Elf

The Elves (or Fairies in foreign versions) were once one of the predominant races of the Arad Continent. Known for their long lifespan, pointy ears, fair skin, and knowledge for magic, the Elves were the protectors of the Great Pentacles left by the Great Mage Myre.

After the Great Blaze burned down Grand Flores, the Elves mysteriously disappeared. Only two of their kind are known to remain.

History

Long ago, the inhabitants of the original continent of Arad were predominantly Elves and Humans. As time went by, they became grieved with their home as it became too overpopulated and strife-filled to fulfill the needs of its growing masses. To solve this issue, a white hooded, wandering magician appeared who was proficient in a peculiar form of magic, nature manipulation. This individual was named the Great Mage Myre. With his magical prowess, he separated the original continent from the planet’s crust and much of its ocean and suspended it in the sky with a giant magical array (or pentacle), exposing a vast amount of land beneath. With the power of Myre’s Pentacle, it replicated the sunlight and seasonal patterns from above and exhibited them below, making life possible on the new continent.

From then on, the planet Arad was separated into two sections, the heavenly realm (known as Empyrean) and the Arad Continent, split by a body of water known as the Middle Ocean. With the ascension of Empyrean, a large gulf was created in the center of the continent.

Afterward, the races of Empyrean used magic to construct a building known as the Sky Tower to connect the two worlds, beginning the Great Exodus. Those who were brave enough and wished to leave ventured down through the tower and settled on the Arad Continent as their new home. Long afterward, the structure was used as a means of trade and communication between the two continents.

However, starting a new life was not as easy as it seemed. Despite the power of Myre’s Pentacle, the continent was still inhospitable and filled with desert. To this end, Myre aided the people by creating stone-structure based magical seals called Great Pentacles all over the land. These magical seals connected to Myre’s giant pentacle in the sky and used magic to artificially generate flora to their surroundings. From then on, the races gathered in these areas and created vast civilizations. The Elves, in particular, tasked themselves in protecting these structures because they knew if the pentacles were to be destroyed, the land would revert back to its original desert state, or potentially (in a worst case scenario) result in a destabilization in Myre's Pentacle and cause the Arad Continent to sink back within the depths of the ocean.

A Temporary Peace

Initially, upon the establishment of the Arad Continent, the races, mainly the Elves and the Humans, used to commingle with one another and lived in peace. However, this peace was short lived.

Time passed, conflicts escalated, and the races began to isolate themselves, occupying different parts of the continent. The Elven race, in particular, became heavily deterred by the Human races’ growing hostility and barbaric nature. In response, they began to relocate themselves into other areas, seemingly disappearing from the continent: some went into the forests to the west while others (later known as Dark Elves) went underground to the south. Along with their relocation, the Elves took with them their secrets of the magical arts. As generations passed, eventually most humans lost their connections and affinity to magic, resulting them to devolve into a feudal-like state.
