The Elven kingdom that existed alongside humans in the kingdom of Elswick 300 years ago was known as Sylvanor. This Kingdom spanned across what is now called the Blackwood Forest, it was a realm of enchanting beauty and mystique. Its true name, whispered only among the elves themselves, was Aranthor, meaning “Realm of the Evergreen” in the ancient elvish tongue.
The elves of Sylvanor played a significant role in the creation and prosperity of the magical city of Eldria. Their mastery of arcane arts, deep connection with nature, and exquisite craftsmanship contributed to the city’s grandeur and enchantment. Together with their human counterparts, they crafted a harmonious alliance, bridging the gap between the two races.
However, with the gradual fading of magic from the lands following the death of the king, the elves of Sylvanor began to wane as well. Some chose to depart from Elswick, seeking lands where the remnants of their fading magic might still flourish. Those who remained faced a gradual decline, their once vibrant and powerful essence diminishing over time.
Today, the presence of the ancient elven kingdom is scarcely seen within the human lands. The few remaining elves are often of mixed blood, their magic diluted by the passing generations. They serve as a reminder of a glorious past, but their diminished stature leaves them as shadows of their former selves, blending into the tapestry of human society while their true heritage slowly fades into legend.
