Vaelthar: The purpose of the Elf Academy was never war.
Their only goal was to revive the weakening essence of the World Tree, Yggalor.
For the past 50 years, the roots of the World Tree had been drying, the surrounding elven forests were fading, and spiritual creatures had been losing power.
That's why the Academy's brightest mages launched a project they named Solar Vitae...
Vaelthar: Their goal in creating the spell was to purify the Sun Mana and channel it into the veins of the World Tree.
That way, the tree would regain its former magnificence.
To the outside world, the spell seemed harmless.
In fact, the elves believed this spell would usher in a new era.
Vaelthar: The research took six months, and in the end, the Solar Vitae project was complete.
In the darkest hour of the night, the elves activated Solar Vitae.
The spell worked exceptionally well.
Even for one night, the leaves of the World Tree turned green again.At this rate, the tree would become even stronger than before within a few weeks...
That's what the elves believed.
Vaelthar: But what the elves didn't know was that the magic they used had killed hundreds of vampires who had gone out at night.
For the first time in history, the vampire clans gathered together and, 24 hours later, launched a war against the elves responsible.
And within two hours, they wiped the academy from existence.
Answers:
Answer 1:The magic being researched was a spell that allowed Sun Energy to be used at night Solar Vitae.
The reason it was being researched was because the elves wanted to feed the World Tree energy even during nighttime.
Answer 2:Once the prototype was ready, the elves activated the spell in the darkest hour of night.As a result, hundreds of unsuspecting vampires were burned to death.
Answer 3:In response, the vampires gathered all their strength within 24 hours and attacked the elven academy, destroying it within two hours.They erased even the smallest trace of the project.

114 Negative...
Vaelthar: What is this? I only explained what happened, and yet I can already feel you getting stronger...
Kaelion: Well, that happens to be one of my secrets...
Vaelthar: And what is that in your hand?
The moment you grew stronger, that thing manifested out of nothing...
Kaelion: Looks like one of the main materials the elves used to create Solar Vitae.
An artifact a weaker version of the Solar Vitae spell.
Vaelthar: What? How? My kin destroyed everything!
I'm certain of it...They destroy anything that could harm them... I swear it.
Kaelion: I got it as a quest reward, meaning the system created it for me, it probably manifested from nothing.
Vaelthar: I don't fully understand what you mean...
But I suppose this is one of your secrets…
Had we not formed a pact, I would've definitely killed you...
Kaelion: Don't worry. I'll never use this power against you.Also (points at his heart)
I'm cursed too, so this item hurts me as well.
Vaelthar: For now, keep it hidden...
Kaelion: Yes, yes…
(puts it in inventory)
Vaelthar: You have interesting spells...
Kaelion: It must be dark outside now…
A perfect time for us to head out.
Vaelthar: I've been trapped in this darkness for 200 years...I haven't drunk blood in 200 years, and the first blood I tasted was the cursed blood in your heart...
I'm starving, and because of that, I can't use most of my power...
Kaelion: Just how weakened are you?
Vaelthar: Weakened enough that I can't take my revenge...
(They leave the ruins.)
Kaelion: Come with me. I have a safe place.
Vaelthar: A safe place? Interesting...
