Elves

When the gateways from the Feywild first opened, the wanderlust stricken Elves were the first to go through. While their cousins the Eladrin headed west towards the coast, the Elves moved more inland to the vast forests that dominated the north.

During their travels, they came across a fair sized lake with mystical properties. Some of their number who drank from the lake, found themselves able to see beyond normal sight. Some saw the future, others saw the truth of matters, and others still could sense emotions of those around them. Algae had prospered in the lake, so the Elves began calling it Verdua, meaning Green Water. They continued to be nomadic, but kept within distances of the lake, eventually building small villages and calling the area Verdera, or the Green Lands.

Over time, the natural abilities of the Elves and the stories of Green Lake spread and the Elves were thought of as all being some sort of magical being. Their powers were coveted by the Lycari to the north and the Nerathi to the south. The Wolf War was fought over control the Greenlands, and arguably, the Elves lost as badly as the Lycari.

Rule by Nerath was never pleasant, and once the chance was given by the Crystal Wizards to rebel, the Elves took it. Since then, the Elves and Crystal Wizards have gotten along well, and the Elves have enjoyed their freedom.

Because of their nomadic lifestyle, most Elves have limited possessions, choosing to carry just a few heirlooms and any necessary supplies. Some small groups of Elves, especially the farmers, tend to stay in a single location for several years at a time. The ones who are sedentary usually have very simple houses that are crafted from living trees.

No matter their movement, Elves are like children. They are fond of shiny objects, regardless of value, and enjoy singing and dancing over most other activities. The moon holds a special place in their heart, as do stars.
