The Separation of Tuidhana

The third elven king, Arniell, decided that from now on, the system of government in his state would be a hereditary monarchy. Opposing this, Tuidhana, the queen of a small elven province on the border with the Empire of the Falcon, declared the independence of her people from the Elven Kingdom.

The War of Bitter Ash: The Birth of the Dark Elves

The war between the elves of Irollan and the people of the Holy Empire of the Falcon. At the center of the conflict is the kingdom of Tuidhana, attacked from two sides. Tuidhana turns to Arniell for help, but is refused. After that, he throws his troops against the human empire, not caring much about the small kingdom, on whose territory the so-called War of Ash is taking place. In desperation, Tuidhana makes a deal with one of the remaining Faceless in exchange for the power to protect her people. Those who follow her are changed by the will of Malassa, the Dragon of Darkness. And from that day on, they are called dark elves. With the help of their new allies, they drive out both elves and humans from their lands.

A total lunar eclipse. This time, the Blind Brothers managed to warn him, and the Alliance, with the support of the Dragon Knights, reacted immediately.

The Day of Fiery Tears: The Death of Tuidhana

A terrible fire destroys the elven capital. In the fire, the High King Arniell and many of his close associates perish. And what is most terrible is that the fire consumes Brittiga, the Mother of Trees, the sacred symbol of the elven people. The dark elves and Vaniel, the son of the deceased Arniell, were blamed for what happened, and he offered them a choice: exile or death. Most preferred exile; the rest were killed. Among the last was Tuidhana, who refused to leave her lands. The place where Brittiga was located was erased from all maps, and to this day no elf approaches it. A new Mother of Trees is planted in the depths of the elven forests.

The Resistance

Two years after the Day of Fiery Tears and the death of Tuidhana, the exiles - the dark elves - are still searching for a place they can call home. The forest kin pursue and mercilessly deal with them, accusing them of the destruction of the Sacred Tree and the murder of the High King. Eruina, the leader of the dark elf community and the daughter of Tuidhana, hoped to find refuge on the Island of Distant Winds and offered an alliance to Rutger, the leader of the local human settlement. However, he sent a message to the elves, his long-time allies, informing them of where their dark brethren were hiding. A fleet set out from Irollan, led by the elven hero Talanar. In addition, Sinithar, an ambitious and dangerous dark elf, created additional problems for Eruina. It is rumored that communicating with spectral dragons drove him mad, and now he has decided to challenge Eruina's rule.

Having first eliminated his overly arrogant comrade and members of his clan, Eruina struck at the settlement of the traitor Rutger, and then destroyed the fleet of Talanar that approached the island.
