Ancient Changeling
History
The Ancient Changelings have been there from the start of time or so people think, no one really knows where they came from or how they got there it seems they have been there the whole time. Very few people actually know about the Ancients as they have rarely been seen in history. Some stories and Fairy tales tell about the true forms in ways of mythical beings saving them from the cold, showing them their doom in fire, healing incurable diseases or godly levels of destructive powers. The Frost and Magma varients are by large the more common ones to be sighted as they have help civilizasons to their golden age and their doom. The Nature varients are in some Elven religons looked upon as gods or deitys the few times they have aperad. The times the Thunder variant has apperd destuction and chaos has followed soon after even conteries away people have heard the thunder before the destruction and down fall of others.
The history of the Ancient Changeling civiliztions is long since lost, there was a time they lived together but some thrived in different life styles and others wanted chaos. All that is known is that The Frost began hiding diseapering after time, The Magma began looking for chaos and war, The Nature ran to the safety of the forests and lush hills, The Thunder wanted power and began figthing internarnally only having the strongest survive.
