Elf

Elves (Elf meaning Us in Elvish) are a species found in the eastern Archtun region of Evermist. They are known for their gracefulness, beauty, fairness, and wisdom. They are believed to be the second creation of Ilal-Bilendiuer, and his most favored. They are immune to most illnesses and poisons, though their body cannot handle excessive amounts of meat. They are able to adjust to their environment with ease while still maintaining their graceful figure.
Although the memory itself is lost due to Kenrhack destroying it, Ilal-Bilendiuer believes without a dobut that the Elves are the inherritors of the Mantle of Responsibility and were created first, being the only god that has taken a side in the gamble for the Mantle.
Elves are generally more magically adept than other races, possibly because of their blessings from Ilal-Bilendiuer.

History

Creation

The Elves were created by Ilal-Bilendiuer, one of the six gods that were granted the Mantle of Creation by Dividine to help creatre Boreus. Ilal-Bilendiuer would create a continent far to the east and would name it Entalitildor. He would make the continent in the image of his own heavenly realm that resided outside of Boreus, Eldershine. While he was making Entalitildor, he would make along side of it his first creation to live in the land. He called them the Elphoy and loved them. But once Entalitildor was finished being created, Ilal-Bilendiuer would look out upon his creation and weep at its beauty. However, his tears would land on the ground and become sentient beings. Ilal-Bilendiuer would notice them and marvel at their beauty, considering them "perfect people for a pefect place". He put his pride and presence into them, blessing them with his gifts of elegance and grace, so much so that he would forget about his first creation, the Elphoy.
The Elpohy would become enraged that their blessings were passed to the Elves instead and that Ilal-Bilendiuer had forgotten of them in place of the Elves, so they would go to war with the Elves in what was known as the War of Divine Stance. Ilal-Bilendiuer would stay neutral in the combat, but the Elves would eventually defeat the Elphoy due to his blessings. The Elves wished to destroy the Elphoy, but Ilal-Bilendiuer, unable to destroy his first creation, sent them away across the Ballgan Sea. From that moment forward the Elves would rule Entalitildor.

First Age

Early within the Elves creation and settlement of Entalitildor, Broar, the god of the primal spirit, would be saddened that he was not allowed to influence Entalitildor or the Elves. Kenrhack, god of wrath and mischief, would hate the Elves, believing them to be a threat over his takeover of Boreus, so he would distract Ilal-Bilendiuer while he would trick Broar into believing Ilal-Bilendiuer had given him permission to enter Entalitildor. He would make the life there more primal, including the Elves, transforming them into half beast and more animalistic in nature. One half of the Elves however, would be strong enough to resist Broar's corruption and remain pure. These Elves would become known as the line of Aresitar, a great Elf among them who encouraged them to not succumb to Broar's primal nature. When Ilal-Bilendiuer would return, he was heart broken over what had happened to his continent and his precious Elves. He would tear his clothes and then send the corrupted Elves across the sea much like the Elphoy. They would eventually become known as the A'thrarti. From that moment on, Ilal-Bilendiuer would create powerful wards across Entalitildor and make foreign influence on it extremely mininal.

Ilal-Bilendiuer, thinking his Elves and land safe, would enter into a great rest due to the divorcing of his wife, Aurorea, for him stealing Kenella's powers in order to defeat his son, Ygem, who he thought would one day usurp him, while the Elves grew in number, but not before giving them final blessings. Aresitar's lineage would grow strong and cover the whole continent with his children. The Elves grew in number, but also in opinion. Some Elves wanted to leave Entalitildor or even open it up to the rest of the World, believing that good fortune awaits them across the wards. Disagreements such as these, as well as heretics doubting the existence of Ilal-Bilendiuer during his slumber would eventually led to the Holy Wars, which lasted from 2500 1E - 3000 1E. The wars would be deadly and slightly weaken the wards across Entalitildor, but the Elves would swear to themselves to never wage war on themselves in Entalitildor again and to remain on their blessed land in the Treaty of Perfectness. Those that would want the wars to continue would be exiled and later form their own kingdom known as the Domain of Vacre on an island to the west of Entalitildor.
During the Holy Wars in Old Entailitildor, where heretics against Ilal-Bilendiuer were warring with the loyalists of their god, the heretics were losing the war. In a desperate bid for aid, the heretics asked for the help of the god, Uyat, and in exchange they would give them a sample from Entailtildor, which Uyat previously had never been able to attain. It is unknown what the sample from Entailtildor contained. But an impartial divinity known as Maeldor would steal the sample from Uyat's realm of Memen-pres. She would enter into Uyat's realm, Memen-pres, and steal the sample from Entalitildor. She would also steal a small amount of Rhine that the remaining Jaharen were saving to strike back at Wold. She would flee to a land Northwest of Entailtildor and use the sample and the Rhine to create a new race known as the Nahu'r in order to sate her need to create and to rule sometime around 3200 1E.
When Ilal-Bilendiuer discovered that the Jaharen, Maeldor had created life of her own, he was outraged and made his Elves swear to make the Nauhu'rians their sworn enemy, as he viewed them as abominations. The Dread-Wake War would begin in 3224 1E and last to 3245 1E, being the first large scale conflict between the Elves and Nahu'rians, which would see no clear winner but the Elves would fail to destroy their new rival.

In the year 3500 1E, Ilal-Bilendiuer would be fearful that if he were to wander away from the Elves like he had done in his slumber or while distracted by Kenrhack, a repeat of the godly wars would occur, so he would mandate a ruling line directly from Aresitar to lead his people. The first High Ruler of the Elves would be established as High Queen Tyrael, who was a direct descendent of Aresitar. She would be responsible for direct communication between Ilal-Bilendiuer and the rest of the Elven race. A massive renaissance would begin among the Elves as they developed new government systems and their cities almost grew to encompass the entire southern regions of Entalitildor. It was said that she wore a crown that had the god-kissed jewel in it, kissed by Ilal-Bilendiuer himself and serve as a reminder that the Elves are his blessed people.

The grand city of Selvenni was founded soon after the coorination of High Queen Tyrael, which was built in record time, finishing around 3505 1E. It would be the center of civilization in Entalitildor and sit the Throne of Silver.

Peace and prosperity would endure in Entalitildor for years to come until an unknown crisis occured in the north of Entalitildor somewhere around 3600 1E, which took the attention away from Ilal-Bilendiuer, entrusting his people under the rule of High Queen Tyrael.

Disaster would strike for the Elves in 4050 2E, when the Four Changes would be loosed from Helifex's scepter. They would be captured by the A'thrarti and used to create their home of Reachcrest, before they sent them in the direction of Entalitildor. The Four changes would come and destroy the words Ilal-Bilendiuer had put in place to protect Entalitildor from outside influences- or to let the Elves leave.

When the wards around Entalitildor were destroyed, Uyat, the god-Collector of All, would send his minions to sack Entalitildor and sample everything, which he was once not able to do. This would serve as a catylist to the degregation of Entalitildor, as without the wards around it, Helifex's blessings would disperse and the land would soon start to wilt.

A young Elven boy known as Sunajaas would be taken as a sample into Uyat's realm of Memen-pres. he would pray day and night for Ilal-Bilendiuer to come and rescue him, but Ilal-Bilendiuer would not risk an invasion into Uyat's realm after Entalitilor had already been sacked. Sunajaas would go through rigorus disection and experimentation that was akin to the worst of torture, before one day he would manage to steal a small sample of rhine that Uyat had as a sample for the power substance. The boy would be transformed into that almost like a god and renamed himself as Aasjanus, believing now that he was a perfect form- and that it was only possible by going through immense pain and trial that he had become so. He would escape Memen-pres and return to Boreus, where he would thank Ilal-Bilendiuer for not rescuing him, as his trials has made him what he is. He would then destroy much of Entalitildor, believing that if the Elves were worthy of living, they must endure great trial like they had not before.

He would create his own army and destroy much of Entalitildor. His final act was destroying Selvenni and killing High Queen Tyrael, crippling the Elves. Ilal-Bilendiuer would soon defeat Aasjanus and bound him within his realm of Eldershine, but the carnage was done, and Entalitildor was little more a shadow of its former radiant self. Seeing that Entalitildor was no longer worthy of hosting his Elves, Ilal-Bilendiuer would command the Elves to make an exodus from the fading light of Entalitildor.

The Elves would weep bitterly as the majority of them left, leaving the few that stayed behind to an unknown fate. Aasjanus would seem to mock them with even more trials, as they journied through the Ballgan Sea, they would be attacked by the Nahurians and the Elphoy. reducing their numbers but in turn hardenining their resolve. They were guided by the god-kissed jewel from within the high crown, giving the Elves hope in their dark time, as Ilal-Bilendiuer led them to the place where he had married his now divorced wife.

In 4123 1E, the Elves would land in present day Evermist after being guided by the God-Kissed Jewel. They would be peacefully greated by the Enan-idra that inhabited the region and would allow them to settle the unused land to the north as long as they kept the Beasts of the East at bay from them. The Elves would settled their new capital of Selynn on an island surrounded by a dark cavern. They made it to mimic the glory of Selvenni, though many say it did not come close. A new high king, Taerentym would be crowned and hope was restored to the Elves as they hosted a month long celebration in Selynn in what was to become known as the Red Jewel Festival.

Little did the elves know that the reason the Enan'idra did not settle the land to the north was because of the dangerous forest spirits that lived on the land and were hostile to any that tried to settle the land, possibly because of the Enan'idra's meddling with the Twisted Realm that affected them. The elves would do battle with the forest spirits but would lose many in the process. That is when the elves decided to poison the forest spirits instead. They would create a vile posion known as Melikx with the help of the Yui, who were known for their alchemy and rare ingredients in the Shrewrose peaks. In return, the elves made an alliance with the yui and gave them much technology, propelling their race ahead. the elves would use Melikx to posion some of the forest spirits, which in turn became sickly and very hostile. They would merge into one giant form known as the Putrid, but the elves would be able to bound its weakened presence to the Gulf of Lohrink, not allowing it to leave the low-laying regino of Lohoarnik which lay across the gulf. In turn, the region would become a sickly wild, with the forest life changing and becoming twisted and sickly. The remaining forest spirits would retreat deep into the Deep Veil, and the elves would gain access into all of Evermist.

Ilal-Bilendiuer, fearing his people would become normal and lose his blessings from Entalitildor, and knowing he could not continually bless them lest he grow too weak and Aasjanus would return, would turn to the god of Perfection Celinioar, and ask him to bless the Elves. It is unknown if it was done by force or willingness, but Celinioar would reportedly then be tortured in the process for his presence to be extracted and be given as blessings for the elves. The elves would eventually build a grand city around Celinioar, his suffering greatly blessing it and making it holy. He would be imprisoned within the grand castle of Pae that stands above the city of Iedaleivadil. The tourting would be led by a brilliant mage known as Chelior and would be allowed to give extra blessings exract from Celinioar to his close friends and family including Naeryndam Glynynore, slowly turning them into the fairest of them all- the high elves.

The Battle of Mount Threeblood was a massive battle that occurred on 4425 2E. It was a defining moment in history for how the three races of dwarves, humans, and elves were to interact with each other for the rest of the age. The battle took place beneath a large mountain in Western Evermist, just east of the Kenari Mountains.

Second Age

When Lassensta would fall in 4200 2E, and the second age began, the elves instantly embraced the Arcane Wardens and gained magic faster than any other race. This was essential and greatly helpful to the elves who would declare war on the Kenari during the Human-Kenari War and push them back to the Kenbarna Mountains.
In 4250 2E, Malthazar, the prisce of Ilal-Bilendiuer, would argue with him that he had broken the Oligorus-Kin-Pact by torturing Celinior. He argued that he should be exiled and the Elves be given over to him. The Elves that agreed fought with their kin. The loyalists to Ilal-Bilendiuer would prove victorious, and Mathalzar and his followers would be offered to Ilal-Bilendiuer, who would give them up to the void. However, some repented of their rebellion and offered their young to Ilal-Bilendiuer in an act of begging for mercy. This night would be known as the Wails of the Young. These elves would be forgiven but forever be plunged with depression, and these would become the Grey Elves. The remaining elves that followed Mathalzar would be offered up to the Void in a mass teleportation ritual, but they would soon be claimed by the Forgotten Divinity, who took them to the Forgotten Moon and transformed them to his liking, making them the Umbral Elves, who now wish the enact their revenge and free Celinioar, thinking once freed, he will help them retake their home of Evermist. They often open portals through nightmares and enter into Wold again from the Forgotten Moon.
The elves would begin the Fracturing Era around this time, in which they would settle and define Evermist, from Shrewrose Peaks in the north to Hel-Krah in the south. The Elves, with their natural affinity to adapt to their environment, would begin to change, with the different sub-races of Elves being created to fit the region of Evermist they settled. In all, cave elves, high elves, middle elves, letundae elves, wood elves, grey elves, dark elves, umbral elves, cysterean elves, and metal elves would be created in this era after several generations.
The letundae elves, which settled the northern region that was known as Alaswell (now present-day Kiyumade) would come in close contact with Aurorea, who asked them to take up the mantle of protection and take care of the Aurorean species which permeated the land in exchange for her blessings.
In 4300 2E, the Schism of the rivers would occur, with elves fighting over control of Cysterani. The fighting between these two houses would be so extreme that it would break apart a portion of Evermist that would become known as Ashenbuar, which became devestated during the combat, even the landscape changing to reshape to the war. However, an Arcane Warden was sleeping on Ashenbuar and was awoken by the warfare. He would trap the elves on Ashenbuar and curse them, making them unable to leave Ashenbuar and care for his land, and in turn, him. These elves would become known as the dark elves.
In 4400 2E, Ilal-Bilendiuer would make the commandment that all elves were to give birth in the Ethereal Peninsula so that they may properly recieve his blessings (from the tortured Celinioar).
Some elves would be drawn to the forest of Deep Veil, where Ilal-Bilendiuer and Aurorea had consummated their marriage. Their Prisces had planted the forest as a gift to them, but now it was one of the few places where Ilal-Bilendiuer would refuse his presence to enter. He warned the elves to not enter, but they ignored and entered into the Deep Veil. He would rescend many of his blessings from them, and deny them from giving birth in the Ethereal Peninsula. These elves would eventually become the wood elves and even ally with the ancient nature spirits of the Deep Veil that they had once fought against.
In 4500 2E, the Gryffels would come from Kalasier in hopes to escape the Hydra that set on conquering the continent. The elves would soon tame and coexist with the Gryffels, making a close ally and redefining their cultures.
In 4850 2E, Rilvunor The Fallen comes as apart of the Five Fallen in order to weaken Wold and prepare it for the invasion of their master, Kenrhack. Rilvunor makes himself a great debatesman and becomes a great noble in Iedaleivadil, while making himself to be a high elf and hiding his true identity.
In 4910 2E, the Eislanians would come from their lost continent and visit all of Wold to help them with their societies. The elves found favor among them and offered to take seven of their best to go to Eislana and learn great wisdom so that the elves may be led by them and lead all of Wold to prosperity. They would take Folmar Omalana, Grathgor Cailynn, Llewel Torric, Kylantha Ianmys, Meira Lurieth, Rilvunor Josandoral (The Fallen), and Naeryndam Glynynore, the last elf to witness the light of Old Entalitildor. They would be blindfolded and sent to Eislana to learn their wisdom and also to learn of Kenrhack and his plan to invade Wold.
Upon their return, they would be convinced by Rivunor to form the Ryo-Alluin. They would tell High King Taerentym that they must form the Ryo-Alluin to help him rule the elves and unite them for the coming darkness of Kenrhack. Rilvunor, seeing great pride deep within Naeryndam Glynynore, would elect him to be their ruler and encourage him to go unite all the elves under one banner, though his intentions were to actually corrupt the elves, the biggest threat to Kenrhack on Wold.
The Era of Reformation would occur, and Naeryndam Glynynore would go across Evermist and unite the elves under the Ryo-Alluin, but along the way, the more success he had, the more his ego and lust for power grew, and his actions became more and more sinister and harsh. He would battle House Glanrel and Daurini of the Middle Elves and conquer them. He would let them keep the Realm of Goras, but make it under the command of the Ryo-Alluin. The Arcane Warden in Ashenbuar would eventually be felled by Naeryndam Glynynore, making him a hero to the dark elves, thinking that he would free them, but instead he told them they were too different to fully integrate into elven society, so he had them construct the world bridge and place two powerful Ash Sentinels to guard it and would let the dark elves host an annual festival known as the festival of crossing, which was celebrated to let the dark elves cross over for a month and interact with the other elves to show the Ryo-Alluin they could integrate within society, giving them false hope, as the Ryo-Alluin have not let them cross permenetly yet. The letundae elves of Alaswell, who were ruled by the Treeborne Kings, would refuse to join Naeryndam Glynynore and his Ryo-Alluin, due to Aurorea warning them of their corruption and that they would harm her creation. She asked them to uphold their Mantle of Protection and they would. The Ryo-Alluin would delcare war on them in 4950 2E, eventually winning and gaining Alaswell and access to M'n'a. The letundae elves would be destroyed, but Aurorea would beg the elves to uphold the Mantle of Protection for the aurorean species, which they said they would.
Seeing the elves as wounded from their civil war in the north, the expansive Roscrea empire to the west, looking for more territory, would lightly invade Alaswell, starting the Human-Elven Schism. The humans would eventually be repelled back across the Kenbarna Mountains, ending the schism in 4971 2E, but not before Roscrea was able to set up a brief kingdom known as Kingdom Javales. Upon their defeat, some humans elected to stay in Alaswell under the rule of the Ryo-Alluin, due to its beauty and the life they started there. The Ryo-Alluin, seeing this as a perfect opportunity to rid themselves of the burdensome Mantle of Protection for the Aurorean species, would agree and pass the Mantle onto them. They would then enact the Entartist in 4980 2E, calling all Aurorean species back to M'n'a and not allow them to leave. All would comply except the Gnomes. The humans in Alaswell would interbreed with the elves, and create a new subrace of half breeds known as Kiyumadians, under the rule of the rule of the Ryo-Alluin, they would create the puppet kingdom of Kiyumade where region Alaswell had been.
During the Human-Elven Schism, the Orks to the south in the region of Malatata would be eying the elves and would test if they were a worthy raiding target like the humans to the north were. The War of Bones would begin in 4991 2E, right after the Human-Elven Schism had ended. The Orks would invade primarily the Realm of Goras in huge number, with multiple tribes banning together to invade Evermist. Along the way, the orks would hear from elven prisoners of a great city to the north known as Iedaleivadil which had untold spelndor and riches. Once they reached Selynn, they would sack the city but thirst for more. The middle elves would be furious the Ryo-Alluin mobilized their armies to protect the border of the Domain of Daliyar instead of protecting Selynn. The orks would march north to the Domain of Daliyar. The Ryo-Alluin would recklessly throw waves of middle elves to stop them, enraging the middle elves more. Eventually, during the pivitol battle of Hollowborne Cast, where huge numbers of middle elves were slaughtered, Naeryndam Glynynore would go into the battle himself and rescue the leader of House Naeydim, and slaughter the chieftans of each ork tribe, making the orks leaderless and scatter, ending the War of Bones in 4995 2E. Middle Elf Houses Daurini and Glanrel were furious over how the Ryo-Alluin had protected the Domain of Daliyar with their own kind rather than the Realm of Goras, while the high elves did not fight. However, House Naeydim was thankful for Naeryndam Glynynore protecting their leader. House Daurini and Glanrel would conspire with other elven races like the wood , Cysterean, metal, and dark elves to rebel against the Ryo-Alluin. They would even convince the High King Taerentym to abandon the Ryo-Alluin, who had been slowly usupring him.
All this tension would lead to a rebellion against the Ryo-Alluin, and in turn,and the High Elves of the Domain of Daliyar. These elven races would create the Alliance of Elves and march on to the Domain of Daliyar in 5000 2E. Naeryndam Glynynore would be apprehensive about battling his close kin in such a manner, but he would be convinced by Rivunor to send an army of high elves and battle the gigantic army of the Alliance of Elves in the northern region of the Realm of Goras known as Seven Tongues. The result would be massive bloodshed not seen since the Holy Wars. The Ryo-Alluin would slaughter all in their path until victory was achieved and the Alliance of Elves surrendered. The Ryo-Alluin would then place a new puppet High King Itham-Bryqen after Naeryndam Glynynore slaughtered High King Taerentym. The Domain of Daliyar would then demand yearly tribute from each elf sub-race that had rebelled against them.
One Great House of middle elves, House Glanrel, would still refuse rule of the Ryo-Alluin and be in open rebellion against them. The Ryo-Alluin would then send an army of high elves to the Realm of Goras, along with the loyalist house Naedyim, and utterly destroy House Glanrel in 5005 2E, ruining the eastern portion of the great Ratha-Gas forest. House Glanrel's destruction was so complete that from that moment on there would be no sign of rebellion against the Ryo-Alluin, though House Daurini would always oppose them in anyway they could, primarily in the debate forums.
Around the time of 5200 2E, the Ryo-Alluin would grow weary of Celinioar being trapped in Pae, fearing that others would soon find out about him and his state. They then agreed to transfor the god to Kiyumade where minning efforts had unveiled a large chasm dug out by the Roscreans during their invasion, capable of holding Celinioar due to its magical properties and being far from their capital. The Ryo-Alluin would order all residents of Kiyumade and the Domain of Daliyar to stay within their houses lest they be killed, as they proclaimed that Ilal-Bilendiuer had come to see who was worthy to kiss his feet, but none were worthy to look upon him. During the cover of night, Celinioar would be transfered over to the Deep Cavern in Kiyumade. His cries were so awful it left many deaf and shook the very ground. He was then secured in the Deepest Cavern, where his presence would be extracted and brought to the Ethereal Peninusla, where the new born of the elves would be blessed with it.
However, the Ryo-Alluin lying that Ilal-Bilendiuer had come down had stirred in the minds of the elves which sub-race would be worthy to kiss his feet. The rivaling cysterean elves and the wood elves would argue with one another and only be egged on by Rivunor. They would go to war with one another in the war that was known as The War of a Thousand Branches. However during this war, powerful magics were used on both sides, magic of the rivers, and magic of the Forest Spirits, causing the rift between the Twisted Realm and Boreus to become unstable in Evermist, and allowing the Twisted Gods to peer inside Boreus and begin to think of how to invade it.
In 5400 2E, the arks to the west that had settled the Eastern Reaches of Malatata had become weary of the constant warfare and bloody nature of their ork kin that had claimed many of their lives. Some of the arks would find a lost aritifact from the Kenari that had ventured into the region long ago called the Ethereal Court, which were a collection of masks that would bestow great leadership and power that were once worn by their leaders who escaped into the Eastern Reaches before being slaughtered by the orks there. They were given to five shamans of the arks, who then combined their tribes into one and invaded the Realm of Goras, hoping that the power of the Ethereal Court and their combined numbers would be enough to force their way into Evermist. The middle elves, knowing the Ryo-Alluin would not help them, came to the Boutue to ask for aid. The Boutue would grant them aid, and along with the help of the grey and metal elves, they were able to stop the tide of the arks, but instead of destroying them, the Boute would make the middle elves sue for peace, and allow the peaceful remnant of arks to live in the Realm of Goras as woodland arks as long as they swore an oath to never harm the realm. The middle elves would argree and allow some of the arks to stay as woodland arks. the middle elves would begin to look up toward the Boutue, much to the jealously of the Ryo-Alluin. Rivunor would be carefully watching the Boutue and reporting their actions to his master, Kenrhack, but this would also catch the eye of the Eislanians, who started to favor them instead of the elves.
The Mergence would occur in 5990 2E, shaking all of Wold to its core. The Twisted Gods would manage to break the barrier between Boreus and the Twisted Realm and try to invert the realms so that the Twisted Realm would take the place of Boreus. All of Evermist would be under attack, suffering much damege. It would take the loosing of the Aurorean Species in M'n'a to slow the tide of the twisted creatures coming from the rifts. It would take the combined efforts of Highest King Itham-Bryqen, Emperor Markt Verlal, a powerful ork shaman, and God-King Karkirgan's father to stop the Twisted Gods, all to their sacrifice. This event would show all the major four races of Archtun that it was possible for coexistance to be possible, and each would go into the Third Era in a peaceful state. The Aurorean Species would be rounded back up and thrown into M'n'a again under the Mantle of Protection from the Kiyumadians, but the stragglers that were not caught were outlawed as pests by the Ryo-Alluin and would be treated harshly.
After the Mergence Crisis, there wold be a great peace on Wold for fifty years, before it was broken by the War of Madness, which was the final of triad of ork-elvish wars. In 6050 2E, a mad ork scientist would create a plague that would turn orks mad and full of bloodlust as to restore them to their "true nature". The result would be orks going mad and rampaging across and beyond Malatata into the White Pass. House Daurini would be preparing for this moment the next time the orks would invade, and sent a specialized army known as the "Green Shields" which fought valiently for more than two years at the White Pass to hold off the orks from entering the realm of Goras. A cure would be created and by 6052 2E the War of Madness would be over, with many casualities on both sides.
In 6079 2E, the Orks would band together under a single leader, known as Maua Uga, and form the first Ork Empire known as the Wurmah Empire, their capital being Mezzadun. They would declare war against all of Archtun, citing it as retrabution for the mistreatment of their people. Maua Uga would launch a massive campaign up the Kenbarna Mountains, searching for the lost and ancient capital of the Kenari Empire in order to use it as a bastion to attack both the Dwarves, Humans, and Elves. The largest army ever in the history of Archtun would ascend up the Kenari Mountains, until the Dwarves, Humans, and Elves banded together in a rare alliance to defeat the Ork army at Anyhill Plateau. The alliance would barely prove victorious, with the Emperor of Roscrea and the High Chief of the Dwarves being killed, and the Ryo-Alluin member that led the Elves being wounded to the face. A memorial would be built for the fallen at Anyhill, and legends would arise that the land was so soaked with blood that the soil would forever be red. The Wurmah Empire would soon crumble after the fall of the great army and their leader, descending back into civil war between clans.
In 6100 2E, the Ryo-Alluin would elect a new puppet High Queen to rule the elves, High Queen Imaril.
In 6133, a stray high elf known as Amrican the Souless, and wielder of necromacy, would try to create his own army of the dead by resurrecting the fallen from the War of Madness in the White Pass. He would also ressurect a hydra's skeleton that the Vardux had experimented with in the Ordxer Forest. His army wreaked havoc across the southern Realm of Goras and into Urasmel. It would take the combined effort of the grey elves, cave elves, and the wood elves as well as the Forgotten Divinity to defeat him.
In 6493 2E, the Orks would try once more to form an Empire in Mezzadun, under the memory of Maua, her great-great-great grandson, Tetal Uga, taking up her mantle and waging another war against Archtun with a mostly united Malatata at his back. After years of conflict, the High Elves would march into Mezzadun and destroy the city (though it was soon rebuilt). They would publicly execute all the members of the Uga bloodline, including Tetal, in the region of Heimergerg, and create a monument there to make all the Orks remember what happened the last time they formed an empire. From that moment forward, the High Elves would create a group known as the Inciters, to keep the Orks in a perpetual state of war with one another, and keep Mezzadun under their control.
With all of the bloody war between the elves and the orks, and tens of thousands dead on either side, in the year of 6600 2E, the two species would agree to reach a treaty that would outlaw any further war between them. The treaty would be known as the White-Green Peacitry, which would ultimately give back the orks control of Mezzadun, and any ork tribe that went beyond the Eastern Reaches was to be labled a rouge tribe and killed. The two sides would agree, but the Inciters would continue their work of dividing the orks in secret.
After the Eislanians had observed the Ryo-Alluin, more specifically, Naeryndam Glynynore, to see if the Elves would be worthy to enter into Drerra and buy time for Wold to prepare for the battle with Kenrhack and his forces, the Eislanians agreed that due to the corruption of the Ryo-Alluin for power, through wars and force, that the Elves were unworthy. They instead turned south to the Boutue at the turn of the Third. For a thousand years, they watched the Boutue live in peace and prosper, as well as bringing peace to other lands while still maintaining great power in their military might. They would then choose the Boutue to be the Vanguard- those that would bring the fight to Kenrhack to buy time for Wold to prepare. This was done without the consent or knowledge of the Ryo-Alluin.

Third Age

The elves would go into the third age relatively peaceful, having sedated the orks and achieved control over Evermist. An era of intellectual and technological growth would begin and be known as "The Age of Reason" (7000 3E -7200 3E. The elves would classify 6000 2E - 6500 2E as "The Age of the Sword". During this Age of Reason, the belief would come about that the elves should try to make ammends with the Elpohy in the Gilded Archipelago, as they continued to raid the Evermist coastline. A diplomatic fleet would be sent out of the city of Darunia-fe-efh and travel to the Gilded Archipelago, despite poor omens from Ilal-Bilendiuer. The fleet would return with only one ship which was battered and partly aflame, and the survivors would tell of a coming danger that the Elpohy mocked them of before destroying the fleet.
In 7250 3E, Foulbark was unleashed from Amut, and the Bog Crisis would commence, the swamps of Amut threatening to swallow Malatata, Hel-Krah, and southern Evermist in bog. Powerful and foul spirits from Foulbark would land in each region, creating pillars of transformation that would start to transform the land around it into bog. The boutue were successful in destroying their pillars, rouge rhuuxls and the nature spirit in Hel-Krah, and even aided the elves and orks in destroying theirs. It took the combined might of the boutue, elves, orks, and rhuuxls that did not join the bog to seal away Foulbark once more. This event made the Eislanians consider the boutue for the role of Vanguard they had once given to the elves.
In 7300 3E, some ambitious elves, looking to gain the favor of the Ryo-Alluin would try to bring a cure for the diseased nature in Loharnik. Kylantha Ianmys, member of the Ryo-Alluin would find the work of these elves and murder them, atrributing the work to herself, but to her horror, she would realize the work was incomplete. Not wanting to look like a fool, she would trave to Loharnik and attempt to cure to wildlife with the unfinished cure, but she would ultimately be consumed and join the Putrid. The Ryo-Alluin would make it illegal to mention her or her work again, fearing that their status as the leader of elves would be questioned.
Sometime in the year of 7400 3E, the Nahurians and the Elphoy would band together, slowly carving away a giant iceberg in the Frozen Sea and imbuing it with magic to make it mobile. They would create a grand fortress out of it and sail it to Evermist, where they would send it down the Cysterani River and wreak havoc across Evermist. It would take the city of Glimmerdim, the capital of the cysterean elves, as well as the grey elves ashore to take down the iceberg-fortress.
In 7500 3E, Ilal-Bilendiuer's realm of Eldershine would be severed from Oligours and under attack by the Forgotten Divinity and the Umbral Elves. This would allow Aasjanus, who was held in the realm, to escape and travel to Boreus through the tear in Hel-Krah between Oligorus and Boreus. He would wreak havoc in Hel-Krah and kill many boutue, before killing the head of the Sacred Few and impersonating him. Over the course of several years, he would stage several accidents against the boutue and frame the elves, trying to incite a war between the two species. However, he would become enraged at the wisdom of the boutue, as they always would treat each situation with grace and precaution, unlike the elves he was so used to. Aasjanus would try one last time to threaten the Sacred Few to go to war with the elves or their race would be destroyed by the gods of Oligorus. The Sacred Few preffered destruction over a needless war. At this, Aasjanus exposed himself and killed the Sacred Few. He would then escape to Kiyumade, where he discovered the Tortured Celinoar. He would then lead the some of the Kiyumadians to witness the Tortured Celinioar, and the Kiyumade would then begin to talk of rebellion against the elves. The Ryo-Alluin would eventualy recieve word of the return of Aasjanus and traveled to Kiyumade where they found him tring to free Celinioar so he may help him in destroying the elves. The Ryo-Alluin would battle Aasjanus and eventually win, but Rivunor would secretly trap his essence and place him in the Ethereal Peninsula, where he may grow stronger while leaching off the blessings of each elven baby in hopes to one day return and destroy the elves.
In 7700 3E, a small Kiyumadian uprising, known as the Resin Rebellion began from the heir of Eko. It was easily crushed by the high elves, but it put the watchful eye of the elves at the dissident Kiyumadians.
In 7800 3E, a massive outbreak of prisoners- the worst of elven society, had broken out from the Parted Prision, as a new cult that worshiped the strange new god of captivity, Errend, made ways across middle elven culture.
In 7905 3E, the sole son of the previous high king Taerentym, Irethean would challenge High Queen Ralla Maria to the throne, saying his father was wrongfully slaughtered by the Ryo-Alluin and that ever since, the seat of the high king has been corrupted. Each would give each other a hundred years to prepare for the duel.
In 7955 3E, a great beast of the Aurorean species, known as Wilderkin, broke through the Aurorean Rise and began to trample across Evermist. It was nigh unstoppable but would be killed by Irethean before it destroyed Selynn, making him a hero among the elven people. However, distain against the Aurorean species would grow among the elves because of this.
The Rise of Spirits would occur in 7960 3E, when a great number of spirits silently made their way south to the Domain of Daliyar for unknown reasons. Many accuse the high elves of this event, although no proof has been presented to stake them guilty. The Kiyumadians would further talk of rebellion against the elves after this event.

Fourth Age

In 8000 4E, the Eislanians would secretly approach the boutue, and inform them that they had been watching their race with great interest, and the title of Vanguard that they had once considered to the elves now belonged to them. They talked of how the Ryo-Alluin misunderstood the meaning of the mantle, as it was not one of praise but rather sacrifice. The boutue then prepared for their invasion into Drerra to buy Wold time to prepare for Kenrhack's invasion of Boreus, all while keeping it a secret from the elves.
Upon hearing that the boutue were preparing to invade Drerra, Rivunor framed them for teh destruction of the city of Ifaliandureil in 8002 4E, hoping the elves would go to war against the boutue, but instead, the boutue would help rebuild the city. As a new resort, Rivunor now looks to his ally, the Amalgamate in the west, a fellow member of the Five Fallen, as well as the Silver Vice in Roscrea to see if they can stir up a great war between the humans, elves, and orks. He also looks to see if he can somehow sabatoge the duel for the high throne, bringing the elves into further corruption. He also sets his eyes upon Kiyumade, eager to ensue chaos and corruption within their thoughts of rebellion. .
