The Gliders perished, hunted down by the humans.
But some odd years later, it is discovered that there are a small few Holts remaining; a Holt of Wolf Riders, Go-Backs, and far, far into the desert, Sun Folk. But everything has changed; the round ears have begun to kill packs of wolves, many of them had been Wolf-Friends to the Wolf Riders. Many packs have already been wiped out, and in defense, many elves have died trying to save their kin. A new war blossoms between the elves and men, far worse than before. The humans have developed guns, which seem like monsters to the elves who'd never seen such things before. To the elves, these weapons are firesticks, and deadly. The wolf Riders watch as their beloved forest home get destroyed, and their people murdered. worse are the battles now; back in the times of old, their weapons had at least been equal. Now the round ears are ten times more dangerous than ever before.
The Wolf Riders have but three choices; fight, flee or die. They had been chased from their homes time after time; running is futile. What good would life be if it was spent on the run, and not on hunts?
Races(keep in mind that these elves are about 4'11 and under!)
Wolf Riders
Wolf Riders are a society of normally woodland loving elves that, like their title, ride wolves. Only their relationship with their wolf is incredibly strong. They have this bond that lasts as long as either one is alive. They have very, very good senses, like that of what their 'Wolf-Friends' have thanks to sharing wolf blood. They have characteristics that set them apart from the other tribes. They are nocturnal, like their wolf brothers. They have such a close bond with wolves that they can 'send' with them. They live by a code called 'The Way.' They value freedom and passion.

Sun Folk
These are desert dwelling people, and their skin is always tan to adjust to the hot blazing sun. They do not have wolf-friends, and they find sending to be vastly unnecessary. They work with copper, silver and minerals for a living, and they don't understand what Recognizing means unless it directly happens to them. They have strayed away from their wolf-blood. However, ever since Cutter and his Holt came across them long before the Great Battle, the Sun Folk have begun to adapt back to their Wolf Rider blood, and go by 'The Way'.

Go-Backs
A strong warrior kind of society, they do not ride wolves but stags/deer. However, they do not bond with their stags as strongly as a Wolf Rider, or a Glider with their bird. Also, they do not Recognize because they hold a different way of procreation; before a battle, they usually have a different way. Since both sexes go to war, this ensures that they will have spread their genetics farther if one parent should not return from battle. They normally lived in more hostile places such as high in the Blue Mountains with plenty of snow, so they are adapt to living in snow rather than the desert, and the simple lower woodland of the Wolf Riders. They have barbaric tendencies, and value their offspring. However they believe in a warrior's early death.

Magicks
All elves have magical powers. But there are some on this list I want you to PM me before giving to yourself, those will have a * on them. For those ones, message me a paragraph why you think your character needs that ability. (*) means that while everyone has the power of this, part of that needs to be brought by me first. ** means you really have to convince me.
Sending- EVERY elf has this ability, even the Go-Backs who do not value magic. Sending is talking through telepathy. Elves can send thoughts, images, and feelings to one another.
Black Sending- The Ability to cause physic pain. However this can be blocked by a healer. *
Power Sending- The ability control the mind, and stretch incredibly far ; Strongbow was one of the few that could control the mind. **
Send-Block- The ability to block sending*
Astral projection- The ability to go out of their body and communicate with other magical users in a physical plane
Mind Snare- For those who can use the astral plane, they know that there are some out there that can keep them from re-entering their bodies*
Fire Starting- Rare to Wolf Riders, the ability to start fire with magic. Misuse can cause dire consequences
Freezing Stare- The ability to put someone in a hypnosis by just staring at them*
Force Shield- The ability to create a magical force field, preventing physical or magic attacks*
Healing- This ability is seen as useless to Go-Backs, but to Wolf Riders and Sun Folk, it is essential. It's having the ability to heal others from injury or disease. Unscrupulous healers can invert the power by violently stimulating pain nerves to make the target experience agonizing pain.
Flesh Shaping- The ability to manipulate flesh to their desires. Which means that they can reshape anyone they like; this ability is strong for not just good but great healers. * (For the healers accepted with this ability, PM me about further abilities)
Shielding- The ability to shield someone else with their own healing powers.
Levitation- The ability to levitate something with telekinesis **
Tree Shaping- The ability to grow and shape plants.
About the elves (some taken fro Wiki, all credit due to them)
Soul Names- All Wolf Riders have soul names. They are not the name that others call them, but a hidden name only the person they recognize with knows. Very rare is the case someone else who isn't recognizing them discover it; it's very private. In some cases, like Skywise and Cutter, they knew their soul names by accident, but became brother in all but blood. If you want that with another character, swing the idea by me first.
Recognition- When two elves of opposite sex having exceptionally compatible qualities for reproduction meet they experience a sudden and immediate compulsion to mate. This leads to a child and often becoming life-mates. A Wolfrider who experiences Recognition involuntarily surrenders his or her soul name to the other recognized elf. This is described by the phrase, "soul meets soul when eyes meet eyes."
Recognition is a purely involuntary urge that has no regard for pre-existing relationships. This can cause considerable tension between one or both of those experiencing it and their established partners; while Recognition does not dictate the formation of a lasting relationship, it is very common. This is very likely due to the two elves involved knowing the other's soulname, removing all barriers to essentially knowing everything about the person. Generally, even if a longer relationship does not develop, a new-found level of respect is formed. Some elves have tried to resist Recognition, but this only causes them to experience increasing physical and mental distress. However, Richard Pini has stated that unconsummated Recognition is never fatal.
Emotional reactions to Recognition have varied widely with different characters. For instance, Leetah's parents were close for some time before they Recognized, and they immediately complied with the biological imperative without any argument. By contrast, Leetah attempted to resist her Recognition with Cutter, but the combination of Cutter's patience with her reticence, her growing appreciation for Wolfrider culture, and her elder's counsel on the matter convinced her to cooperate, until Recognition faded favor of a strong love. On the other hand, Dewshine and Tyldak of the Gliders were mutually resistant until they were convinced to fulfill the physical requirements before agreeing to go their separate ways. However, when Dewshine's lifemate, Scouter, recognized Tyleet, Dewshine was delighted at this development, and in turn they formed a triad.
The purpose of Recognition is to produce healthy offspring that have their beneficial inherited characteristics maximized. Whatever emotional upheavals it may cause, all elves agree that children conceived in Recognition have greater physical, mental and magical gifts than those who are not. For example, the children of the recognized lifemates, Cutter and Leetah, Suntop and Ember have considerable magical potential and physical hardiness respectively. However, gifted offspring resulting from non-Recognized parents do occur; One example is Kahvi and Rayek's magically endowed daughter Venka.
Recognition can have direct consequences for the affected adults. For instance, Dewshine and Tyldak's perception of each other is directly influenced by the effect; Dewshine sees Tyldak in his normal form before Winnowil altered his body into a bird-like structure while Tyldak sees her as a half-animal with fur and a vaguely lupine face. Another example is the Recognized union of Woodlock and Rainsong, notably prolific as far as elves go.
Lovemates- Elves that have either (or both) a physical and/or emotional relationship with another elf without recognizing. Sometimes it is just casual, but sometimes they really love one another. An elf that is in a relationship with a Lifemate can also have a Lovemate if the other approves of it. Lovemates can be any sex.
Rules
-Ask BEFORE recognizing another character
-Basic roleplay rules. You don't know these, learn them
-Please use proper grammar, descriptive paragraphs (no, 'He sits on the couch and eats the sandwich. And flips the TV one.'), and please do your best with spelling. I understand off days, but when it is constant I will message you about it
-Don't give short paragraphs back. One long good descriptive paragraph is fine, even two. Or three. But no on liners and short replies please.
-This is not a mature roleplay. Those who are caught treating it as so will be reported
If I haven't scared you away with my wall of explanations and you do want to join the roleplay, then here is the character sheet.
