Many years before current events. Literally centuries prior. A group of elves had come together in the spirit of strife, jealousy, anger, and mischief.
They had formed a group formerly known as the factions since they desired anonymity. There had been seven of these Elven factions who had a goal that went against the rules and ordination of the Elven royal family.
Rumors of the faction had been little during its early years, the only notable information being that very powerful individuals and important ones had been its starters. Those individuals themselves being unknown.
Soon, the rumors turned into true evidence, but the factions had individuals in high places, allowing their activities to go unnoticed. Thousands joined the cause of these seven powerful individuals and the seven factions were formed.
