As one of the earliest mortal civilizations, elves possess a deep and ancient connection to the mystical realms that are home to immortals. According to some elven lore, their own ancestors were once immortal beings who were transformed into mortals in order to safeguard the newly formed world from its earliest days.
Elven settlements have been thriving for as long as anyone can remember, their stunning cities nestled in serene valleys and atop majestic mountains that seem to touch the heavens. The elves’ innate connection to magic and beauty has made these places sacred, drawing them back to their ancestral homes despite being born far from the elven lands. This deep-seated affinity also fosters strong bonds between elves and other creatures who share their remarkable longevity.
