The Elven Duchies

The Elven Duchies were always considered 'barbaric' by Eidelko, their long term neighbour. However, upon closer examination, they may just be more advanced than Eidelko, the so-called "beacon of civilisation". Over many years the three Duchies of the elves have changed hands and dynasties. However, the first unifying force of these Duchies with one another was a incursion made by the Eidelkan empire, the first of many to come.

Facing utter destruction, the three Duchies banded together and began unifying the military with support from what would become the globally dominant pantheon, the Unending temple.

Despite a brutal twenty year war during the first invasion, the elven guerrilla tactics sent home a fed up Eidelkan army with shocking ferocity.

Following this, the Duchies would fall back to infighting, yet would always return to a unified stance when faced with an outside threat.

However, by the thirteenth Eidelkan invasion, the Elves Duchies would finally falter and be conquered. Despite this, the Eidelkan empire would only hold the Elven Duchies for a mere ten years, resulting in the Duchies remaining fiercely independent forever more.
