Chosen Eight (original) (raw)
The Chosen Eight are members of a fictional tribe of elves on the World of Two Moons in the comic book Elfquest, created by Wendy and Richard Pini. The Chosen Eight, as their name implies, are the hunters specially selected to provide sustenance for the rest of their tribe, the Gliders. The Gliders are taller than most of the other tribes of elves on the World of Two Moons. They are magic users who choose to reside within Blue Mountain, a refuge they shaped to mimic the Palace of the High Ones. The High Ones were the first elves (actually a race of aliens) to arrive on the World of Two Moons during what's assumed to be this world's prehistoric period. (Elfquest, Fire and Flight, volume one)

(Elfquest, Fire and Flight, volume one) Thousands of years before the time of the Elfquest story, In order to avoid murder by the native humans, who were threatened by these strange beings, some of the High Ones escaped into the hills and took up residence within Blue Mountain. These elves became the Gliders, and they developed and maintained the use of their magical powers within the mountain's confines under the rigid control of Winnowill, their manipulative leader.
