Elves

Their kingdom is divided into two realms: Pen-Loren and Loth-Loren. Loth-Loren or the great wood is home to the wood elves. Pen-Loren or the great hearth is home to the high elves.

Elves are considered adults at the age of 45. Before this time they go through various versions of apprenticeships. The high elves allow their youth to choose their own path -where as wood elves receive assignments.

Thousands of years ago the high Prince Yariel faced a terrible peril and ancient evil. He sought an ancient weapon - the Crone's Sword to bring an end to the evil. Upon finding it he was forced to give up his deepest love in order to attain it. He used it to defeat the evil - banishing it to the shadows. Afterward the Prince disappeared from the world in a self-imposed exile. A prophecy was scribed that one day the exiled prince would return when the world was in peril to save it once more.
