Quoted from Wiki
Most unusual of all are the semi-mythic Aethondruil, who appear late in the History, apparently refugees from a technologically superior world. While similar in general appearance to Elves, they are distinguished both by their great height (most are over nine feet tall) and by the coming of age ceremony in which their skulls are trephinated to reveal a portion of their brain beneath their crystaline helmets. This procedure apparently endowed them with great psychic powers.
I remember elves using crystal magic but this little piece of information seems abit out of place. But then again, the author of the wiki topic also says the elves destroyed Baalgor so....
All in all, its a pretty fair description of the setting, it just has a few glaring inaccuracies.

Yeah, and anyway, the word the mysterious author was looking for is trepanned. A trephine is "a surgical instrument for cutting out circular sections (as of bone or corneal tissue)."
I mean, if one can't even get one's basic terminology correct. . .

That's pretty much a bunch of crap made up by some person from their own game, and added to Wiki as if it had anything to do with canon. We should make an effort to have it removed, as it is not based in any way on reality.
Or, as MrNexx said...
Vandalism.

Way to go Nexx. Nice to have you watching the companies back, (and ours too!)

Thank Jester; I wouldn't have noticed if he hadn't said something; I don't check Wikipedia that often.
