Emperor Ellisar Medon II assumes power after his fathers death. During this time he is able to foster peace with the humans, and forms a defensive line at the warfront with the dwarves. This ushers in a golden age for the elves and the formation of the Medonian Empire. During this time, the elves develop the Celestial Calendar to more accurately keep track of time. This knowledge is shared with the humans and halflings, over the years this new trend becomes known to the dwarves as well.
