Prologue
Blizzards and Forgotten Lands
It was a cold night. In fact, it was a very cold night within the youthful forests of Tirannwn. Bluffs of the mighty mountains to the east were aloft with feathery snow of pure white. Crystals and ice lazily drifted down from the dark sky, atop the ancient forests that seemed to shine, the snow would repeatedly make a silent impact with the ground before melting and refreezing into the larger mass of powder beneath it.
The mighty and aged green coniferous trees, which stood higher then even a small avian could fly, were glowing with pleasure, as they subtly turned white with flurry. Alas, these mighty forests of ever-spring were now an ever-white. A white brighter then the brightest light of a single star, a white lighter then the palest or most glowing of crystals. A white, that is brighter then the silver waters of the Crystal Ocean of the west.
Isafdar, the largest and most well-liked forest in Tirannwn, was abuzz with a beatific joy. The Elves were about.

“Faena!”
The sound seemed to endlessly surge throughout the entire valley. Yes, a valley. This was a sparsely forested area within the south-eastern forests of Isafdar by Lleyta. Lleyta was a city of elves.
These elves have been come to known as the Saesti, or in the human tongue, “Wood Elves”. The Saesti have been in existence for hundreds of years, ever since the rebellion against the Sutinari, or “Light Elves”, to reclaim lost lands to the humans. The two factions have been in war ever since.
“Faena!”
The voice continued to surge again throughout the southern forests – this time even stronger then before.

A tall silhouette materialized within a small glade, shadowed by tall evergreen trees and falling snow. The figure gracefully walked from the right side; a tone of placid owls hooting; and paced back over to the left side and only to quickly walk back over to the right side. It repeated this motion many times over, before again shouting, “Faena!”
The masculine voice seemed to overcome all other sounds. It indeed had authority. This was, of course, a Sutinari: enemy of Wood Elves.
“Faena! You better come out before I go hunt for you myself!* The voice was raspy, and full of power.
At this, a feminine laugh echoed into the glade. It was a laugh of an Elven girl, full of pleasure and youth. The child-like snicker continued to force its way through the clearing, until a woman strode out of the foliage.
The man grunted.
“Uiozãik Èsni. And what to whom do I owe the pleasure?” the female spoke, with a hint of sarcasm in her angelic voice.
“You are the Saesti leader?” The man’s voice was full of disbelief and doubt.
“Why of course, and I take you are the Sutinari’s regent officer?” The woman smiled, closing her eyes.
“I-I just expected a man…” the Regent mumbled. “But that is beside the point. Now I understand that you have some terms of an alliance?”
“Yes, I do. A simple agreement for peace.”
“Well, what is it then?”
The man’s voice was still forever full of doubt. The woman nodded and began to speak, “The rebellion has been going on for three hundred years. It has damaged the very forests we survive in, slayed countless Elve, and started a new skirmish with the Kandarin humans,” Faena*s dear-hide boots softly crunched against the snow as she continued to proceed towards the man.

“The poison waste fields continue to be a threat to the southern forests, and other races have discovered our existence. There are more and more coming through the Mountain pass, and many others through Arandar. As I’ve just said, this has started an uprising of hostility between us and Kandarin humans,” Faena was about ten feet from the man now. She stopped, as if asking if the man had any questions. He did*’t.
“On top of all that, there is a civil war happening that could be the end of our race. Me, and over three fourths of the Saesti Elves have signed an agreement to get rid of these medaling humans, and attempt to establish peace again. We just need you and your high leader to agree.”
Faena was now right next to the man, and took a worn manuscript from her leather hide garb. She gently placed it in the mans unmoving hand, before bowing and then turning around to sprint back into the forest. Her brown hair slightly moved with the wind.
Minutes passed, before the tall elve smiled, burning the paper with a magical flame. The red inferno consumed the now blackened material, before he crushed the ashes in his hand and let the cinders diminish upon the forest undergrowth.
He continued to grin darkly, and removed his blood red hood, from his robes. Long strands of jet black raven hair flowed down his back, to match his intense red eyes.
“It takes just but one mere traitor… To cause an uprising of chaos,” The elve chuckled coldly, before again speaking with his deep voice,
“Now the Dark Elves will decree over Tirannwn, and then all of Gielinor – with an iron fist.” He cackled into the air with an incredibly dark and cold tone. The very snow seemed to melt at its hum.
This man was called Rethar. He was a mighty Draenii - a Dark Elve.

Draenii = Dark Elve faction
Sutinari = Light Elve faction (They live in the city of crystal)
Saesti = Wood Elve faction (Rebels)
I spelled "Elf", "Elfs", "Elfin" the way I did because I believe that is a better spelling of the word.
When Feana said: Uiozãik Èsni, that is Elven for the phrase, "Hello, mighty royal".
I do actually follow 'rules' for the language though, so don't think I'm making up random words. XD

Hey 00 Pork -- I posted a response on the Story Discussions thread. If you could post your thoughts there, I would appreciate it.
I like that you're adding to it, however.
