*Just had another thought*<br/><br/>How dark do we want the setting, if we set it towards the start of the orc invasion then we have the hope the elves might be able to be rescued one day. On the other hand it could be set right near the end, where only a few bastions of elven kind remain, and it's generally considered that all hope is lost for their race. That could definitely shift the tone. Particularly if the elves try to escape, what would they be escaping to? and what would they hope to accomplish if they did... So what sort of tone do we want before we decide on that.
