Time Before Empires (South)

The world as we know it was only recent and the countries there are even newer, before they were unified under one banner and before all the lords rallied to one another the empires were broken and split into hundreds of different nations ruled by thousands of different lords with no one to answer to nothing to judge them but cold steel and a sharpened blade.

The lords were much alike and fought among themselves foolish and selfish, same with the elves all trying to take the cede of power for themselves. In this time of war and turmoil heros of the old age rose to power and they changed the course of history as we know it, weapons forged by all races in the greatest forges made by the greatest smiths seen by all, Mithril weapons and armour with Valerian Steel, gems seen by none before and a will and power that shook the very earth.

Although different types of elves inhabited the lands mainly Wood Elves and High Elves were found in the south, their counterparts such as the Dark elves and Dwemer (Elves that live underground like Dwarves) are found in regions north of these lands and tend not to come down before the great empires that shaped the world were formed. The famous lexicons and vast libraries of the Dwemer were unheard of until the Ithilien Empire brought news of the great wonders built by the Dwemer, Dark elves to southerners were only a myth until the War of Two as the Ebonheart nations brought Dark elf mercenaries to fight the High elves.
