This is only a summunairy of important events, for the complete Histories, see their Timeline.
From the official website elfquest.com!
"Elfquest is a sprawling web of myths and legends told on one level by the elves themselves, and on another by Wendy and Richard Pini, human storytellers, with help over the years from other writers and artists. Elfquest springs from the heart first, rather than the head. It’s meant to stimulate imagination and feelings, where the effect can be more profound and life-changing than that from a list of dry facts. As Elfquest begins its newest episode, “Final Quest,” the “facts” of this timeline may not mesh smoothly with the story as it evolves. Let the tale spin as it will. Each reader will – and should – take her or his own truth from it in the Now as it happens. The past is a dreamberry memory, and legends grow along with their storytellers."

"Elfquest is a sprawling web of myths and legends told on one level by the elves themselves, and on another by Wendy and Richard Pini, human storytellers, with help over the years from other writers and artists. Elfquest springs from the heart first, rather than the head.

As Elfquest begins its newest episode, “Final Quest,” the “facts” of this timeline may not mesh smoothly with the story as it evolves. Let the tale spin as it will.
