Callers are my summoners. They can be found in the House Rules forum.
Well if i made an elven caller, the campaign would pretty much be very selfish and borderline evil.
There are callers of all races but elves seem to have the most disdain against humans.
Reason being is as follows:
Divine History
Arioche and Morpheus, the last remaining deities from a powerful and now forgotten God War, knew of an artifact called the Xaos stone. It was said to be a perfect crystal of rainbow colors about 1/2 a foot wide and 2 feet long. They found it and brought it back to Ry'ia and then to Arioche's and Morpheus' dwellng place, The Palace. A plane where they sat and watched Ry'ia grow and helped the people.
For the longest time it was Morpheus and Arioche who ruled the universe. Until Arioche grew bitter. She grew bitter because she didn’t want to take orders from some young kid. After all, Morpheus did look 18
So she scoured the lands for followers appearing as a beautiful female elf of inky blackness. Fitting, as she was always in space weaving and creating. She found haflings, gnomes, dwarves and even some elves to worship her. She retreated with them to the Underground, where she knew the location of the Illithiads should she need them. She wanted all the Divine Power for herself.
But Morpheus, although young, was all too wise. He scoured the countryside and the world for people who would be willing to help him. Some stayed loyal. Others who got the taste of power decided to help only themselves. Morpheus couldn’t take their powers away so he let them be but they know he’s in charge.
Arioche stole into the Palace one eve under the guise of night and tried to steal the Xaos stone, for its power was to recreate the world in the holders image. But it was gone and Morpheus stood their looking angry.
"I have shattered it and scattered it across the world in 7 pieces. Only when they are rejoined with they hold the power they once did. They are being guarded by chosen who will keep them hidden. They will exchange hands every so often so you will not geth them Arioche."
The Weaver left the Palace and Morpheus went back to the Chamber of Sleep.
The 7 shards were placed with a new group emerging in the world, the Callers. Conjurers. Summoners. Theirs is the gift of summoning and calling forth creatures from other planes known as Anima, Espers, Guardian Forces, Eidolons or Aeons. Callers come from many walks of life, humble beginnings and continue helping others along their lives or born of wealth and spoiled riches and continued thinking of their superiority over others. They are all on Ry'ia for one purpose, to guard the 6 shards of the Xaos Stone. There are some, however, who choose devote their abilities to the forces of darkness.
There is a major rift war between human callers and elven callers. Most callers have uneasy ties with other racial callers and most will band together but for mixed reasons and unclear stories, but the elven callers have retreated into hiding.
Human callers are the majority of callers on Ry'ia. Elven callers are known but they don't speak much to the other callers. Half-Elf callers are second to humans. They are torn between the war against human and elven callers. Gnome callers are uncommon but not rare. They tend to use their allies for pranks. Hafling callers are next to human and half-elf callers. Dwarven callers are rare but they tend to stick to calling allies who are made of rock and earth. Half-Orc callers are extremely rare but their are tales that speak of these remarkable people.
Tribes, Clans and even Caller cities were springing up and it was them who had the shards. Aelfin callers, human callers, dwarven callers, there were callers of all shapes and sizes.
The Xaos shards were distrubuted to 7 different clans. The garnet stone of Anger and Temperance; the amethyst stone of Lust and Prudence; the amber stone of Sloth and Fortitude; the opal stone of Gluttony and Hope; the saphire stone of Pride and Faith; the emerald stone of Greed and Charity and the diamond stone of Envy and Justice.
When combined, they create the perfect, unflawed crystal; the Xaos stone. A stone that could unravel the world and re-create it to its holders whim.
But many years have passed and these are all but myths. Technology is somewhat existant and magic prevails. Some nations harness the powers of magic and technology into what is called Magi-tek and some nations have banished magic all together and use nothing but machines who run on steam, called, Mach-team (mash-team).
I dont know why the elven callers hate the human callers JUST yet. Elves and humans get along but its the factions of callers that are upset with each other. Suggestions?

I see this thread headed to plots and places.
At any rate, the way you make it out, it sounds like the "why" of the schism is pretty important... at least the elven PCs understanding of the "why".
Are any of the elven PCs callers? If not, you say that elven callers retreated into hiding. Perhaps in doing so, they abandoned the defense/support of the elven community to which the PCs belongs, and they were forced to take the sponsorship of a human caller, and the services of some elven adventurer is repayment for the caller's tutelage. The elves may not like having fealty to a human caller, but due to some reason, the NEED a caller here and now, and the elven elders, while likewise reluctant, let the PCs know that they cannot afford to piss off the human callers or allow them to come to harm until they elven callers return or -- if they don't know the reason they retreated -- until their fate is known.
