Grand Elven Empire
Placeholder page for later development.
Why This Mention Matters
- This faction is important because it anchors the elven side of the Age of Empires as one of the continent-shaping powers of old Maelia and Ardentis.
- It matters because it suggests an era when elves operated at imperial and mythic scale rather than as fragmented later peoples.
- The empire also helps explain why ancient magical ruins, tombs, and landscape-scale works still emerge from forgotten strata.
Development Direction
- Clarify whether this was centered on Ardentis, Maelia, or a trans-continental imperial sphere spanning both.
- Define what kind of force it brought to war: dragons, celestial compacts, elemental engineering, or world-shaping ritual architecture.
- Identify what remains now: broken lineages, forgotten roads, sealed vaults, buried cities, or corrupted descendants.
