Elves migrated to the Known World many millennia ago. An arcane cataclysm ages ago caused those elves to flee beneath the surface. They were forced to stay there, because a brief ice age covered their former home underneath an ice sheet, and eventually adapted to life there. Thousands years after the cataclysm that cause the ancient ancestors of the Shadow Elves to flee beneath the surface, the small ice sheet had melted, and races migrated all over the continent including some clans of normal surface elves returning to the region...That is a very brief and very simplified summary. The links above cover it in greater detail.</blockquote>
