The Elven Empire was the first empire to form after the Ur-Daemon War. It consisted of the seven elven houses and their cities: Ta'Illistim, Ta'Nalfein, Ta'Faendryl, Ta'Vaalor, Ta'Ashrim, Ta'Ardenai, and Ta'Loenthra.

History of the Elven Empire

The Elven Empire declared themselves the protectors of the known world after the fall of the Drakes.

The Splitting of the Elven Empire

After the Undead War, the greatest house, the House of Faendryl was banished from the Elven Empire in -15,185 for their use of Demonic Summoning, effectively breaking it apart. The other Great Houses stop cooperating as they were and withdraw into themselves. Ta'Faendryl was abandoned, and a New Ta'Faendryl was built near Rhoska-Tor, the area where Despana's capital, Maelshyve, had stood.

The Dark Elf - Sea Elf War

It isn't until the Modern Era that it is known that they begin cooperating again. The Faendryl, however, destroy the city of Ta'Ashrim after the death of their princess, Chesylcha, in 157. The same magics used to defeat Despana in the Undead War were employed against the House of Ashrim's city, which strengthened the resentment of the Faendryl by the other elven houses. The Faendryl will never again be a part of the Elven Empire or the modern Elven Nations due to this event, and neither will the Ashrim due to their complete destruction. There are only five houses in the Elven Nations.
