Birth Of A Race
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.
Cornola
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.
Imports And Trade
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.
The Empty Void
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.
Fort Charles
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
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.
Tension
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
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.
War
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.
First Shots
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.
Peace
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.
Reconstruction
Exploration
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.
Borders
The Elves had spread their borders and expanded across the world with many forts and kingdoms.
World War
Chaos
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.

War Rages On
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. 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.
Ottoman Emperor Dead

Elven Desert Campaign
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.
Siege of Vievenhiem
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.

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.
The Great War
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.

Return of the Elven King Lithvather
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!
Crowning of the new king
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.
Elven Empire Roleplay
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.
Elven phrases elves should use in game to keep the roleplay alive are:
Mae Govannen "Well met!"(used as hello)
Mellon "Friend"
Suilad "Greetings"
Elen síla lúmmen' omentielvo! "A star shines at the hour of our meeting"
There is much more to learn but as the elven experience goes you will learn.
