Elven History

The Elves of Daugveidu awoke in the region now known as Alfenheim. In the depths of history Alfenheim and Caliskan formed one gigantic continent, with Alfenheim to the east and Caliskan to the west.

The elves lived in the forests of Alfenheim and prospered there for many years before they first encountered the hardy Dwarves of the west. Though initially doubtful, Elves and Dwarves soon learned that they could rely on each other and the two races became staunch allies against the various monstrous creatures that preyed on both species.

It is not remembered what incident led to the War of Elves and Dwarves (it was mind flayers influencing the leaders of both sides) but one day the Dwarves came to the Elven lands not as friends but as the Bringers of Doom. This great war was fought for almost a thousand years with neither side able to achieve a decisive victory.

Then the Dwarves detonated a magical device in the middle of the great southern continent. The device triggered earthquakes and ultimately fully a third of the continent was swallowed beneath the waves.

The Elves who survived this devastation retreated back to Alfenheim to rebuild their shattered society.
