Medieval White Elf Story

Having the teacher's teachings was more or less a good thing for Flynn. Through the words of the teacher and the servants around him, he had a rough understanding of the magical world in which he lived.

According to a comparison of several hand-drawn maps of questionable authenticity collected in Cheap Daddy's study, the world Flynn is in is a huge continent called Goron, which is similar to an irregular quadrilateral, and the Bain family belongs to The Kingdom of Estilia is a huge country that occupies most of the central area of ​​this irregular quadrilateral. The so-called Estilia actually means the land in the middle of the river in Elvish language, which corresponds to this area. Two rivers, one east and one west, sandwich most of the country.

The east of the kingdom is a huge area occupied by the black elves, which is equivalent to the entire eastern part of the quadrilateral. 4000 years ago, many kingdoms and principalities formed a loose federation called the Altunian Empire. Styria is about half the size.In history, the black elves of Altunia invaded Estilia many times. They called the white elves "Ellis elves", which means enslaved.It wasn't until about 700 years ago that a hero of the white elves led his people to establish a unified kingdom of Estilia for the first time. Not only did he get rid of the enslavement of the black elves, but he also once extended the power of the white elves to South-central region of Altunia.But the First Kingdom collapsed after existing for about 300 years. The black elves came back and occupied the entire Estilia.It was not until the rise of the Second Kingdom of Estilia about 200 years later that it regained its lost territory and once again expanded its territory to most of Altunia.

About 400 years ago, the Second Kingdom of Estilia collapsed, and the current Third Kingdom of Estilia emerged. However, it has lost many of the territories of the original Second Kingdom, most of which were occupied by Altunia. .Until now, there are still many areas on the borders of the Altunian Empire where white elves live.Similarly, there are many places in Estilia that are home to the black elves.

To the southwest of Altunia is the Antis peninsula, which is about one-third the size of the kingdom. On it are four small kingdoms of Talon, Dulin, Esra and Bi, founded by a race called the Wood Elves. Lear.

To the south of Estilia and Altunia is Norik, another homeland formed by the black elves. It is about half the size of Estilia and is across the sea from the Antis Peninsula.5000 years ago, this was the territory of the goblins, the earliest indigenous inhabitants of Goron, and the Lena Empire, the earliest primitive country of Goron, appeared.With the rise of the black elves in Altunia, they gradually invaded and destroyed the Reiner Empire. The goblins here were basically slaughtered or enslaved, and they were divided into small states.Although there once was a unified Kingdom of Norik in history, it was short-lived and it is still divided into many states, and it is invaded from time to time by its two neighbors, Altunia or Estilia.

To the east of Estilia and northeast of Nolic is the Bolencian Empire established by the Lizardmen, which is about half the size of the Altunian Empire. Further east of Bolencia is the Stone The huge empire established by the people, Gael, occupies almost two-thirds of the entire Goron area, which is more than the combined area of ​​Estilia, Altunia and Bolencia.Fortunately, it was very desolate and most of the areas were not suitable for survival. Therefore, the Gaelic Empire was very weak and had been invaded by Bolencia. The two sides were almost incompatible with each other.

To the southwest of Bolencia and Norik is the area collectively known as Mercia. This is an area where black elves, goblins, stone people, and lizard people live together. There are many semi-independent small countries. It is also the area where Bolencia and In the area where Gaia competes with each other, the influence of the Norik elves also extends to this area.

To the north of Goron are the Northern Islands, which are mainly composed of Quelzon Island, which is the size of Estilia and surrounding small islands. This is the home of the sea elves.Because the entire region was too cold, most of the region was covered in ice and snow, and the population was concentrated in a small area along the southern coast, forming a country called the Northern Kingdom.Because of the barrenness of their own land, the sea elves' navigation technology is very advanced, and they often go south to plunder the southern continent, especially the Zeeland Peninsula at the junction of Estilia and Bolencia.

To the west of the Northern Kingdom and northwest of Estilia, two slightly smaller islands form the Kingdom of Cecilia.This was originally the territory of the sea elves. Later, the indigenous humans who were enslaved by the sea elves launched an uprising, expelled the sea elves' forces, and established their own kingdom.Humans used the navigation skills learned from the sea elves to cross the northern seas and continuously invade Altunia and Estilia. They also took advantage of the collapse of the Second Kingdom to occupy the northern territory of Estilia and the Belongs to the Bolencia region of Estilia.After the establishment of the Third Kingdom, human forces were expelled from Estilia and Bolencia took the opportunity to become independent.So Cecilia has been trying to invade Estilia, regain the territory they thought they had lost, and regain a foothold on the mainland.

To the south of Goron, across the Lena Sea, is another vast land called the Southern Continent, which is the home of all kinds of orcs.In history, the orcs went north to invade the Norik and Antis regions many times, but were driven out all the time.The specific situation of the southern continent is not clear to the elves, lizard people, stone people or humans of Goron. They can only vaguely estimate it based on the outline of the explored coastal area. It is roughly similar to a rhombus, and the area is slightly smaller than the Goron continent. .

Except for these two continents, other areas are covered by the vast ocean. For thousands of years, no one has been able to break through the strong winds and waves of the sea to further explore. Is there a new undeveloped land in the distance? It is always an unknown situation.

Compared with the rough patchwork of geographical knowledge, the historical knowledge of Goron, especially Estilia, is quite comprehensive.

The Kingdom of Estilia, to which the Bain family belongs, originally belonged to the same empire level as its old enemy Altunia. However, after the collapse of the Second Kingdom and the lack of strength of the Third Kingdom, the country was downgraded to the Kingdom level and its territory was greatly reduced.

The Neville royal family that now rules this country was originally just a principality in the Second Kingdom. After the collapse of the Second Kingdom, it united with the other seven remaining powerful principalities to form an alliance. The Duke of Neville at the time was elected as this King of the New Kingdom.

After expelling the black elves and humans who occupied the kingdom's territory, the eight principalities basically divided the entire kingdom, with equal strength to each other. The royal decree could not leave the capital Cassian and the original territory of the Neville family, almost becoming another Alto. A replica of the Nia Empire.

Fortunately, the generations of kings after the Neville royal family were relatively powerful. Relying on hundreds of years of palace struggles and civil wars, they gradually weakened other principalities. At present, the territory directly under the royal family accounts for nearly half of the entire kingdom, except for the one next to the Bain family. Apart from the Principality of Zeon, the other principalities do not have the strength to confront the royal family, so the country is still barely unified under Neville's blue lark flag.

But just 17 years before Flynn was born, which was also the year 1450 in the White Elf calendar, Cecilia from the northeast invaded Estilia again. The previous king of Estilia, Enver V, was not able to do anything, and led The [-]-strong army was completely annihilated by [-] Cecilia troops in the fields of Fortmans. The northwest territory was basically occupied, and the king also became a prisoner.

In 1452, with the mediation of the Principality of Zeon, the white elves and humans signed the Alcanin Contract, ceding the entire northwest coast of the Principality of Mann to Cecilia, and paying compensation of 470 million gold coins, repaid in ten-year installments. To redeem their king, the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.

However, by 1461, the White Elves were unable to collect the required amount of gold coins for compensation, and Enver V died in prison in the Kingdom of Cecilia.Although Enver VI who succeeded to the throne did not have the courage to send troops to avenge his father, he was determined not to continue to pay for the ransom of a dead king, so the two sides restarted the war.

In the early stages of the war, Enver VI took advantage of the fact that humans had to cross the sea to fight and could not quickly gather troops. Enver VI took advantage of it and regained some lost territory.But in 1465, the human king Claes IV, who had just ascended the throne of Cecilia, was only 17 years old, but his combat prowess was incredible. He landed directly in Mann with an army of [-], and defeated Enver Six in one breath. With four armies in the world, the entire Principality of Quantan, the royal territory directly adjacent to Mann, fell, and the human army advanced towards the royal capital of Cassian.

In desperation, Enver VI had to take refuge in Erfurt Castle, and sent envoys to Kress IV to sue for peace, and finally agreed to increase the original compensation of 470 million to 550 million, and when the king died , the throne will be passed to Fiennes, Duke of Mann, who was canonized by Cecilia, Estilia will also surrender to the Kingdom of Cecilia, and the war will be temporarily over.

The king's lack of support also prompted other principalities within the territory to take action. The Principality of Zeon, which is next to the Bain family, is one of the representatives.
