<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* Elves were among the humans, Dwarves, Ogres, and Orcs who rebelled against the T9A Lizardmen when a comet came down at the dawn of time. 
* Although they left settlements in Vetia, most Elves took to sea and settled their own lands. The Highborn reside on the island continent of Celeda Ablan. 
* After getting into a civil war with the Dread Elves of Silexia, they lost control of their Vetian settlements, their human vassals, and disregarded their mutual defense oaths with Dwarves. Still the dominant naval power, they vie for control with the Dread Elves. 
* They allow humans to visit their universities. Elven professors are about as dickish as you can imagine.  
* Their gods are named  Amhar, Meritaur, Meladys, Amryl and Nab. 
* Some Highborn Elves called the "Masters Of Canrac" are attempting to return to the ways of the Sylvan Elves, claiming that the misery of the later Ages is the fault of Highborn culture and that they have been blessed by the gods for their ways. The rest of the Highborn label them as "Apostates" but haven't kicked them out of society. 
* There is an ongoing saga of how pride destroys great Elves. In ancient times five Elven Princes were so superior that the god Dorac (AKA not!Vaul) created suits of divine armor engraved in images of Elven superiority, which empowered them to greatness until their arrogance was so much that they challenged a bronze-skinned barbarian warlord known for killing royalty. Their armor was destroyed along with the owners with their names being forgotten (the legend is literally called "Forgotten Kings"), and in the terrible misery of later Ages the first Prince of Ryma (AKA not!Caledor) prayed to Dorac to forge the remains of the armor back into a single suit. The story repeated itself, with the wearer becoming better and better until he was killed due to arrogance. The suit wasn't destroyed, and instead was given to the queen of the Highborn. Every year she selects a champion, who wears it for a year, preventing the story from repeating itself.
