Introduction to the Elves of Jorth

From the introduction:

Elves are an ascendant race in the World of Jorth. The oldest tales among the Elves recount the Faded Years, when their life spans were shortening, and they had lost their intimate touch with nature. In the past few thousand years, Elves are once again becoming nearly immortal (the oldest living Elf is nearly 1200 years old, and shows no signs of age or infirmity). There are two distinct groups of Elves living in the world, the Gray Elves and the Green Elves.
