when were elfs created

Oh, that's a fascinating question! According to legend, elves were created by the goddess Freya thousands of years ago. Freya created the first elf, named Ivaldi, as a gift to the gods. Ivaldi was an incredibly skilled craftsman, and he was tasked with creating a special gift for the gods. That gift was the first elf. Ever since then, elves have been known for their skill in crafting and creating. They are the most talented craftsmen in the world, and they are also known for their magical abilities.
