History

The Ironstone Accords

A Treaty between Elves and Dwarves that prohibits the killing of the two races, however this treaty does not prohibit the killing of Dwelves which proves to be a problem for the Gandolin Family.

The Sunswords

The Sunswords are one of the many Elven Elder Families of nobility that have been around since The Hatching. Led by legendary Virgo Sunsword, the family has been tasked by the Rainbow Convocation to lead the effort in watching over Dragon Aspect Golestandt and the mining of it's precious scales. Watching over Golestandt has not been an easy task over the years as the Dragon usually only stays in one place for a few decades and over time other factions have learned about the power of it's scales. Virgo has gone through great lengths to hide the Dragon from the world, but keeping a giant Dragon a secret has become nearly impossible.

Dalfgan and the Sun Keys

The Sunswords hold captive a powerful two-headed Ogre named Dalfgan who is capable of casting creation magic. In order to open Dalfgan's cell, which is sealed with creation magic and located in Alevasorin, one must get the Sun Keys held by Virgo Sunsword, Gwyneth Sunsword, Galen Sunsword, Sierra Sunsword, Kolvar Sunsword, Fox Sunsword, Merith Sunsword, and Leopold Sunsword-Barringster. An incantation that only Virgo knows must then be recited in order to enter the Realm of Shadows where Dalfgan is held.

Ascension

Young Elves undergo a ceremony in which they come of age and are from then on treated as adults. Elves have been seen to have massive gatherings to celebrate this event, and some of them invite many wealthy and famous guests. To fully complete their ascension, the young Elf must repeat the sonnet known as the 'Song of Dragons':

These words I echo are older than time.
My path to be reborn, my death to be defined.

I will train my body, I will focus my mind.
I will master the Light, I will always be kind.

This life is a gift, not given by the gods,
But born from our emotions, against all the odds.

I choose this path, and I choose this right.
The only choice left is to choose the night.
