Blood Elves

Also called the Ruby Elves, or Agar'Tel'Quessir, Blood Elves are also called the betrayers by all the other elven subraces, even the drow. They are no longer welcomed within a 100 miles of any Elven settlement. These elves are descendents of those who fell from favor from the all the Elven Gods and Godesses due to their choice during the Age of Orrinhtach.

The Blood Line

During the Age of Orrinhatch, Gwenro Ria'donas the prince of the city of Arrnthraen was sent on exile as his father wishing to hand over the throne to their daughter Esdathea chose to remove the hinderance that would come in the way. Alone in the wild while his step-sister enjoyed the luxuries of the palace caused him to grow hateful of his elven family. His days in the wild were tortoreous as he was mauled by animals and looted by bandits. He began to give up on his life when his pathetic form was stumbled upon by the army of Orrinhatch Hellbreaker. Well known for his generosity during his early years there is no doubt that the Orc War-Lord extended his hand to aid the fallen Elf Prince. This was the spark that eventually lead to the 'betrayal', as the elves call it.

Gwenro received more support from the mortal enemy of elves than his own family which lead him to believe that every thing he had learnt about orcs was wrong. The Orc followers of Orrinhatch initially willing to tear the elf into pieces slowly grew to accept him out of fear of their leader as well as the fact that the Elven prince had proven himself usefull as well as worthy to be part of what would eventually become the Bahamar Kingdom. As the days past and the war between the Bahamar Kingdom and that of the avatar of Asmodeus was in full swing more Elves joined the cause understanding that if the Bahamarians fell the world would be subjected to the tyranny of the Archdevil's Avatar. These elves would eventually fall from the grace of the Elven dieties for allying with the Orcs during this age, an alliance for which their following generations would have to suffer too. Thus the Blood Elves were born.

Savage Lifestyle

The Blood Elves made their place in the continent of Grimmig among the Orcs and those the rest of the world considered savage. Blood elves have learned to accept the world as it truly is and shun the isolated ways of their various brethren. The blood Elves can be found hunting within the thick decideous forests, pirating on the savage oceans or building in the confines of an explosive laboratory. While majority of the Blood Elf communities can only be found in Grimmig, some Blood elves spend their lives searching for a purpose and exploring the world and the various planes. The Blood Elves consider the Orcs who follow Orrinhatch and his ways as brethren as they had once saved the world of a terrible calamity and extended their arms towards them. The Orcs in return have forgone naming themselves as Elfsplitters and any other similar names taking on instead the name Gwenro'smight, Bloodbonded, Agarprotectors in rememberance of the alliance between the Blood Elves and the Orcs of Orrin.
