Long ago the Elves were once united as part of a single kingdom. The ancient elves made their homes in the forests of a nd now known as the Forbidden Continent. A nd sealed off by the gods. That seal came into pce around the same time as the great schism occurred among the elves. The schism that led to the formation of the Elven kingdoms of today.

  Now as one might surmise the two events are reted, intricately so. What led to the two events was in fact something many would think innocuous. The summoning of a pnt. However it was no ordinary pnt, but one with the power to change the world irrevocably. The pnt was in fact pulled across realms into this one by an elf too talented for her own good in the art of summoning, and that pnt was directly responsible for the fall of the Great Elven Empire.

  Naturally a race attuned to nature, with a great deal of respect for all living things would have a disagreement on what to do about a pnt, a natural symbol of the natural world. Some fled beneath the earth becoming the Dark Elves and The Drow. Others fled across the sea founding settlements in foreign nds and becoming the Elves of today. While a third group attempted to destroy the pnt only to fail and be conquered instead. After their failure, the gods themselves intervened and sealed the entire continent to prevent the pnt from spreading any further.

  After the fall of the Elves, those who remained drifted apart and rebuilt. Founding a number of kingdoms including the kingdoms of Stormwind, and Bluewood. Kingdoms who today have decent retions but differing values. Along with a few fundamental differences in beliefs. Ancient differences that date back to the Schism, a period that was hard for the elves, a period where many groups had to make difficult deals just to get by.

  Now the real question is, what kind of pnt could cause such a schism, what kind of pnt could draw the attention of the gods? That pnt is known as Bloodleaf, an ancient parasitic pnt that prefers to grow in people rather than soil. It roots itself under the skin, and concentrates near the major veins and arteries seeking nutrients from the host’s blood. The pnt is also known to mess with body chemistry, boosting sex drive, causing mood swings, and personality shifts. In ter stages the pnt infiltrates the nervous system, and major organs. Eventually the pnt takes control of the host, and in the process gains all of the host’s memories. Interestingly enough the pnt requires certain hormones only produced in a sexually mature host to grow, which makes it unable to grow in children. Also of note is that the pnt requires a female host to enter its final growth stage, often referred to as the queen stage.
