The Qabalrin were destroyed even before the Giant's war with the dragons . The Qabalrin were elves who all resided in a mountain city that was destroyed by a giant dragonshard that fell from the sky more than forty millenia ago. The resulting impact created the Ring of Storms . The elven city existed over a thousand miles south-east of what is modern-day Stormreach . Long after the Qabalrin were obliterated, their magic was discovered by the Umbragen , who live under the Ring of Storms .
