"Elfquest is a sprawling web of myths and legends told on one level by the elves themselves, and on another by Wendy and Richard Pini, human storytellers, with help over the years from other writers and artists. Elfquest springs from the heart first, rather than the head. It’s meant to stimulate imagination and feelings, where the effect can be more profound and life-changing than that from a list of dry facts. As Elfquest begins its newest episode, “Final Quest,” the “facts” of this timeline may not mesh smoothly with the story as it evolves. Let the tale spin as it will. Each reader will – and should – take her or his own truth from it in the Now as it happens. The past is a dreamberry memory, and legends grow along with their storytellers."

Canon: Official ElfQuest history events
DJH: Events of Deep Jungle Holt.
Canon: The early High Ones became too many for their planet. Some found other worlds to dwell on. Descendants of those returned to the Homestar.
Eventually, these High Ones formed groups and went to seek out those on other worlds. They brought trolls and preservers along.
Year 20,000
Canon: Timmain’s group discovered the World of Two Moons. In art and literature, humans depicted immortal creatures, evidence of High Ones. As they landed, the Trolls revolted. The High Ones lost control and crashed 20,000 years in the past.
Year -1
DJH: The Palace crashes on a landbridge between two continents. To keep others away, the High Ones shaped mountains on the landbridge.
Although this young world drained their powers, they started planning to get away from this planet.
Year 0
DJH: Not all High Ones wanted to leave in the Palace, Egan, Sefro, Alti, Andorin, Ziandal, Baltorin and Findri had seen a future for themselves on this New World and they didn't believe the Palace could fly again.
They climbed the mountains and reached a world filled with tall grass and trees here and there. But it provided no cover, so they traveled further till they found a strange forest.
The weather was always warm even when it rained. So many different trees, plants, flowers and animals they had never seen.
Year 0
Canon: The Palace crashes again on the alien world of Two Moons.
This time Barbaric Humans greet them with anger and fear, with brutality and death.
In order to survive, Timmain took a wolf’s for and hunted for the others. In time, the High Ones made a life for themselves. Timmorn, first chief of the Wolfriders, is born to Timmain and a wolf. Here, the 10,000 years of the Ten Chiefs of the Wolfriders begins.
Year 4
DJH: Egan, Sefro, Alti, Andorin, Ziandal, Baltorin and Findri discover a change inside them. After eons and eons of infertility the High Ones had developed a different kind of connection between two people, they called it Bonding, an instant connection between two souls. It had replaced their desire to procreate.
But here the Bonding had changed, now when "soul met soul" a desire to share flesh grew inside them and none could resist.
First to Recognize are Findri and Ziandal.
To their surprise new life started to grow inside Findri after sharing flesh, something that had not happened anymore since they had been young.
They rejoiced, knowing a new generation would be born!
Year 6
DJH: The group High Ones settle in the jungle we will come to know as Forevergreen.
Year 6
DJH: Findri gives birth to Sting and Andorin to Leeper .
Year 7
DJH: A High One sees a large predator and tries to learn from it. To his/her surprise the predator accepts him/her and is allowed to follow her through the jungle. Egan feels magic flow through her and wonders if she could use it somehow.
The predator and elf look at each other and they both know a bond is formed between them.
Year 12
DJH: Sefro dies after falling out of a tree.
Year 26
DJH: Findri discovers that her jewelry helps her focus on her magic, she explores which ones she still possesses. Healing and Selfshaping was first very limited, but through practise she gained more power.

Year 4,000
DJH: After much debate and gatherings the Tribe splits up. One half decided to go deeper into the forest, live in the mangroves of the jungle and developed a new life both on land and in the water.
The other half started calling themselves Catriders, although not every elf would bond with a cat.
