== Welcome To The Elven Empire ==<br />
Welcome to the Elven Empire Wiki Page! The Elven Empire was founded by Her Majesty, Queen [[Reptaria]].Followed by the founding of the Dark Elves by King [[Hades]] The Elven Empire is the second largest player group Pirate Craft. As the Empire's lore, history and laws are so rich and extensive, it is a simply impossible task to express them all on one page, and as such, this page notates the ingame history and laws of this nuanced crew. [[Elven_Portal_Page|This page]] is a portal page to all other Elven Empire wiki pages.<br />
<br />
==The Elven Laws==<br />
<br />
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br />
===Article I- Recruitment===<br />
New Elves are recruited by any leader, but particularly by the Recruiters. They are then given the rank of Elven Citizen, and, if not already in possession of a home, are given one in one of the elven cities, as the recruiter sees fit. Players can also join via the Recruitment Notice, and are also given a home in the Palace if they wish for one. The Empire will not recruit former criminals of the Empire, and those put on the blacklist by the King, or the Commonwealth of Nations, unless there are special circumstances.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Article II- Ranks and Organization===<br />
The Empire is divided into four branches, the Government, the Military, the Civil, and the Citizens. An elf’s colour of rank can indicate their branch:<br />

<br />
*Blue for Citizens<br />
<br />

== History ==<br />
The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born. The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew. Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders. Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more. Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British. As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home. Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless. From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous. The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms. While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens. In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event. After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
<br />

<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all. As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations. Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before. Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend. About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks. Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire. As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people. Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]] Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
"It wouldn't be an Elven gathering without a betrayal, and Java killing everyone."-Lord Vanther<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, her majesty The Queen has returned back to the Elven Empire after receiving word things at home were growing progressively worse day by day. Once she returned she quickly restored order back into the empire, handed back over the right to rule as queen. Now rises a new castle in the Elven Empire, Lethuina. This is house of the Queen herself, the castle is placed on the highest hill in the rocky realm, once the castle is complete and with the queen finally getting herself back to a stable state, from there she will make another city which would be an update remodeled evermoor and the first city in the empire to NOT have walls.The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />

== History ==<br />
The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born. The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew. Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders. Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more. Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British. As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home. Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless. From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous. The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms. While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens. In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event. After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
<br />

<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all. As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations. Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before. Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend. About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks. Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire. As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people. Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]] Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
"It wouldn't be an Elven gathering without a betrayal, and Java killing everyone."-Lord Vanther<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, her majesty The Queen has returned back to the Elven Empire after receiving word things at home were growing progressively worse day by day. Once she returned she quickly restored order back into the empire, handed back over the right to rule as queen. Now rises a new castle in the Elven Empire, Lethuina. This is house of the Queen herself, the castle is placed on the highest hill in the rocky realm, once the castle is complete and with the queen finally getting herself back to a stable state, from there she will make another city which would be an update remodeled evermoor and the first city in the empire to NOT have walls.The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />

== History ==<br />
The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born. The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew. Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders. Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more. Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British. As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home. Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless. From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous. The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms. While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens. In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event. After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
<br />

<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all. As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations. Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before. Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend. About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks. Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire. As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people. Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />

<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]] Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
"It wouldn't be an Elven gathering without a betrayal, and Java killing everyone."-Lord Vanther<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, her majesty The Queen has returned back to the Elven Empire after receiving word things at home were growing progressively worse day by day. Once she returned she quickly restored order back into the empire, handed back over the right to rule as queen. Now rises a new castle in the Elven Empire, Lethuina. This is house of the Queen herself, the castle is placed on the highest hill in the rocky realm, once the castle is complete and with the queen finally getting herself back to a stable state, from there she will make another city which would be an update remodeled evermoor and the first city in the empire to NOT have walls.The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />

Welcome to the Elven Empire Wiki Page! The Elven Empire was founded by Her Majesty, Queen [[Reptaria]].Followed by the founding of the Dark Elves by King [[Hades]] The Elven Empire is the second largest player group Pirate Craft. As the Empire's lore, history and laws are so rich and extensive, it is a simply impossible task to express them all on one page, and as such, this page notates the ingame history and laws of this nuanced crew.

<br />

== History ==<br />
The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born. The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew. Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders. Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more. Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British. As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home. Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless. From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous. The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms. While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens. In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event. After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
<br />

<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all. As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations. Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before. Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend. About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks. Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire. As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people. Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />

<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]] Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
"It wouldn't be an Elven gathering without a betrayal, and Java killing everyone."-Lord Vanther<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, her majesty The Queen has returned back to the Elven Empire after receiving word things at home were growing progressively worse day by day. Once she returned she quickly restored order back into the empire, handed back over the right to rule as queen. Now rises a new castle in the Elven Empire, Lethuina. This is house of the Queen herself, the castle is placed on the highest hill in the rocky realm, once the castle is complete and with the queen finally getting herself back to a stable state, from there she will make another city which would be an update remodeled evermoor and the first city in the empire to NOT have walls.The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />

<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />

<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />

===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />

The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied.

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />

<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />

<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />

As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />

The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied.

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />

<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />

<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />

<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />

<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />

==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />

As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />

<br />
===Rise of Avalor===<br />
Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />
==New Age==<br />
<br />
===Rise of Avalor===<br />
Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />
<br />
<br />
There is much more to learn but as the elven experience goes you will learn.<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />
==New Age==<br />
<br />
===Rise of Avalor===<br />
Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />
<br />
<br />
There is much more to learn but as the elven experience goes you will learn.<br />

<div>Tirion is a peaceful city in the southern reaches of the map. The first buildings were constructed in late December 2016 by [[Alexk5]] and [[Iridus]] and were a small hut and tower. Since then, Tirion has constantly been expanding and housing new recruits of the [[Elven Empire]].<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
<br />
The settlement was founded when the already mentioned players landed there by sailing on their raft. Aspiring cadets, they built their first farm and storage house and soon after created their crew, which sadly didn't last long. Close to those, a tower was erected to provide housing and protection. Soon after, [[Iridus]] built his cellar and started working on brews with some help from [[Lord_Vanther]].<br />
<br />
When Tirion joined the [[Elves]] together with all its inhabitants, the most important phase of its construction began: constructing of the main citadel. In a few weeks, walls were built and within those walls a few houses and a palace. Around the city, a small village started appearing as new recruits built their houses. Quite recently, a villager breeder and iron farm were added and so, Tirion is growing ever richer.</div>Iridushttps://wiki.piratemc.com/index.php?title=Tirion&diff=2493Tirion2017-04-20T12:51:04Z<p>Iridus: Created page with "{| style="width:300px; border:1px solid black; float:right; background-color:#F5F5F5; padding:10px" {{!}}- {{!}} colspan="2" style="text-align:center; border:1px #DCDCDC; back..."</p>

<br />
<br />
===Article II- Ranks and Organization===<br />

Green for the Civil Branch<br />
Blue for Citizens<br />
<br />
'''The Government Branch'''<br />

<br />
*''The Archchancellor''– A position now held by Lord_Vanther, he is the monarch's deputy and may wield his power in his absence. He is also the head of all brewers in the crew. <br />

<br />
*''Ambassadors''-they are in charge of relations with other crews. Each ambassador is delegated to a single crew.

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />

The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />

Evermoor is home to thousands of elves and is protected by a moat and a standing war fleet in her harbor along side the entire elven military. If Evermoor ever was to fall, it would be the death and permenant extinction to the entire elven race as it holds the main source of power which drives us all.

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />

Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland.

<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />

Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />

Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV.

In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />

<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />

Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />

The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />

The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />

The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />

==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services.

The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />

As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />

==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />

By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br />
<br />
<br />
===Article I- Recruitment===<br />
New Elves are recruited by any leader, but particularly by the Recruiters, such as [[TheMineToad]]. They are then given the rank of Elven Citizen, and, if not already in possession of a home, are given one in the Gondolin Palace, on the second floor. Players can also join via the Recruitment Notice, and are also given a home in the Palace if they wish for one. The Empire will not recruit former criminals of the Empire, and those put on the blacklist by the Queen, or the Commonwealth of Nations, unless there are special circumstances.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Article II- Ranks and Organisation===<br />
The Empire is divided into four branches, the Government, the Military, the Civil, and the Citizens. An elf’s colour of rank can indicate their branch.<br />
Purple for the Government<br />
Yellow for the Army<br />
Orange for the Navy<br />
Green for the Civil Branch<br />
Blue for Citizens<br />
<br />
'''The Government Branch'''<br />
<br />
*''The Queen''-she has supreme power within the empire and is able to recruit, create and end alliances and rivalries and also command all elven members to do her bidding.<br />
<br />
*''The King''-he’s equal to the queen and holds the same powers as his wife.<br />
<br />
*''The Archchancellor''– he is the monarchs’ deputy and may wield their power in their absence. He is also the head of all brewers in the crew.<br />
<br />
*''Princes&Princesses''– they may act using the sovereign’s authority and are equal in powers with them.<br />
<br />
*''Royal advisors''– the personal advisor to the Queen or King informing them on all actions and acting as a parent figure in a sense but understands the respect and boundries to the crown.The Royal Advisor has a permanent rank.<br />
<br />
*''Head of the guard''– they are in charge of equipping the army and organizing it. In times of war, they are also the supreme commander of the ground armed forces, being superior to the generals of both The Royal Guard and The Eternal Guard and responsible for coordinating actions which involve both of these army branches.<br />
<br />
*''Ambassadors''-they are in charge of relations with other crews. Each ambassador is delegated to a single crew. Every ambassador has full power to negotiate with the crew he is delegated to, but with no other. Ambassadors do not have leader permissions.<br />
<br />
*''Head ambassador''– he leads the ambassador core and may engage in negotiations with any foreign crew. He is responsible for the activity of all ambassadors and is the one who makes everything negotiated by ambassadors official (actually creates the alliance or rivalry).<br />
<br />
*''Lord of the Law''– he is responsible for creating laws and revising the elven charter after consulting his fellow members. He is also responsible for enforcing the laws of the crew by organizing trials for people suspected of breaking the law.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Aristocracy'''-WIP(not in effect)<br />

-Viscount, (f) Viscountess<br />
<br />
-Earl, (f) Countess<br />
<br />
-Duke, (f) Duchess<br />
<br />
-Royalty<br />
<br />
N.B. All of the above titles excluding Duke may be referred to as "my lord", and can also use the incognito title lord (for example, the Viscount of Valaria could call himself Lord of Valaria, as well as eliminating the "of" if preferred, to become "The Viscount Valaria"). However it is proper to address a Duke or Duchess as "your Grace". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Military Branch'''<br />
<br />
*The military branch provides protection to all elven citizens and is tasked with enforcing the interests of the Empire during armed conflicts.

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />
==New Age==<br />
<br />
===Rise of Avalor===<br />
Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />

<br />
N.B. All of the above titles excluding Duke may be referred to as "my lord", and can also use the incognito title lord (for example, the Viscount of Valaria could call himself Lord of Valaria, as well as eliminating the "of" if preferred, to become "The Viscount Valaria"). However it is proper to address a Duke or Duchess as "your Grace". <br />
<br />

== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />
==New Age==<br />
<br />
===Rise of Avalor===<br />
Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />
==New Age==<br />
<br />
===Rise of Avalor===<br />
Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />

Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />

<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />

Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />

Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />

Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />

<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />

Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />

As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
== Adoption of the Grand Admiral ==<br />
A young human naval officer cadet, SnapCrackPlays, was taken in by the Queen as a naval Lieutenant and quickly worked his way up to Grand Admiral, at which time he was made Lord and later Earl of Castlereagh.<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />

<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />

==The Elven Charter==<br />
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br />
<br />
<br />
===Article I- Recruitment===<br />
New Elves are recruited by any leader, but particularly by the Recruiters, such as [[TheMineToad]]. They are then given the rank of Elven Citizen, and, if not already in possession of a home, are given one in the Gondolin Palace, on the second floor. Players can also join via the Recruitment Notice, and are also given a home in the Palace if they wish for one. The Empire will not recruit former criminals of the Empire, and those put on the blacklist by the Queen, or the Commonwealth of Nations, unless there are special circumstances.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Article II- Ranks and Organisation===<br />
The Empire is divided into four branches, the Government, the Military, the Civil, and the Citizens. An elf’s colour of rank can indicate their branch.<br />
Purple for the Government<br />
Yellow for the Army<br />
Orange for the Navy<br />
Green for the Civil Branch<br />
Blue for Citizens<br />
<br />
'''The Government Branch'''<br />
<br />
*''The Queen''-she has supreme power within the empire and is able to recruit, create and end alliances and rivalries and also command all elven members to do her bidding.<br />
<br />
*''The King''-he’s equal to the queen and holds the same powers as his wife.<br />
<br />
*''The Archchancellor''– he is the monarchs’ deputy and may wield their power in their absence. He is also the head of all brewers in the crew.<br />
<br />
*''Princes&Princesses''– they may act using the sovereign’s authority and are equal in powers with them.<br />
<br />
*''Royal advisors''– the personal advisor to the Queen or King informing them on all actions and acting as a parent figure in a sense but understands the respect and boundries to the crown.The Royal Advisor has a permanent rank.<br />
<br />
*''Head of the guard''– they are in charge of equipping the army and organizing it. In times of war, they are also the supreme commander of the ground armed forces, being superior to the generals of both The Royal Guard and The Eternal Guard and responsible for coordinating actions which involve both of these army branches.<br />
*'Grand Admiral''– they are in charge of naval base construction, managing the fleet (overseeing the building and maintaining of ships) and they are also the supreme commander of the navy in times of war.<br />
<br />
*''Ambassadors''-they are in charge of relations with other crews. Each ambassador is delegated to a single crew. Every ambassador has full power to negotiate with the crew he is delegated to, but with no other. Ambassadors do not have leader permissions.<br />
<br />
*''Head ambassador''– he leads the ambassador core and may engage in negotiations with any foreign crew. He is responsible for the activity of all ambassadors and is the one who makes everything negotiated by ambassadors official (actually creates the alliance or rivalry).<br />
<br />
*''Lord of the Law''– he is responsible for creating laws and revising the elven charter after consulting his fellow members. He is also responsible for enforcing the laws of the crew by organizing trials for people suspected of breaking the law.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Aristocracy'''<br />
<br />
*The Elven Empire is a monarchy, and as such it has a dedicated upper class of aristocrats. There are various titles, and the following illustrate the various Aristocracy titles from least important to most important:<br />
<br />
-Baron, (f) Baroness<br />
<br />
-Viscount, (f) Viscountess<br />
<br />
-Earl, (f) Countess<br />
<br />
-Duke, (f) Duchess<br />
<br />
-Royalty<br />
<br />
N.B. All of the above titles excluding Duke may be referred to as "my lord", and can also use the incognito title lord (for example, the Viscount of Valaria could call himself Lord of Valaria, as well as eliminating the "of" if preferred, to become "The Viscount Valaria"). However it is proper to address a Duke or Duchess as "your Grace". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Military Branch'''<br />
<br />
*''The Royal Guard'' is an elite force, the personal guard of King Lithvather and Queen Reptaria. They answer to the Crown first and their General second, and carry out the orders of the Monarchs. They are for the protection of the King and Queen instead of the Empire as a whole. It will typically will be a far smaller organisation than the Eternal Guard. Their General is second to only the monarchs themselves and the Head of Guard in the respects of command of the Royals, and the Royals answer to him before any other figure that is not a monarch.The general of the Royal Guard may appoint officers of this branch aa he sees fit. The current General is Bullk5.<br />
<br />
*''The Eternal Guard'' protects the entirety of the Empire, and will respond to attacks on all settlements, instead of just Gondolin. They are obliged to help any Elf that asks for aid, and can be commanded by any leader or captain. It is a much larger outfit than the Royals, but similar to the Royals, their General’s orders can only be overruled by the Monarchs and the Head of Guard. The General can appoint Officers of the Eternals, as he/she wishes. A new general is needed. They also may be known as Elven Soldiers.<br />
<br />

<br />
*''The Naval Fleet'' is the Elven Navy, those who the Elves turn to on all situations involving marine warfare, whether they be friendly ship battles, or rival encounters. As of the moment, they are lead by Grand Admiral Earl SnapCrackPlays, and are building up a Fleet, working closely with the Elven Engineers and Elven Suppliers. <br />
*The backbone of the navy is represented by Elven Sailors and Boatswains who are led by the ''Navy Officer Core'' composed of: Lieutenants, Commanders, Captains, Commodores, and Rear, Vice and Full Admirals, in order of power starting with the lowest in command.<br />
<br />
*''The Intelligence Office'' is tasked with recording events on the wiki, keeping all members up to date via the website, and learning current news. They also are charged with keeping crime non existent within the empire, by reporting all crime to _Iridus_ and the Eternal Guard. They are recruiting, and looking for members.<br />
<br />
'''The Civil Branch'''<br />
<br />

<br />
== Birth Of A Race ==<br />
''The Elven Empire has been around for generations, and for more to come. The elves are led by the daughter of Galalexandrea and Enrold making their first born child, [[Reptaria]]. She was the pure starlight of the evening sky, and the valor of a great white steed. Later to rule along side her was King [[Lithvather,]] a blacksmith assistant in a small town when she was a child. As this young lady began to grow she knew in her mind that she would be the Queen of an empire one day. As the oldest of her brothers and sisters she knew everyone would soon look to her. The Elven Empire was born.<br />
<br />
== Cornola ==<br />
The Kingdom of Cornola was a once thriving city and it was there where the queen first started to rule. She has yet to become as powerful as the British, but, she knew one day she would make her people known throughout all the land. Cornola was located north of [[skymanjay]] shop, surrounded by mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
===Imports And Trade===<br />
The city had thriving imports and exports until the day they were raided by pirates. There was a noble man in the midst of the elves, he is now known as [[zoroax999]]. He helped and guided knowledge to the elves after soon taking departure off to his own path in the world.<br />
<br />
===The Empty Void===<br />
One generation came until the city of Cornola was set into flames and raided by [[athenmos12]] and [[Unic0rnjunk101]] the small population of elves had to abandon the home they once had to search for a new home.<br />
<br />
== Fort Charles ==<br />
The elves had found the ground where Evermoor will be, and made a settlement around it named Fort Charles. Fort Charles thrived there for 2 generations, and started to slowly grow. The elves were never known until they started to join the alliance of TUPE. This alliance was between Reptaria and Uni to keep the elves at peace with him and his crew.<br />
<br />
== Evermoor ==<br />
Evermoor was the biggest city in all of Pirate Craft, and the elves began to thrive and grow in massive numbers; making it a city. The British and Elves began to have friendly communications and the TUPE alliance was holding strong. The city caused a world wide attraction to it but the government of the elves did not want to turn the city into a tourist attraction spot so they locked off the city to begin a militia, and started their very first borders.<br />
<br />
===Tension===<br />
Generations went by and the cities numbers began to grow and other elves began to forge settlements on unknown lands to start other towns. The Queen, along with her royal advisers and other government members, publicly announced the elves will become an empire. This started the Elven Empire. Soon the empire began to grow more, and more, and more.<br />
<br />
Good military commanders and government members soon began to leave to go their own ways in the world. Good people like [[Dr_Solid]] and [[KarimNaba]]<br />
<br />
Time started to go by and British citizens and ect. started to spread further out and the elves did not like how close they were getting to their lands. Border conflicts, and small military engagements started to become frequent, and both empires began to grow a small hostility to one another.<br />
<br />
Generations flew past, and the TUPE alliance had formally declared war on the British Empire knowing that the elves did not like the British at the time. They did not hesitate to accept the TUPE alliance call for help to go to war with the British.<br />
<br />
===War===<br />
As war broke out Evermoor became a prime target to the British and small citizens started to commit treason. The day Evermoor was bombed was a day to remember, [[Silverstone]] a elvish citizen betrayed the elves and sneaked in British troops by surprise. They sneaked passed armed guards, and military battalions ready to give their all for the city they called home.<br />
<br />
===First Shots===<br />
Moments went by when the first shots in the city went off and it created mass chaos with innocent elves dying. In the midst of battle, the queen had no choice but to call out a cry for help to all elvish cities nearby. That is where [[Reptaria]] and [[Lithvather]] we're reunited and fought off the British side by side along with other guards, armed citizens, and soldiers. [[KarimNaba]] the princess had came to aid the elves and help fight off the British armies. <br />
<br />
Cannon fire roared through the city killing thousands of elves and the battle came to a sudden stop, all the men in the cannon bunker were killed and turn of events happened. [[Dorkito101]] , [[Crabriel]] , [[Locknload]] had fired the cannons along with other British men. The battle came to a stop and the war had ended that day. <br />
<br />
===Peace===<br />
War raged from Karjat all the way to Evermoor, but on that day all in the city stopped fighting and ran to help the innocent, the elves had proclaimed Lithvather King and again, the Elves became homeless.<br />
<br />
From that day forth the Elves and British made a vow never to go to war again; for the reason that we would cause to much damage to everyone and that we can do better working together rather than fighting.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction ==<br />
===Exploration===<br />
After the war the elves had fled to the dark oak forest and there lied a great ranger who lived and owned that land. [[CallieMav]] helped the elves build [[Mirkwood]] and make a new Elven Capitol. King [[Lithvather]] was overthrown after wide-spread riots and violence. Later to come, the Elves held a fast election and [[Saraphim7]] was now the King of the Elves for a short period of time. He had left the elves for the reason he needed to pay attention to his port market town and later joined the British as chief of police. [[Lathvather]] was offered a second chance to rule and since then the empire had been prosperous.<br />
<br />
===Borders===<br />
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.<br />
<br />
== World War ==<br />
===Chaos===<br />
While the transitions with the elves happened a pirate arose to soon become the worst pirate warlord in all of time [[hardtimez]] . He declared war on the British empire for no reason and waged all out war with all who stood in his way. When the elves got word a world war broke out they had to quickly end there friendship with the outlaws and fight with the British for an all out bloodshed.<br />
[[File:20131222223952a0dnx8qnka7feroh.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
===Warlords And Dictators===<br />
As war grew on HardTimez has been attacking newmourous cities and towns and pirate crews. The warlord has a piratecrew named the [[outlaws]] and they are allied to [[red lotus]] who withdrew from the world war and the outlaws strength weakens.<br />
<br />
==Ban Hammer==<br />
In the early morning in late July the warlord hardtimez has been banned! All began to celebrate in the streets after this amazing surprising event.<br />
===War Rages On===<br />
After the banishment of the worlds most hated dictator the outlaws fled and all battle lines and defences fell to the might of the Elven forces to the east and British to the north. In the weeks following the outlaws disbanded and retreated to the [[Lotus Empire]]. The queen and king of the elves fought on and attacked the lotus empire. <br />
War raged on for 4 weeks until the 3 nations of British, Elvish, and Lotus made a treaty to not fight each other and all nations are at peace.<br />
[[File:6ab1b85481211055f9295e1552727abf.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
==Ottoman Emperor Dead==<br />
On August 6th 2015, the ottoman emperor was banned. [[_Lego_]] will live in rememberance of all.<br />
<br />
==Disgrace==<br />
As tensions with Verussia was rising the King Lithvather state rude remarks in a world meeting. As the queen demanded he apologized he left the empire and his King Lithvather position that very moment. Relations with the elves and Verussians are allied and will always stay that way.<br />
<br />
==War with Verussia==<br />
<br />
===Accusations===<br />
The Verussian government was cought in a scam to betray the allied powers and wage an all out war. The Elven and British governments held a 2 week trial leading to the Verussians were guilty and to be kicked from the allied, they have stopped all trade an communication with both nations.<br />
===War!===<br />
Mid October 2015 and the Verussian Empire declared an all out state of war against the British Empire lending aid to there ally [[Delta]] to attack the British, as the elves and [[Delta]] have an ever lasting alliance they will marched on the Verussian Empire to get military movement of the British.<br />
<br />
[[File:Art Wallpaper 11 1900x1200 263.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
===Elven Desert Campaign===<br />
Under the orders of Commander Xadiez and Chief Dorkito the Elven Guards were sent out to the Verussian Desert to the east to take out all Verussian strongholds and settlements forcing the Verussians back to there homeland. The Scorching heat was horrid for most elves for they were used to wet, cool forest areas. As for the Commander and Chief they both had experience with desert campaigns before.<br />
<br />
===Siege of Vievenhiem===<br />
Elven troops reach to the strong hold of Vievenhiem main city to the east in the Verussian Empire, the elves surrounded and attacked the city with cannon fire and naval fire and ground raids onto the city and it was slowly being destroyed, as offices and markets were being blown up the elves showed no mercy, for someone they dared to call a friend.<br />
<br />
About few weeks into the war the Verrusian Former leader KingRS pleaded with the elves to stop the war and that it was nothing but big accident, the elves did not respond in nothing but cannon fire and more attacks.<br />
<br />
Under orders of the King and Queen the Verrusians will not see the light of day until there empire falls, for breaking trust, friendship, and most of all betraying those who helped them in the worst times possible.<br />
<br />
==Rivendell==<br />
The new capitol of Rivendell has finally finished and is now the capitol of the elven empire, and home to many great elders and warriors that teach new elves there education on what they want to learn.<br />
[[File:Rivendell1.jpg|thumbnail|right]]<br />
<br />
==Curruption==<br />
As days in the empire continues Elven unrest began.. After years of Curruption the Elven Govermnent had to make a drastic decision on how they we to cleanse the Elven Empire so they publicly announced the end of the Elven empire.<br />
<br />
==Dark Ages==<br />
===Crusaders of the Void===<br />
As the old pirate crews died off there was one small band of people quiet yet very powerful. As the age of war came to an end there crew rised from the shadows and waged war on everyone. CoV is the most vicious pirate crew beating the outlaws and lotus combined. They have became the most despised piratecrew in Elven History launching constant attacks on elven settlements. Killing itocent people.<br />
<br />
===The Great War===<br />
Months have passed since the rising of CoV and other piratecrews out there band together to fight off the major threat. The Elven Empire had issued a national state of emergency demanding all citizens stay away from international meeting spots (warps) which is a hotspot of attacks for CoV. As time goes on the selves still fight hard and will hope one day those savage piratecrew will see its end, or others go there different ways..<br />
<br />
[[File:The lord of the rings fantasy art elves artwork the hobbit armies of the third age www paperhi com 52.jpg|thumbnail|center]]<br />
<br />
===Prospering Trade & Booming building age ===<br />
As under the oppression of CoV the elves have increased 87.3% in trade with other nations bringing in goods and services. The Elven empire has doubled the production of more towns and the woodland elves have began the construction of there new homeland Vailinor in the Realm of Vailar where Mirkwood and both Rivendell both lie. As the Dark Elves continue to thrive in harmony, led by [[King Hades and Queen Angel Morvothril]]<br />
<br />
==New Age==<br />
<br />
===Rise of Avalor===<br />
Time has came and gone and the Elves still face new threats. As the brave Royal Guard defends our people we the elven people began to construct a new home. A replacement of Evermoor. The kingdom lies to the east and will soon be he most heavily fortified kingdom of all the east in the realm. <br />
<br />
== Return of the Elven King Lithvather ==<br />
As time has passed the elven empire has gotten the old king of olds King Lithvather back into power next to his wife [[Reptaria]] and are leading the Empire along with the other factions together into great times!<br />
<br />
== Adoption of the Grand Admiral ==<br />
A young human naval officer cadet, SnapCrackPlays, was taken in by the Queen as a naval Lieutenant and quickly worked his way up to Grand Admiral, at which time he was made Lord and later Earl of Castlereagh.<br />
<br />
==Crowning of the new king==<br />
In March 2017, Queen Reptaria decided to leave the Empire for a while and create a new crew to focus on pvp and getting revenge on our enemies. She crowned TheHattedHatter as the new high king. The coronation was attended by many lords from all lands of the server. Right as the event was about to begin, Reptaria suddenly passed out and, seeing as she couldn't be brought back in time for the ceremony, Lord_Vanther decided to take her place and crown the new king. By the grace of Manwe, he gave Hatter the divine touch and was all the sudden blazing with divine fire. After the king's coronation, the Crown Prince also followed, though his tale is less eventful. As the festivities were ending, the queen finally came back to her senses and rejoined the crowd. After feasting and drinking, all who attended the feast heard the dark knight, Javainvader at the gates and he was not alone. Riverkitty and the former king of the elves, in an act of treachery that shall never be forgiven, were also with him. They quickly proceeded to kill everyone in the throne room and the treacherous old king also lead the attackers into the elven vault which was then emptied. The elven throne itself was blown to pieces and the Grand Hall stood in ruins. That day shall forever live in infamy.<br />
<br />
==Elven Empire Roleplay==<br />
The Elven Empire is known for exemplary roleplay skills. Roleplay is key when joining the Elven Empire and must have a themed skin when joining, and a uniform skin according to their rank if they join the armed forces.<br />
<br />
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:<br />
<br />
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)<br />
<br />
Mellon "Friend"<br />
<br />
Suilad "Greetings"<br />
<br />
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"<br />
