	In a relatively short time frame the physical appearances of elves can change drastically in response to their environments, often with visible differences within a matter of several generations. Though the [[deep elf\|deep elves]] are the most obvious example of this phenomenon, other elven peoples who have settled in other parts of the world show similar if less drastic changes.

	Though elves can be found across the world, there are certain regions where most have settled after their various exiles. The majority of elves live in Hinthial, having relocated there after abandoning the Cradle, with a sizable population nearby in [[Brightmarch]] as well. Farther afield, elves are the primary inhabitants of the far-northern region of [[Yurukan]], where many aeroliths eventually made landfall. Many also live amongst the [[Abanir\|clans and cities]] of the [[Aban Steppe]]. Elves also form the ruling classes, though not the majority population, in [[Talmithe]], where they settled after an [[Banishment\|earlier expulsion]] from the Cradle.

	Most elves consider the [[Cradle]] to be their homeland. The [[Eita\|Kingdom of Eita]], one of the world's first great civilizations, arose there in the early second millennium, an ambitious nation led by its scholar-nobility ~~to lofty heights~~. They created a near-paradise for themselves on the Cradle before setting their aims even higher, ~~eventually~~ culminating in the construction of the aeroliths. Eventually, however, the flying cities caused Eita's downfall. Their ruling class departed on the aeroliths for new, nomadic lives in the skies of the world, leaving those that remained without the arcane or technical knowledge to maintain the great constructs and other magical wonders they left behind. With the Cradle increasingly overrun by outlandish flora and [[Groundshaker\|fauna]] unintentionally brought to ~~the planet~~, after generations of attempting to maintain their homes the remaining inhabitants of the island left in exile. Most relocated north to [[Hinthial]], where the elves had long had some presence, while others left to find new communities elsewhere in the world.
