Ilyran Thalas

History

Famous for being poor record keepers nobody is quite sure of the origins of the Elves of Ilyran Thalas. Early historical books from other nations show they've been well established on their homeland for as long as recorded human history and most likely even longer. Efforts were made by the Scholars Of Alquimia to document the Elven history but it seems the Elves have very little desire to record their history.

Invasion By The Raven Order

In the spring of 2986RH The Republic Of The Raven Order launched it's surprise land invasion of Ilyran Thalas. Raven Order troops quickly and brutality made their way up the coast line from the southern watch tower creating a number of Forward Operating Bases along the way. While their invasion of the southern lands was an overwhelming success they've run into a roadblock in the form of the Jungle of Turu which seems to magically warp it's layout when Raven Order troops attempt to pass through. The Eastern watch tower has blocked any type of attempt to circumvent the jungle and cliffs in the west prevent them from marching to the west.

Geography

Ilyran Thalas is home to lush green forest and plains. The island is split into a northern and southern half by steep rocky cliffs. Small villages dot the southern shoreline broken up by the occasional tall watch tower. These towers act as both an archers nest and lighthouses for ships coming to dock. To the north is the elven capital, flanked on three sides by large lakes the capital is considered a engineering marvel. In the center of the island is a tall mountain known as Halda Antaro, a sacred area for the elven people who believe at it's peak is a gateway into the next world where elves can live out the ends of their lives in peace.

Politics

As a whole the people of Ilyran Thalas have no problem governing themselves but many look to the elder elves for guidance.

Economy

The elven economy is largely self sustaining and elves rarely rely on imports to get by. A few entrepreneurial elves have taken it upon themselves to trade with certain representatives from The Merchant Republic but these individuals are rare on Ilyran Thalas.

Demographic And Culture

The population of the island is mostly elves, while elves have no issue with outsiders living in their lands many elves don't give foreigners the time of day so many people who immigrate to Ilyran Thalas find themselves leaving after a short time out of loneliness and isolation. At the age of 500 elves are known for making a pilgrimage to the top of Halda Antaro, a holy site for elves who believe the top of the mountain is a gateway into the next world where elves can live out the remainder of their lives in peace.

Religion

The Eleven God of ice and dragons. Many people believe that Niquis was the creator of the elves and put them on Ilyran Thalas to face hardship before passing on to her realm. Often depicted as a beautiful elven woman riding on a dragon.
