The Elvan Republic was a nation state that existed on the continent of Alutai. It was the largest grouping of the Hexarian race at the time, then known as Elvan. It was preceeded by the Elvan Empire, which was more strictly centralised. It was succeeded by the Hexarian Republic; the pre-colonial form of the Hexarian Star Republic; shortly after the exile of the Kvorn from Hexar.
