Andlis-Harh becomes official capital of the Elvish Empire

Cultural event

After 3000 years of Elvish tribes, villages and small colonies the Elves were finally ready to organise the lands. Several Elvish Lords had already gained power over small regions, and trade between the regions had grown strong bonds between them all. It was only when The Comet first arrived that the Elves were brought together...

The comet appeared in the sky around 3000 years after the Elves had first been in the world. There were several hundreds small colonies, tribes and settlements scattered around the land, the largest being Andlis-Harh and Oldtown. The most powerful Elvish mages had founded The College to study the lands and develop magical arts. They sent out word to the Elvish Lords that the comet would see the coming of a great age for the Elves. The Dwarves had already started to become a bigger part of society with their mines being responsible for a lot of the metal and gem supplies, and the Elven mages tasked some of the best Dwarven craftsmen to use leftover metal from the Titans to make a sword, one they believed would be wielded by the coming leader.   The Mages collected the weapon and ventures out, spreading the word of the great leader who would be found. As the Elves tell the story the mages searched for 5 years, looking in every town and village. The comet appeared every year for 90 days. Slowly the lands became united in the belief that there would be a great leader revealed to them when the comet was in the sky. The Humans say that the Elves didn't search for the leader, they say that the Elves fought and one leader emerged victorious and bloody. The Elvish story goes that after 5 years and the comet first appeared the mages found a young boy, named Jenjun , son to a trader in Andlis-Harh. The legend goes that the mages showed the boy a selection of artefacts from the Titans and the boy handled each one, they asked him what each one was, a question none of them truly knew. And the boy answered, explaining that the first was a piece of a Titan helmet, the second a piece of a musical instrument, and the third a piece of an Amrita, an item that Jenjun explained was used to focus magical energy into a concentrated object. The mages were in disbelief, they told his father they believed he to be the prophesied Elf, and they declared to the lands that the true leader of the Elves had been found. They sent word to all Elvish Lords that they, by the divine right of the knew King, were to serve him. The Lord of Andlis-Harh was hard to motivate but the mages apparently convinced him. This is disputed by many as they say the mages threatened or even killed the Lord of the city to make sure they had a strong starting point to convince the rest of the nation. The religion Anceter was reformed and formalised into a full church at this time, and The Mages took control of the teaching, although this was a short leadership.   Many, especially humans, look back at the story and believe the mages wanted to seize power and put themselves at the heart of the new Elvish crown, spreading the word of divine right as a ploy to get people to obey. But whatever the motivation, it worked, the lands were almost entirely set of serving the crown, with a few minor disputes over how a continent-wide government would work. The Elves had been used to independent governing for thousands of years, they would have to develop ideas of taxation, a wide-spread currency all would accept and an attempt at a centralised military (although this never properly came to fruition due to the empire mainly having peace).   This saw the start of the best time for the Elves, around two thousand years of unbroken ruling by the Jenjun bloodline, with around 12 Kings leading the race to prosper...
