Mandor This is what i have come up with for the relationship and history of the Torell people. It is rough mind you needing typo fixes and sentice revisions. Please tell me what you like and don't like particularly your input on the time frame which I feel you should have final say. Oh yeah i place the slave rebellion roughly 300 years ago. Their ancestral lineage originates with the peoples of Thalamon. They came to Torell with the dark elves during their great hundred year migration to Lanuin over a two thousand years ago. The small tribe of the then Thalamon people started out as laborers and servants helping the elves cross the wilds of Minartan but as generations of the human tribe came and went and through constant swindling by the dark elves they slowly became slaves to them. When they reached Lanuin the human tribe had grown in size but had lost all their freedom. Time passed on Lanuin and the dark elves aversion to human contact led them to become absent masters. The humans were given more quarter in their daily lives and allowed to worship their own gods slave master their own people everything so long as the dark elves did not have to look at them. It was at this time that the torellians began to master their sea manship skills being given the responsibility of sailing trade ships to the main land and the elven kingdoms to the south. Slowly discontent festered in the ranks of the humans and when the elves, whos' perception of time is slightly askew, finally began to tighten their grip it was to late. The humans rose up and a bloody slave rebellion soaked the soil of Lanuin red. The war lasted for ten years and casualties where high, nearly half of the elf and human populations being killed. A peace was found when the humans sacked the elves precious capital city. The humans were given the wild lands of Torell and three magical sea clocks that keep perfect time. Since that time no Tore'e has set foot on Lanuin and no elf Zrei'gu'aiuo or otherwise has been allowed upon Torell.
