=== Gelmorra ===
Though this conflict raged for decades, overtures towards peace had begun by around the year 740. Realising they had a common goal in avoiding the [[elementals]]' hostile gaze, the [[Hyur]] and [[Elezen]] put aside their differences. The two war-weary races sealed a pact, that both might prosper beneath the Twelveswood. The fruit of their alliance was [[Gelmorra]], a great subterranean city. For three centuries, the [[Elezen]] and Hyuran laboured to expand their home, burrowing between natural caves and shoring up the passages with walls of stone. In time, Gelmorra's intricate network of tunnels would come to put any antlings' nest to shame.
Around 1020, however, a great change came over the Twelveswood. Since times of eld, the elementals had allowed the Ixal to live within their forest. Yet suddenly, they cast the beastmen from the Shroud. What caused such a radical change in the elementals? The commonly accepted reason is that the Ixal population had grown too great for their area of the forest to support. For this defiance, exile was their reward. When the Gelmorrans learned of this, they realized that a chance was upon them to negotiate for land above ground. Those verse in the magic gathered, seeking a way to commune with the elementals through their art.
