 As the elves expanded their reach they found many of the artifacts left behind by the [[lore:​Ancients]]. The most interesting were the [[lore:​Black Gates]] and the [[lore:​Bronze Door]]. The elves knew that the black gates were doorways to the [[lore:​Shadow Realms]] and the strongest source of magic in this world; however the bronze door was a mystery. Ever curious the elves managed to open the bronze door and into this world came a [[creatures:​demon#​Demon Lord]] who slew those by the door and used their spirits to feed his own infernal power. He opened the door further allowing a horde of [[creatures:​demon|demons]] into the world. As the elves expanded their reach they found many of the artifacts left behind by the [[lore:​Ancients]].

-Mardac and much of her court was in the fae lands hunting, so Ellowyn sent the rest of her court to lead the elves in battle. As the demons grew in strength the elves called upon all those living in the world to help. To further aid the battle Ellowyn called her strong warriors to the [[atlas:​Elder Tree]]. From that tree she drew forth the most powerful bow staves ever known and thus were born the [[lore:Maiden Archers]]. The maiden archers led the elven army in battle and drove the demons back to the Bronze Door. The destruction of the door cost the maidens dearly and the world a terrible price (see [[atlas:​Blasted Lands]], but closed the world from the demons.+Mardac and much of her court was in the fae lands hunting, so Ellowyn sent the rest of her court to lead the elves in battle. As the demons grew in strength the elves called upon all those living in the world to help. To further aid the battle Ellowyn called her strong warriors to the [[atlas:​Elder Tree]]. From that tree she drew forth the most powerful bow staves ever known and thus were born the [[orgs:Maiden Archers]]. The maiden archers led the elven army in battle and drove the demons back to the Bronze Door. The destruction of the door cost the maidens dearly and the world a terrible price (see [[atlas:​Blasted Lands]], but closed the world from the demons.
  
 With the Bronze Door destroyed, the elven army went to close each of the Shadow Gates so that the  [[lore:​Outer Realms]] could no longer influence the world. Their warriors gone, the remaining elves were left with little protection from the demons that still roamed the world. Mardac, who had returned from the hunt, convinced Ellowyn to once again reach into the Well of Life and create to a new people to protect her children - thus the [[creatures:​orc|orcs]] were given life. Unlike the elves, the orcs were not given fae spirits, but instead were given unseelie spirits. Mardac trained the orcs in the art of battle, passing on his skills and honor. The orcs not only hunted down the remaining demons, but took up arms to guard the elves wherever they roamed. With the Bronze Door destroyed, the elven army went to close each of the Shadow Gates so that the  [[lore:​Outer Realms]] could no longer influence the world.

-One of the few sanctuaries untouched by war was a contemplative community centered around the [[atlas:​Ellendar#​Great Tree|Great Tree]]. The only known still living tree that sprouted from a seed from the Elder Tree. While the tree was still alive, it had not bloomed since Ellowyn was struck down. All elves that had not forsaken their true spirits knew when their queen had rose from near-death. The Great Tree bloomed as she appeared in the [[atlas:​ellendar|Ellendar]] forest and spoke to her followers. Once again their queen walked the world to guide them in healing this land.+During the [[lore:Age of the Gods]] one of the few sanctuaries untouched by war was a contemplative community centered around the [[atlas:​Ellendar#​Great Tree|Great Tree]].
