, Giant, Ariel, Lizardman and Troll [and MaratsenEmail 2021-04-29 08:19] races – intelligence to survive became a pre-requisite.
Circa- 300 years: The Empire researches a way to piece the veil, and believing it is their responsibility to deal with Soratan – leave the island en masse. In great sacrifice, they use the power of the Cloud Castles to fuel the spell of departure, leaving 1 catastrophically destroyed (Cracks of Doom), 3 Grounded (StarPort, StarStorm, DarkStar) and the only survivor (The Sky Fleet) travels through the veil with the Elves.
Sadly the Elven destination was a different plane to the one travelled to by Soratan, and so the Elves have been searching for a way to return and protect the North Island ever since. Thankfully a group of indigenous researchers who had been investigating the history of the island and realised the benefits of alliance with the Elves. With their assistance, the Elves have managed to reopen some gateways to return and are looking to return order to the Island. Unfortunately, in their clumsiness the researchers also appear to have provided a way for Soratan and his hordes to return.
