Hell Eldrim

The Hell Eldrim, or, in English, Frost Elves, were a conglomerate faction composed mostly of Elves which resided in Forodwaith. Its capital, Ondosto Heleg, lied to the far North of Angmar.

## History

The Hell Eldrim were formed when a group of disenfranchised wanderers grew tired of their homes. They chose to establish the Frost Elves, selected Dunker220 and Hexidecimark as their leaders, and built the mighty city of Ondosto. Territorial conflicts broke out between Angmar and the Hell Eldrim, and in response the Hell Eldrim launched a devestating guerrilla assault that brought angmar to the brink of collapse. The entire server rallied to Angmar's defense and formed the Coalition of the Races, but a network of spies and Ondosto's defenses allowed them to stave off the assault and sign a treaty with Angmar.

Despite withstanding the Coalition of the Races, the Hell-Eldrim would struggle with inactivity and collapse in late 2017.

Once seven real days have passed, if the member remains in good standing, they are to be given the title of Citizen. Until this time, they are peasants.
