Elves In Stregabor

*Before our time, our world was flourishing in nature, magic and mystery. The dominating kingdom of those times was Asbahamael, the kingdom of Magic.*

## Exitus

The Elves were a powerful race, keen on finding out the ways of magic, but not like most Maelans. They were interested in how magic and nature could work together, and even more interested in the connection of trees and the invisible strings connecting every tree. They call these connections "Reno Threads". King Lukie I, the then ruler of Asbahamael took notice of the Elves and their research when his men came across an observatory built by them. It was then that he made a decision.

> *"The Elves are too smart, I believe they are dangerous to the safety and secrecy of Asbahamael. I hereby declare Elves banned from Asbahamael for all eternity!"*

The Elves had discovered that using Reno Threads they could send information, and create a wide area which they could surveil, and King Lukie I believed this could impede on the secrecy of the monarchy. The Elves, upon being evicted, traveled to a new land which they named Aspria, though many refused being forced from their lands those whom lead small tribes to take refuge upon trees, mountains and other out of reach points, some even descending to live subterranean lifestyles.

## Life in Aspria

Aspria was the new hub of the Elves. They built an observatory, and they continued their research. Soon enough, they had constructed a network of Reno Threads, dubbed "*The Reno*". *The Reno* allowed them to know everything that was going on in Everthorn, apart from Asbahamael. Using their magic, they hid themselves in Aspria, and flourished. They watched as life grew and wars happened, and as kingdoms rose and fell.

Notably, they had helped a man called The Captain, in constructing a flying ship, named The Pilate.

They grew and grew, learning the ways of Stregabor as well as observing the happenings. They once built a temple, hidden in a forest near the East Point-Varendor road, but it was raided by the Vordians, the local citizens of the time.

As time passed, they witnessed the death of the rule of the Vordians and the rise of the new settlers (Called Röfthars). They witnessed the rise of King Pavel I, and his lineage. They hid in the forests, slowly enlarging their Reno Network across Stregabor and even past. One day, during one of His many surveys of the Empire, the new Emperor Jackson I discovered the Elves, but did not decide to do anything about them. Soon after, His Majesty disappeared, leaving his son Sniper in charge of the new Empire. Nothing was ever heard from him again.

## Emperor Jackson

It is said that the Emperor decided to take up a life of seclusion. He found solace in the natural life of the Elves, and many people rumour that he is still alive and well, living among the Elves, perhaps even looking at what is going on in Stregabor today. Nobody knows if He will make a return, but one thing is sure: Emperor Jackson, much like his ancestor King Jackson II (Same name, different characters in the story) redefined Stregabor as a nation, and his legacy shall live on.
