High Elf

The origin of the High Elves is clouded in mystery, but it is said that they are a result of Human/Dark Elf mingling. As such, they have had a past of mistreatment and mockery as they served as peasants under the Human Kingdom.

3000 years ago, a sect of High Elves led by Deldarach Hawktalon began studying a powerful species known as Dragons, learning how they wielded a powerful tool that could manipulate reality. This group of Elves left the Luxford to travel to Wyrmeron, the homeland of the Dragons, and through countless trials and sinful acts, they found the sacred library of the Dragons with all the knowledge of the Arcane. In their secret lust for knowledge, the High Elves stole as many of the Dragons’ Arcane Tomes as possible, bringing them back to the Luxford so they could learn and spread the ways of the Arcane, their teachings spreading past the walls of the city to all four corners of the world, leading to an enlightenment of a study that the Dragons believed would be too dangerous in the hands of mortals, but by the time they learned of their recklessness, most of the world already used their magic in one way or another.

As the first wielders of the Arcane, the High Elves paved the way for them to fight for a rightful spot in the world and even claimed their own settlements south of the Luxford, no longer servants to the Humans. However, when King Yvain started his brutal attempt at conquering the entire world, the High Elves were the first to be attacked and held prisoner, their magic-wielders taken captive and forced into the war machine. Fortunately for them, and the rest of Auria, the Wild Elves succeeded in liberating the High Elves from the Humans and turned them against the Kingdom.

In the war to liberate the Luxford of the Humans, the High Elves proved themselves as worthy allies to the Wild Elves and the two races formed an alliance that lasts to this day. When the last Human Royalty fell, the Wild Elves wished to destroy the city in its entirety, leaving no Human alive, but it was the High Elves that showed mercy and persuaded them to reconsider this execution, wishing to give the remnants of Humans a chance in this life. The Wild Elves agreed to this under one condition - The High Elves would take up leadership in the Luxford and watch over this side of the world on behalf of the Wild Elves.
