Elven History

First there was the society in the sky - the Primal Elves. They have always been hostile with orcs and sahuagin, but were never in outright war.

Then there was the fall, when it all crashed down.

Then came the civil war between the Sun elves and Moon elves. The Sun elves won and subjugated both the Moon Elves and the Wood Elves. The monarchy that was created here ended a few hundred years ago, and efforts have been made by the Sun Elves to be more accommodating to the Moon Elves, although there is still prejudice among both sides, and especially towards Wood Elves.

Then started the war with the humans. Then the outright war with the orcs began. A truce was brokered between the elves and the humans so they would not be spread so thinly on both sides. The Moon Elves, however, wanted to continue the war with the humans. While orcs and elves have always had conflict - even pre-fall, the outright war only started around 100 years ago.

Now the sun elves and the moon elves in Ominira keep themselves separated, rather than by necessity. Elves generally don't like to have physical contact, such as handshakes, especially with people they have only recently met. They also don't really have many children as their lifespan is so long, with them effectively living forever until they are killed.

A treaty existed in Ilu'Oju between the elves and the lake sahuagin, although it remained a somewhat hostile relationship until the party got involved and helped to ease tensions a little.
