	The new Deepish governor, Sidastrial Frostfall, opposed the re-annexation of the Great Woods, however.

Outer provinces were stripped of towns and manors, and wild Sorani elves are given the territory as their own.

	Despite Governor Mistwood being assassinated over his liberal policies, enough High Elves still wanted progressive change. Topaz Silverbow, a former denizen of Drache and officer of its guard, became governor based on a more radically liberal platform. His first policy was to settle reformed dark elf refugees in Elvendeep, which caused backlash and controversy.

	In the early 700s BT, a large number of refugees flee from west as rint-riding nomads conquer Mingit and Igmerind civilizations. The Igerminds were traditional allies of Elvendeep and were welcomed for a time before they moved on to establish the Kingdom of Beren to the north. The remnant of this event, and of the later acceptance of Berenite refugees, puts an element of human blood in the Deepish Common Elves and continues a long tradition of tolerance.

	Elvendeep’s custom is to banish criminals, and a great number of malcontents were sent to the northern side of the Skull Teeth Mountains. A small handful survive the crossing of the treacherous desert and the mountain passes and settle into the Nymrya Vale, founding the tiny and little known elven principality of Nymrya (652 BT). After a fierce war with their exilers, the principality dissipates around 400BT, with some elves moving south to become bandits known as the Nimm in the Caern plains--which will eventually become [[Outer Arangoth]].

	Orcs to the north align with the last living Ancient Dragon named Arpharizaud. What became known as the Firestorm clan were taught dark magic by the dragon, and they terrorized populations within Beren, Elvendeep, and the Keulenestra Forest.

	The elves that do conglomerate within the vast Soranion created the confederacy of Elvendeep. Most of the elves involved were the Yilcari, the Rainbow Elves, and the Symari. Elfspire was built over the ruins of the First City. The new nation is a monarchy, with the King or Queen elected by the nobility from each group of elves--now called the High Elves--that formed the confederacy. The Elite Guard was originally created to protect the monarch but later became Elvendeep’s policing force. Wild Elves remained outside of civilization, but the Order Emissariat was formed as an attempt to bridge relationships between them and the Common and High Elves.

	The oldest preserved texts account histories dating back to 200,000BT (Before Tagrana). They mention the Soranion Forest as the cradle of elvish civilization. The first elvish kingdom’s name is lost, but its center is called the First City--the ruins of which can still be found in Elvendeep. Early cultural developments in music, bronzework, and architecture led to a flourishing elven society. Contemporary Deepish elves posthumously call the people who inhabited the First City the Malchuri, after the river along which the ancient kingdom existed. Elves that lived outside the first kingdom retained tribal lifestyles.		The oldest preserved texts account histories dating back to 200,000BT (Before Tagrana).

	By around 100,000 BT, groups of elves ~~begin~~ spreading across Siveth. They settled in forested areas such as in the Great Woods, Keulenestra, the Symaru in what is now [[Lonrath]], the [[Elgar Forest]], [[Song Deep]], the Rainbow Elves in what is now [[Elluria]], and the Red Forest on the [[Isles of Myst]]. One group of elves created a subterranean civilization within the [[Korthos Mountains]], in what is now [[Zul Kiras]], and are the ancestors of the [[Vuulari]], [[Bahr]], and [[Gulanadur]] dark elves.
