  Elves
   
  The elves of the Oyt, Dim and Hornwood have long lived beside the ffolk of Gyruff 
  peacefully.  Early in Gyruff’s history (Flan Tracking circa - 250), the elves trained the 
  first wizards in Gyruff, and their relationship has continued since that time.  As the Gyri 
  began to utilize the woodlands and lost some of their affinity for nature, the elves began 
  to distance themselves from their human neighbors. 
   
  Following the fall of Gyruff and the invasion of the Oyt by giantkin, communication and 
  commerce with the Wood and Grey Elves of the Oyt effectively ended.  The surviving 
  elves sealed off the Oytwood, challenging anyone, human, humanoid or giant that dared 
  to enter the forest.  In  591 CY, the Brenin negotiated and obtained from the Weeping 
  Council the right to place a fort, Caer Rhiniog, in the Oyt on the West side and to harvest 
  six Ironwood trees to be used in its construction.  When the Army of Liberation’s 
  activities in the Oyt began to encroach upon the elves, the elves retracted their agreement 
  and threatened to drive the Gryi from the Oyt; however, when adventurers recovered the 
  Tear of Corelleon, the Weeping Council relented and allowed the fort to remain.  
   
  The wood elves of the Dim Forest suffered greatly and lost many of their clan holds, 
  including their capital, Derelion, to the shadow dragon following the giant invasion.  This 
  more immediate threat kept the elves from assisting the Gyri in their fight to save Gyruff 
  from the giants.  While the presence of the dragon has deterred giant forays into the Dim 
  Forest, it has also prevented continuous communications with the now scattered elves.  
   
  Individually and in small groups, the humans of the Dim Forest have joined with these 
  scattered groups to fight the giants and the shadow dragon’s minions; however, any large 
  scale efforts continue to be hindered by the elves’ quarrels with one another.  
  Surprisingly, Darlon Lea, who relinquished his title and lands as Arglwyth of Ffwythlon 
  Dol in exchange for a pardon from the Brenin, has done much to improve relations 
  between the Dim Forest elves and the Gyri.  His personal campaign against the giants and 
  the shades of the Dim Forest enabled him to gain support of several of the wood elf clans 
  who have named him Kanótaurë (tr. war chief).  It is possible that the Brenin can use 
  Lea’s position and relationship with the elves to forge a new alliance in the Dim Forest. 
   
  Communication with the high elves of the Hornwood was cut off shortly after the giant 
  invasion began.  In the summer of CY 584, the conduct of the High Elven King divided 
  the three elven kins.  His alleged response to messages for aid from the Dim Forest wood 
  elves and Oytwood grey elves --“When the palace is burning, you cannot look after a 
  stable” -- lead the insulted wood and grey elves to renounce their fealty and begin acting 
  independently.  The elven kins’ internal feuding and increasing introspection has given 
  them little desire or time for communications with the Brenin’s messengers.  The 
  resulting loss of a once firm ally has struck a severe blow to the long-ago established 
  bond between the Gyri and the elves and has had dire consequences to both the elves and 
  Gyruff.
