	In 852 one of the worst openly racist families, the [[Kelmys]], took over the city council from the [[Loraris]] with their hateful rhetoric, promising a prompt and simple solution for the problem. Their first action in office was to ban all human from the city. Many supported this decision, as it was the first real solution which was presented, others argued that humans are too stupid to be better traders than elves anyways, why should they be banned? Many humans got the hint and travelled back to their homelands, others resisted by hiring elves and dwarves to go into the city and buy stuff for them.
