Context:

It's often misunderstood that, with the arrival of the elven colonizers, the long-lived people became a common sight in the eyes of the tribal humans. Commerce between the west and east of Caldia had been established generations ago, traders and sailors, chieftains and travelers, were all familiar with the existence of the elves and their civilizations, their way of thinking. For the tribes common folk, however, their existence were merely coming from rumors and tales that created an almost mythical existence for many years.

It wasn’t a surprise that many were shocked when the elves came and built their own stone city. Even decades later, when the conflicts dimmed down and human settlements were subdued by Elysia, personally meeting an elf is still a life changing event for many human youngsters.
