ASHA, the Original Dragon of Order, creates the world, giving it form and purpose. She then gives birth to the Elemental Dragons, whose destiny is to guide and govern the world she created.
Mortal races are created as "servants of the Dragon Gods" and distributed across the land. Each chooses its own gift and its own patron. The calm and contemplative Elves choose Silanna, the Dragon of Earth.

The Wars of the Ancients — Angels launch a campaign against the Faceless. The destruction is terrible, and the oldest races suffered immensely during the war. Early civilizations and the kingdoms of the Elves are destroyed. The Original Dragons become a myth and are gradually forgotten. The peoples worship only the Elemental Dragons.

28-40 A.D..: The Fire Wars
The first great invasion of Demons. Before the Fire Wars, little was known about the Elves. Nevertheless, it was the Elves who called all peoples to unite in the war against the Demons, and many of the best generals of that war were of the Elven people. It was the Elves who held back the onslaught of the final Demon attack while the Seventh Dragon prepared his final destructive spell — although humans no longer remember this.

50-260 A.D.: The Years of Healing — the creation of Irollan
Recovery from the Fire Wars and relatively harmonious relations between the peoples
Large parts of the Elven forests were burned by demons, who scorched the earth and poisoned the water. After the wars ended, the Elves retreated to their wounded land and spent the Years of Healing restoring it, planting new groves, purifying the waters, and destroying the slightest traces of the demons' presence in their lands. Thus, the kingdom of Irollan was created.

528 A.D.: The Secession of Tuidhanna
Listening to his flattering servants, the third Elven king, Arniel, decided that elven power was too decentralized and the method of electing the High King too haphazard. Instead, he proposed centralizing power, passing it down by inheritance. While many protested these innovations, only Tuidhanna, queen of a small elven country bordering the Falcon Empire, dared to act and declared her independence.

540 A.D.: The War of Bitter Ash — the birth of the Dark Elves
For their part, the knights of the Holy Falcon Empire saw new opportunities in this schism and attacked Tuidhanna's borders. She turned to Arniel for help, but her messengers were driven from the court, and their pleas went unheard. "She decided to live and rule alone, so let her fight alone" — such was Arniel's decree, and he took no action until humans had practically destroyed all of Tuidhanna's kingdom.

When Tuidhanna had been sufficiently humbled (as Arniel believed), he sent his troops to the border and entered into the so-called Ash War with the humans. Neither side took into account the elves on whose land all the military actions were taking place. Desperate to protect her people, Tuidhanna turned to other allies. Her lands were burned and her subjects killed, and she entered into an agreement with one of the few remaining Faceless, who were rumored to have long since gone extinct. If she and her people would worship Malassa, the Dragon of Darkness, the Faceless would give her the strength and power she desired — those were the terms of the agreement. Tuidhanna made this deal, and thus the surviving inhabitants of her kingdom became Dark Elves. Both humans and elves were expelled from the disputed territories, and Tuidhanna again declared her independence. An uneasy peace was established between the Elves and the Dark Elves.

566 A.D.: The Day of Fire Tears — the death of Tuidhanna
The Elven capital burns in a great fire. High King Arniel dies in the flames along with most of his associates. Britigga, the Mother of Trees, revered by the Elves as a saint, also perishes in the fire. The loss to the Elves is irreplaceable. The Dark Elves are accused of arson. By Arniel's son, Vaniel, they are given a choice: exile or death. Most choose exile; those who remain are hunted down and killed without regret or mercy. Tuidhanna remains in her lands and perishes at the hands of the Elves.

The place where Britigga stood was erased from all maps, and to this day, no Elf will go there. Another Mother of Trees, hidden deep in the forests, was consecrated by the Elves, but none of them mention a word about her to foreigners.

585 A.D..: Discovery of Demon involvement in the Day of Fire Tears
The Dragon Knights present the Elves with evidence confirming that the arson of the Elven capital was carried out by a Demon spy. Messengers are sent to the wandering Dark Elves with an offer of amnesty and a return home. The offer is rejected.

756 A.D.: The Death of Vaniel
Vaniel is succeeded by King Alaron, whose gaze is directed beyond the forest. He gradually restores relations with other peoples. Alaron helps the Mages of the Silver Cities in their war with the Necromancers and encourages the arrival of merchants at the elven borders.

951 A.D.: The Fifth Eclipse — The War of the Grey Commonwealth
Alaron leads the Elven troops out of the forests, joining the knights of the Falcon Empire and the Mages of the Silver Cities, forming the unfortunate Grey Commonwealth. The hordes of demons were finally defeated, but the price of victory proved terrible for the Commonwealth.
