This legend is written down and kept in the great temple at the center of the elven world.


Years ago the elven race ruled over everything. Dwarves were slaves making weapons for the elven army. Humans were used for many training exercises and also for experiments.

They were modified into orks and trolls and giants. Goblins were merely elves that had used too much dark magic. It was a great age for the elven race but it was a dark age for other races.

One day these races decided to rise up against their opressers. They defeated the elven race because it had not expected an attack. The race was scattered into six different groups.

Each group had a different environment. They addapted their magic to fit their habitat. An elder was chosen and was allowed to enter godhood.

This created six gods. The dark elves though use three different magic types psi, dark and light. They chose to have three gods.

Later a single elf worked to reunite these races. When they came back their gods sat in a city called Hauroti, City of the Gods. Each sect of elves still practice their own branch of magic.

Our first section is history.

(I assume you have read the creation story so I will skip it)




After the races came together the elves lived in peace. They used this time to build an army and to master their magic. Weaponry and Magic flourished during this time. But something bad happened. A Dark elf who had trained in Dark magic rose and defied the Hi Gubicy claiming himself as king. His name was Cal Ome.

At first the Hi Gubicy tried to suppress this uprising with military and diplomacy. Neither worked and he soon had no choice but to stay out of the way. To ensure the Hi Gubicy's cooperation Cal Ome kidnapped his daughter.

About one hundred years into his reign which isn't very long for elves a boy defied the Dark Lord. His name was Laven Myron. Laven's brother had been kidnapped by the Dark Lord and turned evil.

Laven with three friends defeated the Dark Lord but his parents, brother and friends were killed in the process. Laven took up his rule as Hi Gubicy. This ushered into the next elven age. The Pursuit of Peace.


Next Age.

Laven felt that having humans as an enemy would not be a wise choice. They had a lot more numbers and were not as stupid as orks or trolls. He felt that an alliance would help the elven race. With my help he began negotiations between the two races. He eventual had an entire system of alliances with many races creating something similar to the UN. But then trouble rose again.

Another Dark elf rose. He taught followers that any human in the elven world, any half elf anywhere, and any female elf contaminated by a human should be killed. He had babies sacrificed to the god of Death. Baby sacrificing is never okay with any elven god. This was a god of another race.

When I found out I made it my responsibility to stop it. I talked to this god and convinced him to stop this because elven women only have one baby a year. To kill a baby is more horrible than killing twenty adults. He was stopped, but a lot of humans and half elves were killed and the UN systems disintegrated.

This was the end of that age. Laven put certain enchantments in place that I did not know about. I used my skills to "reboot" the worlds. This ended any wars and also activated Laven's magic. His powers propelled him into godhood which is what he wanted. He is now god over the entire magical world and can sometimes intervene here.

Currently I have set up an organization called the Federation of Magical races. Elves, Dragons, Unicorns, Specters, Phoenixes, Beasts, and Centaurs are in this alliance. These are races that are not accepted by humans so we have decided to unite but stay away from them. This system has worked so far.

The six sects of elves each have a different element, weapon and a different culture. The element they use has to do with the creation story.

Wood elves use the element of earth. They prefer to use bow and arrow and snipe their enemies from the trees. They worship the trees and see them as a gift from their god the earth god.

Hi elves are elves of the plains. They use star magic which is an element to control space and the weather. They prefer broad swords over any other weapon. They believe that star power is the most powerful of all.

Dark elves are the most confused race alive. Contrary to popular belief they are not evil. Dark elves use the three unseen elements Light, Dark, and Phsycic. They are blind because they use their magic to see. They commonly use staffs.

Water elves really do live in water. They use daggers that when touched to any object it becomes water. Little is known about water elves other than that they are the oldest sect of elves.

Mountain elves use air to fly and maneuver around the mountains. They prefer to use axes that are very large. It is believed that dwarves are mountain elves that have abandoned their race.

Venom elves They are also called Fire elves because of the element they use. They are proficient swords smiths. They use long swords.

I hope that that answers any questions that you have.

There are eight elements that elves believe in:


    Fire
    Earth
    Water
    Air
    Light
    Dark
    Psi
    Star


These elements are split into to groups Physical and Energy elements.

Each element has a different personality, body part to draw from and different way of controlling it.

When you begin to learn this form of magic meditation becomes a need.

Another thing to say is that it takes a lot of magic energy to control elements. If you don’t succeed at first keep trying. or any questions just PM me. I will try and answer as soon as possible.

Fire

It is a very strong element. Its battle strategy is to keep attacking until you can no longer defend. To start go outside on a sunny day.

[+]Begin meditating on the heat of the sun.
[+]Feel it burning everything in its path.
[+]Now imagine the heat concentrating into a small fireball.
[+]Now command with your mind that the fire obey you.

Fire is an aggressive element therefore needs to be commanded. If you have the energy and the correct mindset you should be able to create a small fireball in your hand. When you have mastered the fireball try other shapes like a whip glove or sword. Just know that fire draws its power from your torso. This is because your heart is the body’s heat source.



Earth

It is a more subtle element. An earth user will defend until they see a weakness and will use that weakness to destroy its opponent.

[+]To start find a patch of earth. Dirt is the best rocks work ands and I have never tried (tell me if sand works).
[+] Again concentrate on earth. Feel the rythym of the earth feel it beat beneath your feet. The power of earth comes from the feet so you would be wise never to leave the ground.
[+]Feel the motionless movement.

This is the power of earth. Imagine the earth rising and creating a small ball that you control. Earth is your partner, your equal. Borrow its power and use move the earth. Earth wants to help those in danger so ask it for its help.


Water

It is a kind element. It gives help to all who ask. The arms are the source of water power and therefore are where you should draw from.

[+]Start by finding a NATURAL source of water.
[+]Sink into that so familiar meditative state.
[+] Feel the ebb and flow of the water.
[+]Sense its pulse while it vibrates through your aura.
[+]Now move it with your mind.

Concentrate on it rising in a whip. Form it into a ball. Remember to ask. Water wants to help but you have to be polite. Water is a defensive element. You should use it to block until your opponent is tired then defeat them or demand their surrender.


Air

It is the last element. Air is energetic and not very vicious. You must be very careful when controlling air. It is a very gentle element in the sense that it cannot be commanded. You must gently suggest it with your mind.


[+]First go outside on a windy day.
[+]Now imagine and gently suggest with your mind that the wind slow down or speed up.
[+]Concentrate on it and move it.

If you have done correctly then the wind should respond to your request. You must never seem in a rush to get it done. Air comes from your hands. You must move it with this part of your body.


These are the lessons that I can teach you. The last four elements are very special for elves. We do not disclose the way they are taught. If you think you have a right to study them PM me and I will discuss it with you.
