Good Evening TERA Fans! Tonight, we'll explore the history of the arrogant High Elves! Though this is another fairly short description, it's packed with some really good lore and information.

Today's article was originally translated by Meiellink into Japanese, then by Locien from Japanese to English and edited by me! Enjoy!

The History of the High Elves
A thousand years ago the Elves had built up a peaceful and prosperous civilization, until they found themselves losing the flower of life that their culture revolved around. The aggression of other races and the war of the gods lead to the demise of their beloved artifact.

This forced them to watch the slow collapse of the civilization they had cultivated for so many years. The elves who sacrificed all of their existing values and traditions in order to gain superior power during this time became the High Elves.

Currently, the High Elves have abandoned their ancestors and the gods that led to their previous civilization's end. They now only trust in their own physiques and mentality.

By exceeding their limits a new destiny unfolded and at its peak the High Elves constructed their huge capital of Aluremancia. There, they started the Magic Institution Core and are now known renowned for their superior magical ability and advanced culture.
