History
Originally, Elves fled the Fey Court to enter Aesteria and worship the Launousse. But when the Pale Elf Empire fell, a large portion of still living Elves begged forgiveness and dedicated themselves to the Fey Court. These would become the Wood Elves, individuals who would worship and work for a variety of Fey, in hopes of receiving blessing. They would eventually found the city of Emansera and the nation of Ilmora under it, taking control of a large portion of the West silently.
During the Winter War, the Wood Elves would engage the Dwarves in a bloody conflict to take control of the Hastlands, and succeed though at great costs.
