Elder Realm

**The Elder Realm**, The Realm of Lords, is the seventh main realm in the Septisegyai, preceded by the Hollow Realm. As one of the Seven Great Realms, the Elder Realm is built on a hierarchical system and ruled by a monarch and royal family. The Elder Realm has had three sets of monarchs with the current monarch being Queen Shuraya Lazan.

## Background

Being created at around the same time as the other realms of the Septisegyai, the Elder Realm has been around for millennia. However, the realm has only had two sets of monarchs and three in total, those being King Zurail and Queen Kyanis with their only daughter, Queen Shuraya as the current monarch.

Standard Eldite clothing has gaps in the upper parts of the wearer's shirt, showing off the wearer's shoulders and or biceps. The tops or bottoms will usually have shapely designs, including simple two-dimensional shapes such as squares, diamonds, ovals, or circles. Eldite outfits commonly have things draping from the wearer's waistline or belt as well.

## History

### Founding

The Elder Realm was founded along with the other seven main realms of the Septisegyai. From its founding, the Elder Realm was bursting with intense elemental energy, accompanied with its extreme climates and atmospheric variances throughout the entire realm. The first king of the Elder Realm aimed to harness this elemental energy and integrate it into the very being of the realm, society, and structure to how the realm works.

### Nightmarian Conquest Era

The Elder Realm largely remained detached from the conflict of the other realms during the beginning of the war that the Nightmare Realm waged on the Septisegyai. Nonetheless, the citizens of the Elder Realm quickly formulated the opinion and belief that if the Nightmarian's bloodlust and desire for power ran as deep as it seemed, then perhaps they needed to be destroyed in order to keep the Septisegyai safe. As the Nightmare Realm continued its war against the other realms and began to claim more and more of the realms, the Elder Realm neared it's decision to finally join the war. As one of the last three realms outside of the Nightmare Realm's grasp, Queen Shuraya intended to attempt to ally the realm with the Shadow Realm and Earth Realm in order to fight against the bloodthirsty virus of the Nightmarian army.

## Topography

The land Elder Realm is divided into 5 main quadrants, one in the center and the remaining four surrounding the center quadrant. Each of the four surrounding quadrants are based on one of the four main elements of water, fire, earth, and air, taking up the northwestern, northeastern, southwestern and southeastern sections of the land, respectively. From the epicenter in the Elemental Hall where the four surrounding quadrants originate, the further outward from the epicenter, the element of any given quadrant grows increasingly intense.
