Does it count as history if the history itself is the basis for a whole other set of books?
How about the history of the history?
I wrote a novel a few years ago. My first. I let a bunch of people read it. They thought it was great. Then I wrote another one. They thought that was great too. Than I wrote another one. They didn't think it was great. They wondered why all my stories had the same characters with the same problems who were the same race... I got a little bit annoyed. My characters where different and the fact that they were the same race was coincidence. I set out to prove it. I took my first novel and I changed the entire magical, political, and racial aspect of it. Problem being, the history didn't change. So now I have this small problem with fairies existing in a world I've officially banned them from.
So if a copy a lot of gobbelty-history from my thread on land-law, does anyone want to help me with it?

(Yes, all three novels were more or less variants on a fairy man who fell in love with a mortal girl and the codes of their world forbid them being together... except the third one was really different from the other two, and the first one was a lot more involved and... yeah. Whatever.)

Alright. What do you really need help with?

In an attempt to do away with much of the magic I had originally written into my first novel, (The Prince of Yen,) I turned to the concept of land-law. The name of the land is Elleys. Originally the original inhabitants were fairies. Now they're just... I don't know. Special people. From the other side of an impassable mountain range came simple mortals who were escaping enemies, (who never caught up with them, the enemies are just a convenience to get them out of their own land) and settled in Elleys, mingling with the... whatever, and diluting their powers.

Magic and mortal blood don't mix well, and many years later evil had corrupted the power of the Elloi into a race of wizards. Each wizard wanted to rule the others and they massed huge armies of the innocent (relatively powerless) inhabitants and fought each other. Finally one day, a leader for the downtrodden arises and Tell leads the armies of the wizards to unite against their masters and destroy them. Many of them surrender. Tell accepts their offer of advice and friendship and help (many of whom say was a mistake but whatever) to protect the land forever from war and invaders and whatever. They write the land-law. They write some ambiguous moral code that's bound into the earth itself, and into the hearts of everyone born west of the mountains. (Where Elleys is situated.) Only the Kings of Yen, in direct succession from King Tell, have the power to add to that law, but as centuries of peace go by and the wizards grow weaker and weaker, the knowledge of how the binding is done is forgotten. The law of Elleys becomes a political mess.

As you can see, a great deal of this is rather.... unexplained. I'd rather have as little "Magic" as I can in the actual political structure of Elleys. (I use magic elsewhere in the story but that's- elsewhere.) If the original inhabitants were not fairies, who are they? They had power. That's what led to the rise of the wizards. (And rather than copy the rather worn out wizards-are-powerful-and-evil thing, what else can I call the children of mixed blood who inherited power?) I'm basically looking for a lot of hand-waving to explain all this without involving fairies and elves and magic wands and stuff.

Alright, I'll start thinking about this, and not having magic is pretty simple. I have none in my fantasy.
