Long Ago, When the Elder Folk Ruled the World...

In the Elder Days, the sun shone upon the mighty empires of the Dwarves and of the Elves. You yourself have seen the ruins of their glory. Their great halls which now lay in eternal darkness, haunted by greenskin and dwellers of the under-earth were once lit by roaring flames and rang with the merriment of mighty and accomplished warlord-smiths. The intricate and ethereal dwellings of the Fair Folk which are now overgrown with ivy and hidden from the eyes of our kind were once host to maneuvering nobles of impossible beauty and boundless charm.

Ah, but I see the look of wonder in your eye - you wish to know what it would have been like to live in those halcyon days when our wise Elders ruled the world, imagining it to be a golden age unlike this present era of strife and uncertainty. But you know only the present goodwill of the diminished Elder Races toward Humanity. In their summer, the Dwarves and the Elves ruled this world with a ruthless and indomitable will. They had yet to learn humility, and knew no reason for restraint.

It was only by Providence or wild fortune that our forefathers ever came to know freedom, for before we were kings building our nations, to be Human was to be a slave.
