Elf

An **elf** is a pointy-eared humanoid usually of Rivendell. They are rarely seen living outside the kingdom.

## Rivendell Elves

The most common type of elf seen in Empires SMP are those of Rivendell.

### History

**Pre-Season 1**

Millenia ago in the mountains were the elves would settle, wizards built a library for these elves and wizards to store books, knowledge and magic. Years later the kingdom of Rivendell was founded in the mountains as a home for the elves. However a huge event that spread a deadly corruption plagued the ancient world, it is unknown how it affected the elves. The gods used their power to stop the corruption leaving two left while the rest went into a deep slumber. These two gods were Aeor and Exor, their story is told in *The Clash of the Great Stags*, a legend about Exor's banishment and ultimate defeat, and the later rise of two elven brothers who would champion the gods. It ends with Exor and his champion being banished to the Spirit Realm. These are the events that proceed the deadly corruption. (Please the legend to have full understanding of the history.)

**Season 1**
Thousands of years later a king and queen of Rivendell gave birth to Scott and Xornoth. Xornoth became corrupted by Exor as Scott became king of Rivendell. Eventually after discovering that the demon was his brother they went to war that lasted long. In the end they were both cast into another reality were Xornoth never became corrupted leaving the original Rivendell behind. During this time, some elves settle in other territories.

**Season 2**
Exactly one thousand years later, the fate of Rivendell is unknown and its elves are scattered here and there in Sanctuary (as seen in the Sanctuary citizenship records.)

### Tradition

* **Halloween** - Halloween is a festival in which the people of Rivendell decorate the kingdom to make it look scary, they also dress up as scary things.
* **Hierarchy** - There is a hierarchy system for the Rivendell elves. At the top is the king or queen (or both) of Rivendell. Below is the high council (see: *The Clash of the Great Stags*). Below that are (presumably) high elves/highborn elves (see: Empiresona). And at the bottom are normal citizens. Somewhere in the list are grand wizards and presumably normal wizards as well.
* **Storytelling** - Storytelling is a tradition that is seen in *The Clash of the Great Stags* in which the stories of the gods become stories past down generation by generation.
* **Winterfest** - Another important tradition is Winterfest in which the Grand Wizards use ice magic to create a snow/snowflake sigil that opens a portal to summon the frost elementals to bring snow every winter to the kingdom. Usually there were only 5 snow elementals.
