I know there have been various guides to the quests and items related to the Elves in Runescape, so I have not attempted to replace them in any way as they are all fine examples of quality publication. Here is my coverage of the Elves within Runescape, feel free to read, compliment, complain about, pick holes in, point out errors or generally give additions to. THE ELVES OF RUNESCAPE The Elves in Runescape are an ancient race. They ruled the land long before mankind ever evolved from Karamja. The Elves walked the land at the same time as the Gods and were there during the great God battles. They disappeared into the far Western lands many centuries ago. The following is a documentation and guide to the Elves in Runescape as explored by Elf Ewin during his travels. ______________________ THE LANDS OF THE ELVES The current lands of the Elves (Also known as Tirannwn) are vast, the main route in is through the Elf gates located to the North West of Ardougne. They can also be reached through the underground pass quest or by teleportation. The forest of Isafdar fills most of the Elvish lands and is filled with traps and hidden paths. You need good agility and antipoisons. Never use the minimap to walk around or you will walk into the traps. The village of Lletya is situated to the South East of the forest, although it is hidden to those that have not completed Mournings end part 1. THE CITY OF PRIFDDINAS This great and ancient Elven city is located to the North of the forests. It is rumoured to be vast and beautiful with crystal spires reaching into the sky. Elves dont much like outsiders and so none-Elvish are not welcome. The gates and walls to the city were only recently built from crystal material, they used to look like this So the possibilty of access is likely with the release of Mourning's end part 3 or even by some other method as yet unknown. According to ancient records, Prifddinas is one of the oldest in Runescape and one of the only remaining cities to remain intact from the ancient God wars. ___________________________ THE RESIDENT ELVES OF TODAY Many Elves populate the lands, although it is possible to walk the entire length of Isafdar without meeting any.

Gathered together here by Elf Ewin & Hardyboy_20. Cadarn Lineage The Cadarn Family is one of the oldest Elf clan names. Able to trace its blood line back to one of the eight families brought here by Serin in the second age. It was the Cadarn's responsibility to protect the other seven clans from any hostility encountered while colonising this new world. Not much is known about the first generations of Elves to walk this land. The only remaining documentation is the ancestory records. Its not untill the third age that we find surviving transcripts and those are few and far between. In the third age there was constant battling between the different Gods and thier followers. The need for protection in these troubled times made the Cadarn Clan one of the most powerful in the Elven domain. After Centuries of fighting the war finally ended when the Gods realised that they would destroy the very thing they were fighting over. The Gods chose to agree on a pact of non-influence. With no great threat left the Cadarn clan found that their skills were of little use in Tirannwn. At the start of the fourth age the Cadarn family spearheaded an expansion into the lands east of Arador. The occupation lasted for several centuries, before its final collapse near the end of the fourth age. With the death of Baxtorian Cadarn and his sons not yet of age to rule, the Elven clan returned to Tirannwn leaderless. The Cadarn clan lost much standing within the Elven Council at this time. This led to cessation of all exploits within the Eastern lands and the eventual closure of all routes through Arandar. Baxtorian, the Elf King After defending his kingdom against the invading dark forces from the West, Baxtorian returned to find his wife Glarial had been captured by the enemy. This destroyed Baxtorian, after years of searching he became a recluse. In the secret home he made for Glarial under the waterfall, he never came out and it is told that only Glarial could enter. Glarial's Tomb Glarial, the only person who could also enter the waterfall. She was Queen when this land was inhabited by Elven kind. Kidnapped while Baxtorian was away, but they eventually recovered her body and brought her home to rest. The Sonnet of Baxtorian The love between Baxtorian and Glarial was said to have lasted over a century. They lived a peaceful life learning and teaching the law of nature. When Baxtorian's kingdom was invaded by the dark forces he left on a five year campaign. He returned to find his people slaughtered and his wife taken by the enemy. After years of searching for his love he finally gave up and returned to the home he made for Glarial under the Baxtorian waterfall. Once he entered he never returned. Only Glarial had the power to also enter the waterfall. Since Baxtorian entered no one but her can follow him in, its as if the powers of nature still work to protect him. The Power of Nature. Glarial and Baxtorian were masters of nature, Trees would grow, hills form and rivers flood on their command. Braxtorian in particular had perfected rune law. It was said he could use stones to control water, earth and air. This is the beginning of the current magic using runes.
