The War of Forgotten Lore

The War of Forgotten Lore was a momentous clash between two prominent elven factions: the Eladrin and the Drow. These distinct branches of elvenkind found themselves locked in a fierce conflict, driven by their differing approaches to magic and their desires for dominance.
The conflict unfolded through a series of grueling battles and skirmishes, with both sides utilizing their unique strengths and strategies. The Drow, shrouded in shadow and wielding their sinister magics, launched relentless offensives that proved too overwhelming for the Eladrin to withstand. Despite the valiant efforts of the Eladrin, they were ultimately forced to retreat, seeking refuge within the ethereal realm of the Feywild and the Upper planes - becoming Fey Eladrin and Celestial Eladrin respectively.
