Gellion foundation

Cultural event

Founding of the Gellion Empire, Enslavement of the elves, and the war of the dragon.

Four large kingdoms join together to become one, joining under the kingdom Amintore founded. This new nation covers what is now the province state Gellenor. The current king named the new era the Gellion era as his line had been established to rule. He named their nation the Gellion Empire. Later a red dragon attacked the empire, It burned villages and a portion of the city to the ground. They shot spells at the dragon which did cause it harm but its hide was thick and it would quickly heal. The elves would not raise a finger to aid in the dragons destruction, they aided the injured but would not take to the battle. Finally shards of ice were able to shred through the dragons wings causing it to land, the army of the kingdom charged it. They lost more than half of their army but successfully slew the dragon. They discovered that the elven weapons they carried were able to penetrate the dragons hide and keeping from healing the damage. (The elves made and traded weapons with the people as the weapons they make never lost their edge and did not rust.) The bronze dwarves also aided in slaying the dragon as they have been hunting it for years and were a huge help to the kingdom. The emperor and his people grew wrathful with the elves for not taking the field against the dragon, the emperor in particular was very angry for the lose of his wife was very fresh. The emperor had all the elves rounded up and imprisoned for treason. The emperor wanted vengeance against the elven race for much his family, people, and kingdom had been lost in the dragons attack. He felt that if the elves had acted from the start much lose and suffering could have been avoided. He contacted the red headed humans from across the Akani sea. He had the people of Balandear interbreed with the elves as well as breeding them with gellion humans. He kept their blood heavy with their own elven blood so as not to loose their magical gift of crafting weapons that can slay dragons. He mingled human blood into their bloodline just enough to greatly alter their features and life span. By the end of the era the elves were enslaved mostly for labor, crafting weapons to slay dragons and other draconian creatures. The empire used the remines of the dragon to make a tremendous profit from the dwarves and other surrounding nations as well as creating the Royal cloak, a red gold cloak made from the dragons scales and gifted to the King by the dwarves.
