Worldhistory

## In the land of the elves:

To understand the history of Saorsa, we need to talk first about the history of Ulvathas the continent of the elves. While the men and gnomes on Saorsa were fighting the dark lord, all was peaceful and prospherous on Ulvathas. Until one day an angel came down to the elven continent, he said that he was preparing to go to Saorsa to fight the dark lord. He stayed along the elves for a couple months, and became close with the elven princess, the sister of Cûthor and Elhaeldir. Those who were the children of the High elven king, Eithon. Eventually the time came for the angel to depart and he made his way to Saorsa.

A couple weeks after the angel departed, their sister was visibly pregnant. And at this time Cûthor heard an evil voice telling him it was the angel. This matter to him for he fell in love with his own sister, though he would keep that for himself. Cûthor fully convinced went to his father and brother and explained with all his reasoning, their father did not believe it but his brother Elhaeldir did. Cûthor went to the people and gave powerful speeches and swore aloud to bring the angel to justice.

> "Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, Breed of Evil or Divinity, Neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, Dread nor wound or danger, not Doom itself, Shall defend him from our justice! Hereby we declare war upon the divine!"
>

Fully driven by his words, the elves started to arm themselves and follow Cûthor and his brother Elhaeldir. They went to the harbour where their father Eithon has ordered the guards to stop the madness. The youngest brother Elhaeldir then tried to convince his brother to stop this, for they cannot go against the will of their father. Cûthir however fully driven by rage, led his followers to slaughter the guards and take the boats. Unrest was the law of the day, and the news spread, and more elves gathered to follow the brothers. Their father powerless, and shook by their actions let them go.

## The journey to Saorsa:

They then made the journey to Saorsa, arriving at the mouths of the great river which leads to the lake. Where they met the local humans, and stayed there for a while setting up camp near the human settlement. Getting all the news and information from the humans, the elves were ready to march.Though rumours spread among the elves that these human helped the angel when he arrived. So they did the only sensible thing to them, they sacked and fully slaughtered the human settlement.

The destruction and fire was so great it was seen through all of Saorsa. The dark lord smiling when hearing and seeing this, though he was busy with fighting the alliance of men. For at that time the free folk of Saorsa united under the angel and led a fierce resistance against the dark lord.

Cûthor meanwhile heard of a beautiful isle capital of the High kingdom of Men and sailed with his fleet and army to it. Where he liked the island so much, he destroyed and slaughtered the capital of Men and founded Thalor. When the Battle of Unknown Sorrows ended, the alliance of men lost, the angel imprisoned by the dark lord.

## Battle of Fury:

Hearing of this, finally knowing his location, the elves demanded the angel from the dark lord. The dark lord refused and the elves were so enraged they marched all the way to Asgarâ in only 2 days. Where they fought the dark lord and his legions, and what followed was the Battle of Fury which lasted 2 whole weeks. The dark lord eventually came out himself and fought along side his legions of uruks.

Elhaeldir fought the dark lord in a duel where he fought valiantly but got heavily wounded. When hearing the cry of his brother, Cûthor made his way to the dark lord. Seeing his brother bleeding out, he was at his peak of rage, and after a long battle slew the dark lord's physical body. At the end of the day a great dark cloud came out his corpse and flew away from Saorsa.

Cûthir in deep sorrow was finally relieved that atleast they have the angel, only to realize the dark lord released the angel the day before battle. No signs of either the dark lord nor the angel were seen after the battle.

## The aftermath:

So the depressed Cûthir returned to Thalor with his elves and is said to fully hide from the world and his duties for atleast 15 years. In this time the elven nobles who followed him, went with their supporters around the lake and isle and settled their own respective regions. Though still swearing fealty to Cûthir, and the realm of Felrius was born.

It is notable that during the time of elven expansion from the isle, the local humans were either slaughtered, enslaved or driven away from the lands to Northseaxe. Eventually Cûthir came out of his hiding, and picked up his duties ruling his realm. Though he yearns to return to Ulvathas to his sister.
