He continued, seriously, "As for the fallen elves, I am not too clear on that matter, but I have heard that in Ancient Times, we were of the same race, only led astray and corrupted by the Evil God. Afterward, living underground in darkness over an extended period shaped their form to change, just as we have been altered over the millennia by the magic power of the Sunwell."
The Countess nodded and said, "These rumors are not wrong, but they're not entirely true either. The so-called fallen elves, in reality, are not so much the result of the Evil God's temptations as they are the fault of our ancestors. You should know that in Ancient Times, we shared an ancestor with the Trolls; a time when the Trolls and the Aqir Tribe vied for dominance and the Trolls ultimately ruled the world. Part of our Dark Troll lineage lived near the Eternal Well and over a lengthy period, under the guidance of the Moon God, we began to move toward civilization."
