>At the beginning, elves paid little to no attention to the short-lived races due to their ongoing problems with the dwarves. After a while, they noticed humans and other humanoids building their own small civilizations, though none were as grand as elven ones. As a gesture of goodwill and possible cultural exchange, the elves sent a delegation along with many gifts. The elves believed everything would turn out fine, until the group of humans they approached suddenly became wild and deranged, forcing the elves to flee.>At first, they considered genociding the short-lived races, since they reproduce far more quickly than elves. However, a more scientifically inclined elf suggested they instead study why the attack had occurred in the first place. While not as intelligent as elves, the short-lived races did possess the ability to think and reason.>After a couple of decades of research, experiments, and wars, the elves discovered that they emit a pheromone that triggers extreme base instincts in short-lived races, causing arousal and a berserker-like rage. Luckily, after several generations of contaminating the water supply with concentrated elf pheromones, they were able to grant the short-lived races greater resistance to it, thus lessening its effects.
