Eyllistlarn

History
Eyllistlarn, the once beautiful capital of Incantre, has been through war after war. It still stands but it is not the same as it once was. Once the home of only humans and ruled by their king, it became shelter to all survivors of the Draconic Encroachment.

When the dragons turned their attention upon Eyllistlarn, all races join together to fight their attempts at genocide. For a short time after the dragons were repelled, the races lived together in relative peace. That peace was shattered, however, by diminished resources; food and building materials were in short supply. The city itself began to fall in ruins.

The lack of resources and food raised racial tensions among the once peaceful survivors and they turned upon each other. Riots were seen daily. Cutthroats and thieves ruled the streets at night. No one was safe out of doors alone. Men were pulled into military service to keep the peace, or to attempt to. Most fell corrupt and only looked after themselves, making the city an even more dangerous place. Most of the inhabitants fled, leaving the humans and elves to battle amongst themselves.

It took one man, a King nicknamed the Lion, to bring order to the city once more. Through blood and violence he made Eyllistlarn safe. It was many more years before prosperity returned to the city.

At the Lion’s death, his son Mathus donned the crown of Eyllistlarn. Mathus was a good man, and was a good king in his own right for many years - until the elves came to him. The tensions among their two races had gone on too long. In order to prevent another war, the elves proposed a way to unite their people: Mathus would take an elven Queen. Their choice was Korsha Sel’Avara, a young Vesorian princess, from the royal family of the now vanished home city of the elves. Mathus saw the wisdom in their proposal, knowing the cost of peace as well as his need for an heir. He agreed to the proposal and he wed Korsha soon after.

Their marriage lasted for fifty years, until the human passed beyond the veil of life in the year 1028 FE. A few short months later, the queen disappeared in the midst of a series of natural disasters which left the land in chaos. A great number of people throughout the land died. An elven family whose heritage linked them to the throne returned to Eyllistlarn, and now the Elashta'Shiri siblings attempt to hold their rule.
