For reasons lost to history, at least in the history of shorter-lived races, the elves withdrew their common involvement with other peoples and kingdoms. They largely retreated to their own lands, usually deep within the wilderness or obscure fey lands, and have as a whole have actively avoided diplomacy and conflict alike. The Midwinter Fulmination did not seem to change this behaviour, and it remains true into the current age.

The Last Empire
FoundingBarely more than a decade before the Midwinter Fulmination, one last empire of the age rose into power over the majority of the continent. Rising out of generations of war, this last decade is thought to have been a period of hopeful peace.

The Year of Cinders and Snow
The Midwinter Fulmination
Era beginning/endFor nearly a year after the Midwinter Fulmination, the skies themselves were ash and the ground was fire. It took but nine months for Emir to shine His light on the peoples again, but the constancy of their creations had little purchase. Their empires fell quickly, and civilizations evaporated soon afterwards. The survivors had to begin again from nothing.

Unification Period
Population Migration / Travel"... The survivors in the Heartlands quickly learned that the racial divides of old would not serve them then and there. They had to work together, and the strongest groups were those that shared in their talents and expertises. They sought out the few lands that had survived the ravages of fire and ice, or the precious growing places that had since begun to recover. They built new homes and new towns together. All save for the elves who had already withdrawn from the affairs of the worlds millenia before, and the orcs who chose to keep to the life of wander." - A History of the Heartlands, 726 AL
