Empire of the Ancient Elves

Cultural event

Before the Sundering, Ancient Elves ruled an empire that spanned the world. It vanished during the Sundering, and no one knows why.

Over three thousand years ago, an ancient Elven civilization stretched across the continent. Popular belief is that they had magics beyond any now known, and were nigh-immortal rather than just long lived. Historians have puzzled over what brought about the end of this civilization for centuries, but there is very little consensus; some say it was civil war, while others blame natural disasters or the battles of great mages. Not even the Elves themselves know, for none now living were alive that long ago. All that is known is that ruins of white marble towers now litter Daearen, all that's left of an Elven empire.
