History

House Elarora has been established for many years.  It was a a lesser house for many years, and Rose to a Great house in 221AS.  It was during this time that there was a great altercation between the Elesti and a horde of Orce from the south.  A crafter in house Elarora, had been working on crafting techniques that had not been used since the days of Arvendar.  In Arvendar the techniques were used for practical good, as there was no violence in that blessed land.  The crafters of the house, used the technique to create Armor and Weapons, that were stronger than what had been created before and lighter.  MAny were very angry that they would take the skill of peaceful Arvandar and turn them to weapons of war, but the need was great.  With these new techniques, the armed the Elves with superior weapons and armor, much better than wha the orcs had access to, and that was a real turning point for the lves.  The house was elevated to a great house, as the King saw that not only did they need the skills, but they also needed the guidance to understand what could be made and what was needed to ensure the military had what is needed to defend the Land.
