The Council of Ancients

History
The Council of Ancients is one of oldest factions in the known world. Despite their age they have never really held much territory outside of their glades and forests, always favouring a more defensive approach. Because of this lack of expansionism they have been pressed onto the background and are nearly forgotten in the modern day. They only really communicate with their direct neighbours the dwarves with whom they trade raw metal which they in turn smith into magnificent artifacts of great durability and beauty. They have however grown quite weary of intruders over the years as more than once they only came to conquer and destroy the beauty of the glades. Now the wood elves do not let any non magical creatures over their borders.
