Hi'Rez

The Lunar Empire of Hi'Rez
Long, long ago, the elves were not so split as they are today, they were one big all-powerful empire. But they were tired of continually contending with other races, so they hatched a frankly insane and silly plan. They would move their empire to the moon! Needless to say, the empire was a bit split on this issue. A couple factions stayed behind as the elves built their magic skyships and departed to the stars.

A lot of people were surprised when it actually worked. So today, the empire of Hi'Rez exists in a literal bubble away from the rest of the world, xenophobic and honestly a little dickish. High elves that exist on Nestoria are exiles. The wood elves and drow are the elves that stayed behind, feeling a bit silly and dejected. The wood elves hid themselves in the woods, and drows delved into the earth.
