Title: Elven History
Author: Sertorius
Elven History is held deep within the darkness of history. It is said that at the dawn of time in the Old World there were 3 main humanoid races, the Caines (now called the headless) and the Mongs (now called the Mongbats). Legend has it that all 3 races existed in peace and harmony in a lush tropical forest. Another race the Orcs had barely begun to civilize and Humans were unheard of.
The Elv were Hunters, Tamers and Mages they were also very good Tailors and Cooks.
An Elv named Imperious Rex (an ancient relative of today's Eros Rex) led them during this wondrous time. Elv was the race of magic just as the Caines being the thinkers that they were enjoyed the sciences and The Mong's exploration. It was the Mong's that discovered the Snake people and later the Spider folk. The war with these two races would cost all dearly.
It was war that lasted 400 yrs and when it was done the Caines had been mutated into a Headless brutal race that was born pregnant and spawn mindlessly and attacking any that are not there own. The Winged Mongs were De-evolved to a mindless brutal race of flying monkeys. And The Elves were turned into homeless nomads' left to wander the world in search on a home. Three such Elv were named Mystic (not to be confused with Mystic One of today), Guythan (great, great, great grand father of Guybrush) and Zazaron.
These 3 Elves are credited with founding the New world by following a cave beneath an ancient elven burial ground. It was these Ancient Elv that founded the city of Shar, which is legend to be buried beneath where Vesper now stands. Shar was the shinning glory of the New World and even the Elv that stayed behind now lead by The Great Iceron had heard and wrote of it.
And so it was until the Humans came to that world and founded Britannia. Ratmen, Lizardmen, Dragons and the horrid elv only disease known as the Elves Bane plagued Elves at that time. The Elv and there leader the ill-fated Iriana could not hope to cope with all of this; Mortals were the final straws that forced the Elv to all but fade from existence. Mean while the Elv of the, Old world were also dealt a harsh blow for the settlement was again set upon by the Snake and Spider people only this Time the Gods themselves were involved! The Gods of Olympus aided the Mad Drakkon, 1st Emperor of the Elv in his holy war.
The Titans aided the snakes and spiders. This war left the Elv in victory but also left their kingdom an empty and baron place. The once tropical forest was left a baron desert, but the Snake people were driven back forever and the spider people fled even further away. This was known as the Blighting, the war left the people with a land but no history.
All knowledge of the New World was wiped from their history and the great forest Elv were now a Desert people, nomads their only minor copetion were the Mongs and the Headless that spawned around them. From this Land came Eros Rex and his Royal peers Oakliegh, Theone, Guybrush, and Donavon. They were all friends and Eros was Eldest in a line of Royals. It was they that found an ancient and deadly entry into to New World that lead from the desert to an Island paradise called Serpents Hold. The Older Elves went there separate ways leaving the two Younger ones (Eros and Guybrush) on the Island to fend for themselves.
It was here that Eros met his Cousin Elves the Mystic One, Zazar and Mulch. They were all members of a Royal house that fled the main land for Serpents Hold soon after the fall Shar. Mystic One and Zazar were reforming the Kingdom when Eros met them and shared with them the secret Elven sign of Royalty.
Upon recognition of the Sign they share the stories and legends of the Great elv in their past. They then set about with the help of Gunther, Theone and many others to re-build a Kingdom of Elves. Regal Elv were found and others as well, even a few that seemed not to truly care for the Elves and indeed in time turned out not to be Elv at all! The Elven kingdom had grown fast in a short time under them. But as the kingdom grew Mystic and Eros grew apart, as Eros longed for a return to the old ways and a return to the Old Country and the Island of Serpents Hold.
The Hustle, Bustle of Britinia being to much for Eros, he and a few select member of the Kingdom decided to Return the Elves to its former glory in the days of old and to go back to the old country and re-claim the kingdom as their own.
These Lords of ELSe Lead by Eros Rex and Prince Icewalker and joined by His Fellows Shar Darkstar and Bane Resse will now venture out into the new world to set about the rebuilding of the Old Kingdom to a higher glory ever before known.
