I'll world build.
In my world, elves originally come from an island called Fhinnaire, but dwarf explorers dug a tunnel connecting the island to a nearby continent, many elves decided to colonize it. This lead to the main three races of elves on the new continent of Dromgea; the dark elves in the north, the high elves in the south, and the Moon Elves in their sanctuary valley. That sanctuary valley is the birthplace of their goddess, who's sat on a throne on the equator where she performs miracles powered by moonlight. Over the centuries the elves of Dromgea lost their antlers, the main difference between them and the elves of Fhinnaire.
To the south of Fhinnaire is the island of Alviae, invaded by humans seeking refuge from an immense volcano and setting up the kingdom of Pritany, a kingdom mostly composed of half-elves.
The dwarf tunnels connect a worldwide network of dwarven fortresses, so elves were able to travel the world before humanity's ascension. This spread Elvish craft, culture, and philosophy across the world. Before the age of humanity Elves were at their hegemonic height, but would fall to humanity as their long lives make them risk-adverse and their new homeland is hospitable enough to maintain their lifestyle. In the north a human empire called Veskala is expanding rapidly, at constant war with the dark elves.
