When they arrived in the world, however or whenever that was, they required a home, thus trees were created inside of which they could live. When the trees would no longer grow, the Eil willed there to be rivers and lakes to feed them. Elves tend to live 300-350 years, though they rarely procreate. [[Aurum Vale]] is said to have been the first city of the Eil and to have been a living, breathing entity all its own. After abandoning their magical homeland, the Eil swore off their reclusive nature for the good of all races and subsequently played an integral part in constructing [[Eilanthar]] as a haven for all shapes and sizes of creatures to live in peace amongst one another.
