Elves

According to legends told by the barbarian folks, the elves arrived to the region north of the Titans at the time of Symbaroum’s downfall. Some myths even state that it was the elf prince Eneáno who planted the forest of Davokar, hoping to bury the blight-stricken land of the fallen empire. Whatever the truth may be, the elves currently dwelling in Davokar regard themselves as the guardians of the woods. With reference to ancient treaties they demand that both barbarians and Ambrians must keep away from the dark deep of Davokar, and most importantly from the ruins hidden under its roots and soil. Every violation of the treaties is considered to be an act of war.

When the Ambrians arrived to the region they had little knowledge about elves, and popular belief still maintains that what actually are elves in several different life stages make out different kinds of creatures. However, conversations with witches and the few emissaries sent to Yndaros by the forest people suggest that the elven kind evolves in a number of phases; phases separated by periods of dormancy during which the individual undergoes both physical and mental changes. It is also indicated that only a minority survives the dormancy, while most withers away and dies before waking up to the following phase. In other words: even if there are a number of now living elves who were around at the time of Symbaroum’s fall, they are for the aforementioned reasons few and so alien to humans that they are almost impossible to communicate with.
