World where elf civs were all killed off by megabeast/titan

Exactly what it says on title. Generated a world, had the history run for 100 years or so, found out that the elves at some point went completely extinct via a combo of going to play adventure mode and finding them absent and then proceeding to check legends viewer (I initially assumed that the humans and goblins simply got to em because humans in this world actually are the primary aggressors in war for... some reason...  ??? ) and finding out, well :

Decided to actually look more in depth, checked every single elf historical figure in legends viewer I could find (which turned out to be not that many, about 37). Almost all of them were killed by the one titan mentioned, Aste, in two key rampages that basically destroyed the elves before they could even spread out even slightly.

By year 20, every single elf had been killed by the three shown (with one exception, an elf died to an ettin named  'Vafe Sisteroracle' in 15 over an ash crown or something.) with the last elf dying to Aste.

On one hand, it's kinda sad to not have elves around by virtue of em making fort mode more interesting by virtue of being the tree-loving bloodthirsty little jerks they are.

On the bright side, this taught me an important lesson... and that lesson is to maybe turn up the civilization amount in advanced worldgen if i'm going to have this many megabeasts and such stomping around.  :-\

/edit I mean, I guess this gives me some motivation to check out the surrounding area in adventure mode, I suppose.

Decided to look up Aste in legends mode and it turns out the killer of elfkind looks like... Uh, best I could figure out, this:

Sometime you win, sometimes you get killed by a giant pink moth with an alf trunk, I guess.  ::)

/EDIT and here's Aste's description in legends mode, in case the drawing didn't convey what I was trying to show:

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

A look of unbelievable peace. Associated with nature, happiness, etc. As it TOTALLY RAMPAGES AND DESTROYS the totally hippy, nature-loving elf civilization.

Don't trust this toaster that much, it could be a villain in disguise.
