The Raelfaen and the Eladrin

With the coming of Shadow, the splintering of the Astral Tower in the Game of Mountains, and the rise of the ancient Fey power of the Aoltha Pana, in the Seventh Aepoch of the Raelfaen, a cultural and spiritual divide has occured, or has become evident, between who may be called Eladrin and who may be called Raelfaen. For fifty thousand years, the two races have been one and the same, interchangable and in harmonium. No longer is that the case. In the recent days following the Dragonkin War, the Pale Court of Raelfaen at Tem Salaam as presided over by Lady Kasalai, in the ancient lands of Unon, has ruled what all of the finer sylvan races have already known: the onyx-eyed Raelfaen are of shadow and can not be known as one people with the ivory-eyed Eladrin. Nowhere is this more periously felt than the ancient city of TemAol. 200 miles west of Gavin Wel, TemAol, the City of Silver Trees, is the Eladrin/Raelfaen capitol of Lauwerfel in the Feydark. Passions run wild in this ancient place of nethermagic where  fine weaponry is crafted, including Raven Blades form the Black Orchid Knights, and are exported to the rich success of its citizenry. What was once whole has now been split as a snake’s tongue, the paths of these two ancient peoples now diverge. How and to what mortal end all this goes, none now can say.
