Sylvan Uprising

It is generally accepted within academic communities that the surge of fae influence over Lueshlan occured when it did due to the humanoid rights violations they were committing with their booming trafficking industry. The fae have always had a strong pull over Leushlan land, but during this time, it surged.

Elves were suddenly succumbing to fae charms, and were entranced. They would change overnight, basking in the moonlight then wandering further north into the forests. Farmers, people of the cloth, high ranking officials, and even the Elodian king were affected with what was locally called "moonlust." Hundreds of of hundreds elves abandoned their livelihoods and their families to travel towards the thickest forest in the north towards Tserre.

There was a quick effort to combat this, and the Fae Gate was erected to minimize the influence over Leushlan. It worked quite well, and things returned to the way they once were. This didn't return the thousands of elves that had left, slicing down the population of the area.
