Chapter 4: The Elven Forest

A thousand years ago, the capture of the Elven Queen had led to the elven race’s Darkening and also caused the burning down of the World Tree. It was said that the remnants of both were now in a hidden village deep within the Elven Forest.

The forest itself was in the very heart of Gio Nest, the most dangerous area in the vicinity of Garlaige, which itself was a city in the middle of nowhere on the border of the Kingdom of Emelia and the Istekario Empire. To this day, neither country knew the exact location of the village in question.

Expeditionary forces had been sent multiple times, but thanks to the Holy Church, the general attitude was that elves were a demihuman race and therefore one to be shunned. As such, it had been a long time since anyone was serious about finding them.

Before that attitude took hold, however, demand for them had been high, even after they had been branded enemies of humanity and the Elven Queen had been captured. That was because, despite the Darkening, their race was extremely beautiful. And because they had been weakened by being cut off from access to outer mana, humans were able to hunt them down to fulfill their vile, insatiable desires. Since they had lifespans far longer than those of humans, each and every victim was subjected to a sickening tragedy that lasted multiple human generations.

Ironically, by strictly condemning all demihumans—including elves—as unclean, the Holy Church had actually protected them in a way. At the very least, openly possessing demihuman slaves was now widely considered a severe moral evil.

Of course, whether the elves were targets to be enslaved or targets of discrimination was a distinction that only mattered to the perpetrators—namely, humans. The elves understood their current situation as a result of having lost the strength they’d possessed during Era Gran Magicka. As a race that lived so close to nature, they saw it as a matter of course. Natural law stated that the strong preyed on the weak.

But as a race that possessed both will and wisdom, even though they saw what was happening as natural, they still felt anger and resentment. At the same time, one of the deep-seated flaws of the human condition was that when desire was denied on a surface level, it would fester as even greater depravity in places unseen.

One certainty was that the elves had every intention of taking revenge against humans the moment they regained their strength. A thousand years ago, they had acted with the composure and arrogance befitting a superior race, but now they understood to their very bones what a huge mistake it had been. No human had the right to deny them their revenge or to condemn it as evil.

The elves’ anger and resentment only continued to build as the years went by, even when the targets of their rancor died as subsequent generations simply did the same things again and again. However, individuals aside, humanity as a race was not entirely stupid.
