'''Agelong''', observed on the [[summer solstice]] ([[Richfest]] 4),{{csb|PHBR8|53}} is the celebration of the mythical creation of the [[Elf|elves]]. According to myth, after [[Corellon Larethian]] spilled his blood during the battle with [[Gruumsh]], the rest of the [[Seldarine]] gathered this sacred blood and mingled it with the tears shed during the same battle by [[Sehanine Moonbow]]. The Seldarine then infused these divine fluids into vessels they had created to be the bodies of the elven race.{{csb|PHBR8|53}}

This day is, among the elves, mostly an excuse to go [[orc]]-hunting. Elven warriors cut themselves with daggers carved from volcanic glass to remind themselves of Corellon's own wound from Gruumsh's spear, then strive to slaughter as many orcs as possible during the night.{{csb|PHBR8|53}}
