<span class='elvish'>malEldarisi</span> The mal-Eldarisi (or 'Of the Eldar' in the common tongue) contains all the knowledge left over the Eldar times. With the start of the coming of the elves and the advent of the first calendar, this work contains the history of year 1 lo. to 2011 lo. of the Elven Calendar, ending before the start of the God Slaying. # On the Awakening of the First Race - [ ] Awakening of the Elves in Ellefeth - [ ] The elves learn the way of Singing, communing with the trees and creatures around them and awakening them. - [ ] Through their crafts they expand their knowledge and create fire, which angers Ignan - [ ] The story of Alboreth, the wisest of the elves, and his mediations. # On the Godly Rivalry - [ ] Their continued exploration leads them to invent seafaring, mountain climbing, and caving. The elementals come together to create the Giants to protect their domains (original giants were known as the titans) - [ ] As the elves suffered at the hands of the cruel titans, the Celestials granted boons to their devout and offered magicks to their followers to protect them from these threats (birth of the first paladins & clerics) - [ ] The Fey beings roaming Archon were afeared their domain would be challenged by these powerful new beings (both magical elves and the titans) and increased their presence in the world - [ ] Angered by the death of a titan by the hands of the elves, Ignan demanded the elementals also have a mortal presence in Archon and birthed the Reptillians # On the Birth of the Reptillians - [ ] The reptillians awaken in Surbat and claim the desert as their own - [ ] The first meeting of the elves and reptillians go quite amicable due to the elvish role as mediator in nature and they set up their borders and rules. - [ ] Fueled by the crafts of the elves, the reptillians started crafts of their own, mainly glassblowing. - [ ] Story of the damming of the Orana river # On the Arrival of the Dwarves - [ ] Following suite with Ignan, the other three primordials also set off to make their own mortal races - [ ] First to finish was Torkun, who shook the earth, from which the dwarves came forth. - [ ] The dwarves, grown in their rocky womb, longed for the caves and cold earth and settled into the tunnels beneath Mon Carn, carving their home of Duarcor. - [ ] In honour of their progenitor, they wanted to refine all that the earth offered and set out to purify the minerals found within the rock, but their smithing efforts required charcoal to fuel their forges. Unbeknownst to them, they cut down the awakened trees on the south-eastern side of Ellefeth. - [ ] Mourning the great loss of their family and friends, the elves swore vengeance upon the Dwarves who killed their trees. - [ ] The elves attacked the lumberers and a war of skirmishes broke out - [ ] Afraid the dwarves would surround them using the Olthath-mal-rawath, a group of elves broke off to make a permanent settlement in Frafoth. - [ ] Though angered by the elves, the dwarves were far behind in their technology and had to build up their forces before a prolonged war with the elves. Asking the reptillians as a parlay partner, the three races drew up new borderlines and ensured peace (for now). - [ ] Seeing the death of his brethren, Zenithas devotes himself to studying life and death, and how to avoid the latter. (story of the first Vampire) # On the Arrival of the Avians - [ ] Avians arrived in the western mountains and created a tribal area known as Quar'ra # On the Arrival of the Merfolk - [ ] The Merfolk appear in the oceans creating the country of Marelei. For a long time they remain undetected, resting as stories among fishermen. - [ ] Living quite uncontested, the merfolk quickly spread, creating an offshoot colony known as Ollunai. - [ ] The merfolk have trouble appeasing the storm and ocean titans. They create a ritualistic regime to keep these gargantuan forces at bay. - [ ] The Elves spread their colony of Frafoth to the eastern coast and found the great city of Etressi. - [ ] Ollunai being quite close to the coast, the people of Etressi confirm the existance of the Merfolk. - [ ] conflict arises between the people of Ollunai and Etressi due to fishing conflicts. (merfolk stuck in nets, confused for fish) - [ ] Tensions rise between the races on land and a war breaks out once again. This time between the Elves, Dwarves, and Reptillians respectively. The Avians try to remain out of the war, but small flocks do aid their reptillian brethren in their fight. - [ ] Seeing the war as an opportunity, the merfolk attack Etressi - [ ] The destruction of the war sparks a clade of monks to devout themselves to the telling of true history (sect of the Told in the name of Alher is created) - [ ] A group of elves, disagreeing with the way the elven clans are ruling, create a neutral citystate in the mountains called Holleth-Fann. - [ ] Bonifeth cannot stand the injustice on all sides of the races done in the great war, they create the Golliaths to act as judges and enforces to virtue in the world. - [ ] The Golliaths form the court of Isslan and methodically stop the war through various efforts. - [ ] The world of archon is scarred after the great war and needs to recover. - [ ] Holleth-Fann finds the orb of Zenithas and uses it to create a new school of powerful magic. However, this magic comes at a cost they do not yet know. As they open their borders and folk with lesser lifespans enter their city, they find out what it is and swears to stop the spread of its knowledge.
