The origin is lost in past but Elves developed as one of the first intelligent races. About 10.000 f.C. they still were tall and pale skinned creatures with sharp claws but until the 5th century, they had build a civilization.
Begin of the 6th century the First War against dwarven kingdoms cost many lives. After the war, the elves decided to create a natural border and increased the Big River by nature magic. While the Dragon Rush 940 o.C. settlements in Dragonia Vulcania got lost and a short alliance with their former enemy, the dwarves, was created to destroy the dragon nests.Until 1645 o.C. the Elven world isolated itself, but then parts of their army supported the northern kingdoms in their fight against the Black Army. Today, a few trade relations exists.
Elven Tribes
The Elven tribes are unique, in culture and partly biology. Most live in the Elven Forests, Fire and Shadow Elves on the eastern continent.
Living tribes
Extincted tribes
Politics
There's no king known. It seems that every tribe in the Elven world is lead by high councils, and there's an higher council which decides over topics dealing for all tribes. Aside, the Fire and Shadow elves are not part of the ordinary elven society, both are banned or looked for isolation themselves.
Architecture
While most elves live in small wooden houses or tents beeing nomads, the few structures they have, are unique in the world of Legonia. For example the giant white stone fortresses of the stone elves or high treehouses of the Shiarasin tribe in the Ahl'Shiara region in the south, but the villages and outposts of the main tribe, the forest elves are a bit more special: Their houses aren't just hidden buildings on trees, they BECOME part of nature. Using high magic, the forest elves creates structures intecrated in the environment. So, many travellers have to look twice before they discover even bigger villages.
