## History

Elidia dates back to the time of Artorius Mordred and his conquest of Odianica. It was the region of Elidia that was Mordred's homeland and where his campaign started. As such, he build his capital city, Artoianople in Elidia. After his banishment into Hell and the conclusion of the Twilight Wars, the Elidians destroyed the city of Artorianople and with the help of the Skavians like the other human capitals of Odianica, built a new capital city, Arcealus.

After experiencing the tyranny of Modred first hand, the new Elidian king promised that he and his predecessors would be merciful, treat people of all races with equality and above all, be a symbol of justice in hopes that all the human nations follow. However, Elidia is often not taken seriously due to their optimistic ideals. More respect was lost from Elidia when they called back their settlers from Aiwrin when conflict with the natives started. Elidia is one of the weaker nations militarily and does not have much influence since they did not take part in colonialism

To this day, Elidia has been accused of kidnapping the youngest daughter of the Driamossan royal family, Princess Kaliyah Vealron and war has been declared between Elidia and Driamos for it.
