Greetings
The starting area could be some kind of school where your masters explain the origins of the High Elves.
You are then called to a hunting camp where you are learning the rudiments of your chosen class and finally take part in a hunt through the woods.
In this hunt, your group encounters a war party of Minotaurs (or Boargen) against those they fight, thus entrenching the differences between Holy Order and Domination.
See you.
