Departure of the Elves

The Departure of the Elves was a significant historical event marking the definitive end of the Old Empire in Venail. Emperor Aislin II initiated the policy so as to safeguard the his domestic power. Although it lasted for over two centuries, the last ships left the shores of Venail in 1 OA, which would later serve as the final year of the Old Age. Despite it being named after the Elves, the ruling species of the Empire, many Elves remained in Venail and the event only refers to the effective disappearance of the Zodiac Empire.
