The Elves are pretty much kaput because of their own folly. Sure, they created the humanoid races as we know it, but this was done to make servants. Great time to be alive, eh?But then, some of them went underground and were enslaved and tortured and became the Drow. Others were stupid and became Shadow-Bound. Others retreated to the Plane of Faerie, and the rest died because a stupid bugbear, Thurken the Reviled, long ago wished all elves dead...and he did, kind of. They died and then they came back as various pseudo-vampires, sucking the life from others to maintain their own grotesquely long lifespans. Oh, and I almost forgot the Aztec-elves, servants of the Yuan-Ti/Dragon empire.Then theres the ancient, destroyed kingdom of crystalmancers (c.f. Crystalmancy: the Powers of Gems) in a mostly-desert-but-with-some-freaky-magical-exceptions-continent.So, yeah, theres lots of "Golden Ages" to find, IMC. Because, frankly, the current situation sucks pretty badly--what with about 1/3 to 1/2 the world (a lot of ocean) enslaved by a dragon /yuan-ti empire, and a monolithic illithid/beholder empire underground the most politically diverse area of the rest of the world...</blockquote>
