HISTORY: 
Elves are known as the fair folk and as such they are older than any other species on the Earth. If they aren't killed they are immortal, but they can be killed in traditional human ways. It is said that they came before the founding of the Earth over the misty mountains in the great void in search of a new home. Idris was just a child when she set foot on what would become the Roman Empire, though it was nothing but unspoiled land at the time. She has always been fascinated by humans and chose to live among them at certain periods of history. Her favorites were the Egyptians and the Native Americans, they held fast to the idea of respecting nature. In ancient times she like to hold the jobs of scribe or musician. She loved the early civilizations. There was something sweet about them.


Elves are matriarchal society, so they only have queens and princesses. But elves have no sense of gender roles, so the Queen and Idris fight right along side the men when the time comes, and elven children are trained and schooled the same regardless of gender. They don't have a word for marriage. Elves can take partners who may stay together for a lifetime, or just a season. Although Idris has never taken a partner. She has devoted her life to service of her queen and her people. Idris fought in the first World War, to which her mother and many of the other Elders of the ancient races disapproved. They feel that humans should be left to their own devices, but Idris has always had a soft spot for humans. Since the day she met her first one. And she fought again in the second World War, though many of her country men had given up on the human race, but Idris and her mother still held out hope. The coven have been arguing for centuries that its time to go back to their ancestral home, but the Queen still believes humans will turn from their ways and start respecting the Earth again. She has held many jobs during her few hundred years living among humans.  


Her most recent job was working as a lobbyist for the EPA. She had been working for 50 years trying to protect the environment and the wild places of the Earth, the last strong holds of her people. The Council of Elders is convening in a few months because of the deterioration of the great powers. The recession around the world has pushed civilization back into the dark ages and many of the Elders feel this is a ripe time to conquer the humans and restore the nature order of magical creatures. The Queen and Idris sit on the council of Elders and Idris is making her way back to the mountains for the meeting.
