The Gliders
The Gliders were a small cartel of High-Ones' Firstborn, who locked
themselves away in the subterranean caverns of Blue Mountain in an
attempt to protect themselves from the vicious world outside. They
recreated in exquisite detail their ancestral home, the Palace of
the High Ones, but with their seclusion came stagnation.
Their ruler, Lord Voll, was lost in a shroud of melancholic and
intangible memories, his once-lovemate, the cruel and sinister
Winnowill all but ruling in his stead. The re-introduction of
the web-spinning preservers by the Wolfriders reignited Lord
Voll's dreams of returning to the Palace. Winnowill could not
prevent this, but after Voll's violent death at the hands of the
northern trolls, the Gliders abandoned the Wolfriders. Winnowill
assumed total control of her people, using their powers to
attempt to create a new palace, a great egg, from where the past
could be erased (especially the cross-breed Wolfriders), and
pure elves could return to the stars. Her twisted dreams ended
in the destruction of the six spheres of the egg, in which the
Gliders died - leaving only her, Tyldak, Egg and Door.
