| - When Seren brought the majority of the elves to Gielinor through the World Gate, the majority of Cywir clan elves refused to come with her, and remained on Tarddiad alongside some other elves who were unwilling or unable to leave. Unfortunately, these elves fell prey to a terrible affliction called the Sickness, caused by their deep love for and dependence upon Seren following her extension of elven lifespans. Falling prey to a strong craving for crystal, they started singing Tarddian crystals onto their bodies, which provided a temporary relief from the Sickness followed by an even stronger craving for more Tarddian crystals, the Cywir elves on Tarddiad largely forgot themselves eventually became crystal shapeshifters. A small minority of Cywir elves, however, did arrive on Gielinor with Seren through the World Gate, and were trapped on Gielinor following the loss of access to it. They were initially unaware of the Sickness that plagued their Tarddiad brethren, but eventually discovered it. These elves discovered that crystal shards, obtainable in Tirannwn after the shattering of Seren, could fend off the sickness and allow the elves to travel long distances far away from Isafdar without feeling its ill effects. Unfortunately a group of travelling Cywir elves were kidnapped, tortured, and experimented upon by Gregorovic, then a human madman afflicted with a physical illness and near to death, who sought a means of escaping death through discovery of the secret to the elves' long lifespans, all but one of whom were murdered by him. Led by Helwyr, Lord of Clan Cywir on Gielinor, the Cywir elves sought revenge against Gregorovic for his crimes against their brethren, and resolved to hunt him down and punish him for his actions. With the discovery of The Heart of Gielinor, a powerful source of anima, as well as the reestablishment of travel to Tarddiad through the World Gate, the Cywir elves sought to claim The Heart for the elves in Seren's name, and harness its power to rescue their brethren on Tarddiad. However, The Heart was discovered by representatives of Zaros, Zamorak, and Sliske as well, all of whom sought to claim it and harness its power for their own respective leaders, whom the Cywir elves would have to battle in order to obtain control over it. Gregorovic, now an undead puppet of Sliske, had become the leader of the Sliskean faction, further driving the Cywir elves' will to fight. Helwyr became the leader of the Serenist faction of The Heart, where he fights the other factions to this day.
