## Religion:

Eol’s kingdom has a lot more religious freedom then his lawful cousins, though many still follow the traditional elven faith. Others follow local religions such as the Sandwhispers of Edessa or the Aonanisum of their Drana kinsfolk.

As a kingdom founded by criminals and exiles, it also has a fair few death cults and demon worshipers, though those practices were made illegal.

## History:

The kingdom has its origins in Eldarmar, where King Erastor, due to large losses of elven population during the Cataclysm, introduced the Law of Sacred Blood. This way, the island kingdom lost the ability to execute its criminals, and instead exiled them to the Dreadlands on the west. Population grew with every violent crime and the land soon became a pit of crime and villainy. This all changed after Eol Youngshadow was exiled by his brother Elgmoth Middlim. Self-proclaimed King united the exiles and criminal bands, bringing order and law to the new realm, and went to a war with his brother. They met several times in a series of conflicts known as the Elf Wars.

Kingdom is also known for its harsh laws, however, they are needed to at least try to tame the realms unruly population.

## Dynasties:

House of Youngshadow: House founded by Eol. So far, it consists of only Eol and his sister Palúre.

## Notable Kings:

Eol Youngshadow: First and so far the only King. He founded the realm, and laid down its laws. He is considered by his people to be a fairly good ruler, swift with justice and ruthless with punishments.

## Notable Citizens:

Vhid Sunduiri: Dragon who took elven form and reclaimed Moongate in the name of Eol. She was named its overlord afterwards.

Harnaryo Cunyadaen: Competent smith and Dreadlord of Dunduerdol, City of Smiths.

* They were made to be a dark elf kingdom without the Chaotic Evil stereotype, a nation that does evil out of necessity and survival, not for cruel pleasure.
