Elves

History

The Elves of Orentescir inhabit the forest of Esgaleryn, in the southeast . The Elves of this area have a naturalistic bent and do not expand unless they need to, but still have a somewhat colonial attitude towards the rest of the races in Orentescir . Their empire, ruled by an oligarchic council that replaced the emperor millenia ago, was built on top of the ruins of an older one and their territory is largely determined by natural borders rather than political ones as, until fairly recently in their history, they never had to worry about crossing anyone elses' borders.

Recent Events

Until recently the Elves were at war with the much younger Lordae Republic, a Human realm. With the timely diplomatic intervention of the Dwarves the formal hostilities have ended, but the racial divisions run deeper than mere words.
