Xicrenvael was a harsh-branch elf scholar writing in the Lost Ages, one of the few elven scholars willing to treat the Reign of Dragons as a political and military history rather than a mythological backdrop. His work reconstructs the territorial conflicts between dragon domains and early elf settlements during the Gaeaic Eon, arguing that the modern distribution of harsh-branch elf enclaves is a direct consequence of dragon-pressure displacement rather than cultural choice.
