Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chimera" data-source="post: 1804802" data-attributes="member: 2002">As current usage:Twelve Hundred years ago, the Great Forest covered most of the continent.  The Elves ruled, though in cooperation with the various other forest races (Ents, Centaurs, etc).Then the Calaseans, powerful natural magic users, came.  They burned back the Great Forest to make room for their slave plantations.  Humans being the primary agrarian slaves, Orcs being used to push back the forest.Over this time, the Great Forest has been reduced to about 25% of it's former size and the Elves reduced to roughly 15% of their former numbers.  It was only with massive divine intervention by ALL of the forest deities that they were spared from complete destruction.So right now, they're on the ropes, trying to hang on, trying to resist the Calasean advance.  They see Humans as tainted slave creatures to be killed on sight, nothing more.  Just like Orcs, Dragons (allies of the Calaseans) and most other fell beasts, almost all of whom serve the Calaseans.In the far future (@4500 years) when my first 5 campaigns on this homebrew world began (I'm doing heavy retro right now), the Calaseans are long dead and the Elves have had over 3000 years to rebuild.  But they're still mostly reclusive and xenophonic.  Elves have moved in small groups to places all over the world as a measure to preserve their race, but for the most part, outsiders are NOT allowed into those places.  They certainly are not allowed into the Great Forest!  Elven PCs are those who have left their forest homes to explore the greater world at large.</blockquote>
