The Death List Novel - Chapter 361

Chapter 361 Great Elf Civilization
“Everyone, if the leader of the caravan is an elf, then don’t you find it strange to look at the mission background given by the Broken Star System?” Qin Lun added with a smile. Hearing the young man’s words, the apostles of the fortress team looked over the background of the mission and fell into deep thought.

Compared to other storyline races, the apostles of the Horn of Devils were very familiar with the elves. Among the five ruling races in the apostle city were the Moonlight Elves.

Although creatures like elves had many different races, most of them loved nature and advocated self-sufficient jungle life. Unaccustomed to open cities and everyday life to other races, they seem to be somewhat isolated from humans.

The trade between elves and humans was usually initiated by humans. Human caravans entered the forest and brought daily necessities and luxury goods such as tea, porcelain, silk, spices, etc. in exchange for elven crafts and precious medicinal ingredients.

Such deals are often lucrative, but they are also hard to come by. The elves had always been on high alert for human greed and cunning. Moreover, most elves were indifferent and did not pursue fame and fortune like humans. Forests allow them to be self-sufficient, the goods provided by humans are not necessities of life,

Based on this, it was hard to imagine that the elves in a large forest would form a caravan and take the initiative to leave the forest in search of trade with humans. Especially the elves in this forest. They were close enemies of the human kingdom outside the forest.

Normally, the Broken Starry Sky would give a brief introduction to the background of the quest when giving guidance quests or main-line quests. Some of these aspects are not as detailed and need to be queried by the apostles according to their own needs.

Of course, according to the degree of exploration of the mission world in the Broken Star System, these data would also be quite incomplete. The lower the original exploration level, the more general the information would be, and vice versa, the more detailed it would be.

Toril’s current level of exploration was still very low, so the introduction to the mission scenario in the starry sky was also very general, giving only a general background of the world. However, according to the current main plot, some historical information of Jondar Forest region is still given.

The Jondar Forest region is located south-central of the Ferren Continent. To the north is the sea area of the human kingdom Jondas and Vihon. To the west is the continental granary-the golden plain-mixed with the Alan and Naga rivers. To the south is the legendary Felstep Mountains where the red dragons still exist. To the east are the Mesworth Mountains and Viper Peaks.

The Jondahl Elves belonged to one of the Keldomo Elves. Valley Age 23100-17100 BC, when the Great Elf civilization was in its first boom. A team of Moon Fairies, Green Fairies and Dark Fairies who had survived the Curse of Dawn had established a large settlement in the Keldomo Forest (including the present-day Tyser, Amm, Karinshan, and Jondal regions) in order to stay away from the Fairy Country War provoked by the Golden Fairies.

These settlements later formed the three main elven kingdoms, based in Ank and Theopia in Jondal, in Seentar in Thorned Forest, and in Eirur in the Forest of Winter. These forest settlements were so large that they amounted to almost one fifth of the entire continent of Fallen.

The present Thorned Forest, Anke, Forest of Winter, and Jondal Forest were all part of Keldor Mogg Forest at that time. Later, the Keldor Mogg Forest was torn apart by fires due to numerous wars, especially the two dragon wars and the five crown wars of the elves, splitting the forest into the Forest of Dragons, the Duttle Forest and the Tyser Forest.

The Duttle Forest was later divided into Verdas, Silminster, and Mill, while the Tyser Forest was divided into Anke, Thorns, Dongsen, and Jondal Forest.

In fact, the name Tyser came from the King of Keldomo, who was the first recorded elven dragon slayer and ranger commander. He used the Dragon Slaying Arrow to kill two ancient red dragons on the mountains, saving the lives of many of his compatriots.

After the division of the Keldor Mogg Forest, the largest forest was named after him, the Tyser Forest. The heroism of the Elf King earned the respect of the dragons. The dragons had always looked down on the elves, treating them as food and ignorant two-legged livestock.

In 17500 BC, the three independent forest elven kingdoms of Seintar, Eirule, and Theopia began to discuss the establishment of a unified kingdom against the northern Golden Fairy country, Irivada, and the Dark Fairy country, Illesri, who believed in the goddess Rose.

Unfortunately, their plan for reunification was ruined by Ilisri. The Dark Elves sent spies and assassins to kill the leaders of the three kingdoms who supported the reunification and supported the opposing successors, pushing the three elven kingdoms into a multilateral melee. This conspiracy was not discovered until centuries later.

From 17100 to 16800 B.C., this three-century melee was called the Three Leaves War. The peace-loving Green Fairies and Moon Fairies were finally like their clansmen, the Golden Fairies and the Dark Fairies, completely engulfed in an elven civil war for the first time.

Compared to the other wartime periods of the Fairy Age, the Three Leaves War, although it lasted for three centuries, was still more like a passing family. After all, the green elves and the moon elves were calm and peaceful. The war between them did not bring much damage, especially after they had thoroughly understood the plot of the “Illusory” dark elves. This war ended.

However, the Three Leaves War was remembered by all the elves because with the end of this war, the first prosperous period of the Great Elf Civilization had ended.

Following that, the Irivada Golden Fairy’s Wa Xingen Clan established the Wa Xingen Empire, and the Illusory Dark Fairy’s rise, the Fairy Clan began a second period of prosperity.

If the first boom of the elves was about survival and reproduction, the second boom was about real development of the elven civilization, about art and magic.

Because it was located in the geographic centers of the northern and southern elven kingdoms, the Myerita elven kingdom gradually became the center of art and high-level magic for all of the Fairies by virtue of its geographical location and trade exchanges.

At the same time, this made the Golden Elves, who claimed to be elven leaders, even more unhappy. They established the first elven empire, the Vajra Empire, and called their forest the Utmost Forest, setting the stage for future wars with Mayerita.

The second boom in the Great Elf civilization finally ended in the spring of 12,000 B.C., with a major magical war between the two countries, as the conflict between faith and conventional trade escalated between Irivada and Myerita.

However, at that time, no elf could have imagined that this war would only be the beginning of a series of wars, and that the elves would eventually step down from the throne that ruled the continent.

These wars included the Myerita invasion waged by the Golden Elves of Irivada; Keldomo’s Battle of Giants and Dragons (First Dragon War); Elizabeth’s invasion of Irivada, the “war of fire” against Theopia, the “battle of mourning” of the Keldomo Alliance Army’s counterattack on Elizabeth, the war of annexation of Elizabeth by Elizabeth, and so on.

These wars, large and small, were divided into five Crown Wars in chronological order. The two most influential events in the Crown Wars were the Dark Calamity and the fall of the Dark Elves.

The Dark Calamity had completely destroyed the Myrita Fairy Kingdom, leaving behind only the scorched earth that was now known as the Utmost Wilderness.

Perhaps it was because of the barbarism of the Crown War, or perhaps because of their faith in Goddess Rose, the Dark Elves had fallen in this era. After waging many wars and committing many cruel acts, they were forced to migrate underground on this planet and become the Underground Elves, the Drow Elves.

Five Crown Wars had lasted for four generations, equivalent to more than three thousand years. From 12,000 BC to 9,000 BC. Many wars have burned down large quantities of forests. The large forests that covered the west of Ferren Continent were divided into small forests. Compared to the previous forests, these small forests were almost less than one-seventh of their original size.

In the final and fifth Crown War, with the total defeat of the Vajpayee Empire army and the division of Irivada, the long all-out war finally came to an end. Many parts of the Utmost Forest have been abandoned, allowing the forest to live freely so that it can regain its vitality.

Next came the Fairy colonial movement known as the Year of the Miracle, and the war-weary Golden Fairies of Arivanda began to move to the Commanso Forest in the east of the continent. However, due to the destruction of the upper echelons of the Waxing Enta Empire, the Golden Fairy’s inheritance was greatly damaged.

Although the surviving Golden Elves later claimed to be an all-elven royal family by emigrating to Evergathering Island and transplanting the seeds of the original World Tree to the center of Evergathering Island, only Ilfranc and Keldomo remained of the continental elven civilization that had been completely preserved.

The Fairies that existed in the eastern part of the Utmost Forest were survivors of Santa Osrell, Myerita, Olyssal, and Ayerul. They were basically no longer related to the Golden Fairy Empire of Waxingenta.

From then on, the Golden Fairy, who originally belonged to the upper elven nobles, would no longer be able to enjoy exclusive elven kingship in righteousness. The Keldomo and Ilfran Moon Fairies and Green Fairies, who had complete inheritances, were more qualified to claim their orthodoxy.

However, between 9, 000 and 8, 500 BC, a group of red dragons attacked the heart of Keldor Mogg Forest, spitting out flames that ignited uncontrollable forest fires. The fire wiped out the entire population of four elves, destroyed 11 Giant settlements, killed at least four green dragons, and destroyed thousands of kilometers of forests.

The catastrophe was called the Second Dragon War to distinguish between the Giants and the Dragons during the Crown War. Keldomo was divided into three forests by fire and other causes: the Forest of Dragons, the Duttle Forest, and the Tyser Forest (named after the Keldomo Fairy King).

In 6200 BC, the Tyser Fairy ushered in the Age of Skyfire. The kingdom of Kadom, founded by the Qi Giant, and the kingdom of McNong, founded by the Fire Giant, began to fight in Karinshan and Tyser. The war lasted for a hundred years, and the fire once again split the forest into four existing forests: Anke, Thorn, Dongsen, and Jondal.

Because this war was not an elven civil war, even though the Keldomo elves suffered heavy casualties, it did not affect the inheritance. One of the Keldomo Fairies used the other seeds of the World Tree to establish the Demon Cup Fairy Court in the Jondar Forest. It was also the predecessor of the Jondar Fairy.

The elves’ calamity was good news for the other continent’s races. The burned forests turned into plains and brought fertile soil. Humans began to rise and gradually replaced the elves as the new rulers of Faylon Continent.

The remnants of the Qi Giant and the Fire Giant were driven away by the combined forces of humans and the Dwarves. Some humans rebuilt Karin Harbor and Kelta in the original kingdom of the Qi Giant in Karinshan and formed the “Corinthian” human kingdom (later known as the Carinthian kingdom). The dwarves formed the Sanata Alliance in the original kingdom of the Fire Giant Spirit, Tessel, and later split into many dwarf kingdoms.

Another group of humans established a kingdom called Zamdas in the north of the Jondar Forest, the predecessor of the present-day “Jondas Kingdom”, and fought against the Koransen Kingdom for centuries for control of the Steam Lake region.

Around 255 B.C., a war broke out between the Jondar elves and Zamdas out of dissatisfaction with the logging industry of Zamdas. The human army that invaded Jondar Forest was washed away by the waves created by the high-level elven magic. The northern part of the forest, Zamdas, was washed away into the continent’s inland sea-part of the Falling Star Sea, forming what is now the Weihong Sea Region.

Since then, the Kingdom of Zamdas and the Jondar Elves had become mortal enemies.

Although the successor of Zamdas, the Kingdom of Jondas, had weakened into a small country, and the Jondar elves had lost their former appearance and reached an apparent harmony, in reality, the relationship between the two had not eased in the slightest.

This was the strange thing about Qin Lun pointing out that the leader of the caravan was an elf! With the Jondas Kingdom’s sworn enemy relationship with the Jondar Elves, how could the Elves take the initiative to leave the forest and trade with the Jondas?
