	==I. The Beginnings==		'''I. The Beginnings'''

	While many histories cite the powers our ancestors wielded before the rise of the World Dragon, it is unknown whether they used, or even knew of, elemental magic. It is more likely their powers focused in other directions, only periodically delving into bending the elements to their will.

	However, not all gave in. Many apprentices enjoyed the study of the elements, and had no desire to spend their lives praying to squabbling Gods. For a time they remained in the clans, shunned by their former masters but welcomed by the people who found their abilities to be useful -- when they worked. These Mages lived among their people for many months, until the Outcasting.		However, not all gave in.

	==II. The Outcasting ==		'''II. The Outcasting'''

	In a dream, all the shamans throughout the lands were brought before the Thirteen Immortals and given a message to take to their peoples. Those who had forsaken the path of the gods, the way of Holy magic, were cast out of the Clans. No man would feed them or clothe them, and no woman welcome them into her home.

	Mages whose goals were the same, or near enough to find common cause, began to band together in the hope that greater numbers would sway their fellows to follow them. This proved ineffect- ive, and after many weeks of long and bitter arguing, the Gathering ended. Each group went its separate way, to found a new Clan based on studying and understanding a specific aspect of the Elements. Stories tell, however, of a small group of Mages who remained behind to tend the grove of the Gathering and the stone which bears the mark of Firulf. No one knows if this is fact or fiction, but all believe that if such a group existed, its members would be blessed by Firulf and deeply knowledgeable in the ways of Elemental Magic.

	As the various clans spread out, they tried to remain in contact with those groups whose philosophy was comparable to theirs. Clans of Fire kept close ties in the hopes that knowledge would be passed along from one Clan to the other. However, as the distance and the time between them increased, these contacts slowly faded. Many Clans so completely lost touch with the others that they began to believe they were the only practitioners of Elemental Magic in the world.

	An uneasy peace was called, the Clans grudgingly agreeing to share the land and to send new apprentices to the right Clan. The peace lasted for many years, only occasionally broken by minor battles, which were quickly arbitrated by the other Clans. Things seemed to be going well, until the rise of the Blackfire Clan.

	==IV. The Blackfire Cabal==		'''IV. The Blackfire Cabal'''

	The Blackfire Clan (known to historians as the Blackfire Cabal) started out as a somewhat reclusive Clan dedicated to the study of Fire. The clan realized early on that different colors of fire had different properties. White fire, for instance, burned with the hottest flame. This Clan began searching to see what properties other colors of flame had.

	Knowing now that Mages from different sects _could_ cooperate, the Three set out to found an academy of magic that would teach all Elemental Mages, and teach them to work in harmony with one another.

	==V. The Rise of the Council==		'''V. The Rise of the Council'''

	Very little is known about the Council, save what has survived in myth and legend. And even those will vary depending on who tells them.		Very little is known about the Council, save what has survived in myth and legend. And even those will vary depending on who tells them.

	Very little is known about how the Citadel fell, although many stories agree it was voluntarily disbanded when confronted by a group known as "The True Path". What power this group held over Mages strong enough to defend the whole of Elanthia for centuries is left to the speculation of scholars, and the fantasies of children.

	==VI. Lost Years ==		'''VI. Lost Years'''

	After the fall of the Citadel, many centuries passed when Elemental mages returned to the people and avoided attention because the use of elemental magic was held in low esteem. They returned to the practice of taking apprentices and training them. This time it was more efficient because the Mages now knew more about their powers and could even give basic instruction in the element their apprentices had an affinity for before finding them a Master of that element.
