Kingdom of Cel'raai

The high elven Kingdom of Cel'raai is located on the westward side of the continent, rich in natural resources and magic.

Once grand and independent, this kingdom of High Elves has fallen under the reign of Ravenguard Empire after being weakened by numerous wars and the contamination of the Sin of Pride's influence.

History
The elven kingdom suffered greatly after The Shattering. The elves rebuilt in solitude, taking refuge in the large forests of Cel’raai. During this time, an elven king became the host to the Sin of Pride and exiled the drow from Cel’raai. With the Sin of Pride’s power, the elven king used his own body and essence to create the great tree in which the elven capital city was built around and named after as a symbol of the elves’ power and status in the realm.

Years later, a dragon emperor threatened their livelihood. With the help of orcs and tribes that later united to become Jadeblade Empire, the dragon emperor was defeated. The elves and orcs knew peace until an Overlord came into power that threatened to conquer the elven kingdom. To avoid war, Cel’raai entered into a treaty with Jadeblade which allowed Overlords to pick a single elven maiden to be their bride. This treaty stood for years until an elven king came into power who refused to hand over his daughter to the Overlord at the time: Overlord Kyojin.

It was decided that the two kingdoms would attempt to settle their disputes by having their rulers duel one another. Even when the elven king died at the hands of Overlord Kyojin, the elves still refused to uphold the treaty which led the elven kingdom and orc empire into war. The elves, however, were not prepared to contend with Jadeblade’s strength.

In desperation, the elven princess reached out to Blacktalon Kingdom for aid. With Blacktalon’s assistance, they pushed back the Jadeblade forces. Cel’raai and Blacktalon created the Aegis Alliance. Together, they entered into a war against the Bloodmoon Alliance of Jadeblade and Ravenguard Empire.

Cel’raai was allied with Blacktlon for about a year. In that time, Cel’raai was involved in the defense of the realm against the World Eater before it experienced another civil war instigated by Thorail, one of the royal family members, who usurped the Elven Queen. Thorail ordered mass genocide of all half-elves and Aran Orn became the epicenter of what was akin to the holocaust.

Civil war broke out. Ultimately, Thorail was killed and his reign ceased. Ravenguard Empire took advantage of Cel’raai’s weakened state and sent its armies to the capital. Cel’raai was forced to surrender itself when Blacktalon refused to come to its aid. Cel’raai became a vassal to Ravenguard Empire. Kaori Battler from Ravenguard was placed as Governor of Cel’raai. Cel’raai is currently still a vassal to Ravenguard Empire.
