Introduction

Our Tale Begins. ..

With the forging of the Golden Discs of Wisdom by a long forgotten people. In these discs were tales of battles, adversity, prosperity, redemption and finally the fall of their civilization. They put all of their wisdom and truth into these discs so that future generations won't make the same mistake as they did. They then buried their discs of Wisdom, and they were long forgotten. In time a new chapter begins. As the forgotten ones' continent was settled, it was decided that magic would be the anchor of the Land. It began with the Forging of the Rings of Power. Four were given to the Elves. These rings had the power of the elements: Fire for the High Elves so lofty in their towers, Air for the Wood Elves; and their barbaric ways. Water for the elves of the sea and the rivers, and finally, Earth for the Dark Elves; those that live under the Earth. These Rings are named Narya (fire), Cemna (earth), Nenë (water), and Thúrë (wind). Five were made for the Dwarves of the Five Dwarf Thanes of Thunderhold. And Seven were made for the Kings, for in their hearts, they rule with fear. With these magical rings, the pillars of magic was established. But it was prophecied that the Golden Discs of Wisdom would be unearthed and translated by the Prophet of Wisdom. And when they do, war will come of the many kingdoms of the Land. The Way of the Dark Elves is the beginning in the series for the Golden Discs of Wisdom Campaign Setting. A Campaign World that includes seven human kingdoms (Colorado River, the Empires of Atlantium and Philomenia, the Grand Duchy of the Hio River, the Confederation of Souix, the Kingdom of Columbia, the Republic of California, and the land of Loch Salium) a dwarf kingdom (Thunderhold), three elvish kingdoms (Alfhiem, Greenwood, and Blacklight), and several non-human kingdoms scattered between them (the land of Durotar, the land of Raptorim, the kingdom of the Cervines, the land of the Garou, and the Lands of the Undead Scourge). The Way of the Dark Elves is about the Elven Kingdom of Blacklight, forced to see the light of day when their lands under the Earth had taken fire due to the incursion of fire. There are five dark elf subraces. And they have with them the Ring of Earth, which has not been worn by any king for decades. It had become a sacred artifact to the Dark Elves.
