You are walking through the library, absently browsing tittles, when you come across two children, a boy and a girl, sitting on the floor pouring over a large book. They see you and explain that they are having trouble reading some of the big words and ask if you would please help them. Scooting over, they make room for you to sit on the floor beside them and push the book toward you, their faces eager with anticipation. You hadn't come here expecting to read stories to children or teach them history lessons, but you can't let them down now. Their faces are far too bright and trusting. Taking your place crossed legged on the floor beside them, you clear your throat, smooth the velum of the page and read the tittle.

Year 43 Before Elryn leads a rebellion against the elvs, slaying the great general, Apox, and many dark wizards. Eventually, however, Elryn is forced to flee the county when the elven kings sets his will and power against Elryn.

Year 44 Before Estryn Christallo is born to Elryn son of a goddess and Edelpha the giantess. The spirits of the island and the gods in the heavens bless him. Year 26 Before Estryn Christallo returns to Elon to continue the rebellion against the elvs that his father began. He wins many battles and gathers a great army of man. Even a handful elves see the evil in the magic and practices of their people and join his ranks. The good elf and master smith of steal and magic, Yevan Sarvo, forges the mighty great-sword, Windroar. He placed a rune of magic below the hilt as his maker’s mark and presented it to Estryn. “With this sword you shall turn back the dark magic of the Elven king and cast these tyrants out forever.” Year 19 Before After a long and terrible campaign, Estryn finally banishes the Elven king and the dark witchcraft of his reign. He takes the Elven king's crown of power and Yevan Sarvo boils it down, purifies it and forges it into a new crown. "By this crown you will rule with righteousness and honor and all the land will recognize you for a true and godly king." And so Estryn is declared the first King of Elon and the remaining elves of those terrible ways are hunted down and slain. The Kingdom of Elon is established. |
