Kingdom of Londar

The Great Forest Kingdom of the wood elves of Aegeron, a place of magic, harmony and beauty.

History
For millennia there have always been a wood-elf kingdom in the forests of Londar, where people and Nature lived together in perfect harmony. This harmony was disrupted when the neighboring Kingdom of Minthras waged a bloody war to subjugate the elves and created the Imperium, an event that marks the start date of the Imperial Calendar.

After the fall of the Imperium the elves quickly realized the danger the Abyssal Gate posed to all mortals and united under Calarel Leowynn, a general of the Imperial Legion. She led the elves against the demonic hordes, and held back their onslaught while the humans and dwarves bickered over what piece of land belonged to whom. She opposed the Brass Concordat, but in the end, she relented. Once the Demonfence was erected and the demonic threat was suppressed, she returned home where she was crowned Queen Calarel of Londar. Since then, she has ruled from the city of Ylsalon. Her deeds as a general and her just rule make her one of the most respected monarchs of the continent, which allowed her to bring all the rulers of Aegeron to the table in A.I. 429 and broker the Treaty of Ylsalon and thus ending the Succession War.

Life
The elves of Londar had a closed society for eons, but the Imperium forced them to open up, and after four centuries of imperial rule their cities are now also home to other races, although their smaller forest dwellings are still inhabited by elves with very few exceptions. Most elves have got used to the strange faces, but the very old ones are still nostalgic of the good old days when seeing a half-orc was newsworthy.

Due to the high quality of elven craftsmanship Londar is a prosperous kingdom that has several major trading routes going through it.

Londar is on good terms with its neighbors (especially Lycea which is essentially a vassal state) with the exception of the Cleaver Orcs who occasionally raid elven villages along the border.
