Back
The death of one fey proved to the men
that their
fears had been wrong. The Fey were not gods, they
were not immortal or creatures to be awed.
Rather, they were weak as any and to be envied
for their riches, their grace and beauty. The
gold and riches were no longer looked upon as
celestial gifts, but simply as items Humans did
not possess...and therefore were free for the
taking. The slaughters began...
The Humans moved forward quickly into Faerie,
thieving, raping, mudering, razing villages and
forests. As Faerie's borders diminished, the
Land of Men advanced like wildfire. The gentle
Fey were at a loss. Such had never occurred and
it was a long while before they fought back out
of sheer desperation to preserve not only
themselves, but all they held dear... The land,
the creatures, the peace.
It was the dark elves who struck first, long
before Lloth and the Underdark, when they still
lived amongst the other elven people. They
created their bows and magical weapons to defend
their homeland and as their support grew, as
others joined the fray, the first Human-Elven war
began. And the fey wept.
This part she remembered...word for word. How
could one forget the imagery...or the bitterness
with which they were told? Even now, so many
years later. The elves and humans were still
uneasy with one another, holding onto their
pasts, one with the knowledge of being wronged,
others with the knowledge of wrongdoing... But
she'd understood. She could see the way people
were now.. They'd not changed. Not as a whole. No
one had. Her ears droop a tad and she leans over
her book once more, the shadow of an ear
obscuring the page she'd just written.
Upon its end, Faerie had diminished to about
a third its original size. Its glens and brooks
turned to blackened and bloodied fields of war.
The hamlets and townships that once were so fair,
now were infested with Humans like rats in a
sewer. The wild creatures, the Unicorns and
Gryphons; Dragons and Faeries, were all driven
back to near extinction. Creatures of the Darke
soon emerged, Ogres and Goblins, Trolls and
Ghouls. More and more poured forth as the worlds
became further split with every thrust and
swordstroke.
