Elves of Lymyra

The Lymyrian elves trace their lineage directly to Mag Mell, the fae realm of eternal twilight and endless life. In antiquity, they rose in defiance against Queen Titania, believing their refinement and vision of order entitled them to supremacy. Their rebellion failed, and they were expelled into Alana. The gateways that once allowed them emtry to Mag Mell now bar their return.   From their banishment, they established the Kingdom of Lymyra in the south-western reaches of Boresia. Although they were initially diminished, the people of Lymyra grew into a formidable kingdom, characterised by its marble citadels, spell-infused forests, and proud armies. They fought wars against the dwarves of Magramine and the humans of Farenian , their ambition to forge a terrestrial empire mirroring their former status in Mag Mell.   The climax of their efforts came during the negotiations to end the 3rd Boresian War. Their secret sponsorship of an assassin to destabilise Farenia failed disastrously. Instead of fracturing, the Farenian Empire found strength in the miraculous ascension of Queen Eleanor Rani, whom many believed was chosen by goddess Senestra. The elves’ plan to fracture the human throne dissolved at that moment, and the Kingdom of Lymyra found itself both humiliated and distrusted by not preventing an assassin to disrupt the negotiations.

Queen Yathanae Fenhorn rules from the capital, Olena Ora, proclaiming herself rightful Empress of the Fae.   The elves of Lymyra pursue three objectives:  

Consolidation of dominion in Boresia

  While they remain barred from Mag Mell, they actively expand the borders and influence of the elvish kingdom of Lymyra across south-western Boresia, consolidating control over trade routes, forests, and smaller human settlements. They impose elvish dominance wherever possible, seeking to make Lymyra a terrestrial empire worthy of the fae throne.   In parallel, Lymyra is constructing a synthetic Mag Mell within its borders - a network of enchanted forests, strongholds, and leyline nexuses bound together in an artificial reflection of the fae realm. Within these protected realms, outsiders find time distorted and entrance nearly impossible without elvish permission.   The Lymyrian elves also work tirelessly to undermine and eventually destroy Arcadia. They regard the Arcadian elves as traitors who have polluted their heritage through weakness and compromise. Lymyrian spies, agents, and saboteurs are already active in Bridgeport.  

Restoration of fae immortality and magical supremacy

  The elves of Lymyra actively pursue ways to restore their near-immortality and strengthen their fae magic. They experiment with ancient fae keys, reconstruct ruined gate-arches, and perform dangerous rituals to draw energy from the leylines of Boresia. Some factions within the kingdom already enslave minor fae spirits to siphon their vitality.
