Elven Civil War

Shortly before the civil war, The northern Elves, known as the "Moon Elves", developed a way of reproducing using the natural magic of the forest, but using this power caused them to become infertile themselves. The southern Elves, "Sun Elves", saw this as an abomination, an abuse of the natural magic with which they are gifted as a race and so the war began. The Moon Elves came out as victors, but both sides to heavy casualties and now coexist in a nervous truce, keeping themselves to their own lands.
