It was a few years after the sighting of the meteor. It was indeed a phenomenon that was unlikely to occur again. Within the elven Jun-ko tribe, there were many speculations. Where had the meteor come from? They hypothesised that it had come from territory far beyond Joorgohim, but none knew where.
The Jun-ko tribe remained within the walls of their tribe. The walls were erected to protect them from other more aggressive creatures prowling the forest. They preferred to be safe and to idly spend their time doing whatever they wanted.
Elves need not necessarily eat much as they feed off of sunlight, thus the reason for their slightly green skin.
