The Empire of the Elves, or the Elven Empire, otherwise known as the Alvyri Vandryl by the Elves, was the largest empire in the history of Esria. Initial settlements of the civilisation were founded in -670 D.E, and grew to span the entirety of the Arcadian archipelago at the height of its reign. Made up of multiple kingdoms swearing fealty to a centralised authority, many old ruins could be found within the territories it once ruled. From the murals and scriptures left inside of these structures, scholars of the Common Era were able to decipher and understand life as it was before the fall of the Empire in 381 A.E.
