During the age of Mota's slumber Thanos seized the opportunity to stage an attack on the order which Mota had done so well in maintaining. He created two new races. He created small cunning creatures with immensely powerful magic powers called elves, and giant brutes which soon came to be known as ogres. He held these two races under his control, and with the ogres staged attacks on the dwarves and humans, while saving his precious elves with their magical powers to deal with Mota's chosen ones, the druids. The elves wreaked havoc on the druid city, nearly destroying it, save for the foresight of the druid council to set up magic barriers which did not prevent the damage, but slowed down the magics at work long enough for the druids to conjure up counterspells and prepare to heal the injured people and structures. While all of this was happening, the ogres, too stupid to find and disarm the dwarves' traps which they hid in the dirt above their cities, fell, one by one. Fearing complete destruction of their own race, the ogres fled to a distant mountain range, where they made their home. Losing control of the ogres, Thanos weakened in power as order was restored. A small band of elves escaped his control and ran. These elves evolved into the elves we know today. The elves still in Thanos' control, he gave to the ogres as slaves. These elves, embittered and synical, held a grudge against every other race besides their own, and became dark and separated themselves from all other civilization. These were our elves' cousins, the drow elves.

Elves are an intelligent race. Their talent for magic has evolved from their frail stature and their need to protect themselves from the other races.
