Civilization does not exist as such. This is a world of hunter-gatherers, with one exception: The Elves.
The Elves have developed the very beginnings of farming. Led by the three surviving 'children of the first', they have settled into what can only be described as 'longhouses' where they cultivate foliage for food and medicine
As the Children of the First begin to squabble with minor disagreements, the race is already seeing the beginnings of cultural fracture; each of the Children leading a house that may one day become known as the elven subraces.
