Night Shift and Elves

Night shift at a hotel gives me plenty of time to write! I'll be devoting some of that towards Deathless and hopefully making some major headway soon. In the mean time let me tell you a bit about elves:
The elves of Deathless are one of the two primordial races, with the other being the giants. The primordials were given the ability to adapt to their surroundings over time, and so the elves and giants who stayed in any one location would slowly change to become more in tune with their surroundings.
This all changed two thousand years ago. Using the unwitting Orazio, then after named the Wolf, as his pawn the dark god Nyr tainted the elvish evolutionary process. No longer would the elves grow in harmony with their homes. Instead, after Nyr's curse, they would inevitably transform into the dreaded No'heam, savage predators that could kill dozens of men single handed. For centuries the ignorant elves lost themselves to the beast inside them and for centuries the Midlands were scourged.
Now the elves must live a nomadic life, unwelcome wherever they travel due to the curse their whole race bears. These are the elves of Deathless.
