Arenthal is a male elf born in 3rd era 256 who is now in charge of the elves of Highville after both of his parents died - his mother in childbirth and his father assassinated by a Firemarsh assassin. The elves have hidden away for so long that they have forgotten how to fight, as the army was dissolved by Arenthal's father, but Arenthal knows he must rebuild the army and teach the elves to fight again if they have any hope of defeating the invading empire of Firemarsh.
