| Kingdom of Erlon | Kingdom of Erlon
The most powerfull of the Elven kingdoms build around the great city of Erlon.
The kingdom has gone through a lot of trouble in the last years, orcs attacking from all sides, the corsairs rading the coasts and the betrayal of Azkhorabar wich lead to the corruption of Morsereg, the heir to the throne. Morsereg killed his father, the noble king Turomen, and his armies devastated the eastern part of the kingdom, Erlon itself was just barely held by his brother Hwestaman who was now king. 20 years later a huge army from Azkhorabar marched towards Minquetal, the capital of the kingdom of Tír Dhínin. The army was supported by vast hordes of orcs from the north and the Vieldmunde clans. King Hwestaman rushed his armies to Minquetal and together with the king of Tír Dhínin he faced the enemy... and got utterly crushed. Both kings lost their lifes while defending the city, the people of Tír Dhínin fled into their southern forests and Hwestaman's sons became kings. Erlon was ruled by Encilmion and Myrlon by Myrinion. After some decades of relative peace, the people of Tír Dhínin managed to take back Minquetal and evil was retreating, there was a sudden attack from the south. Masses of orcs lead by Lugroth crossed the sea from the south with the help of the corsairs. The orcs took Hyaryalond, one of the twin cities guarding the southern passage and destroyed the bridge connecting the two sides while the corsairs took the naval base of Erlon, this way they were unable to help. The orcs marched on Myrlon and in the valley in front of the city they were met by king Myrinion and his forces. Myrinion, heavily outnumbered, didn't stand a chance but his heroic sacrifice gave his people time to evacuate. Myrinion himself died by the hand of the orc chief Lugroth but his sons managed to escape to Erlon.
Now Erlon is starting to recover and the Elves are almost ready to strike back, they have to drive the orcs and corsairs of their peninsula, hold the northern passage and repopulate the devastated areas. The lost lands of Myrlon have to be reclaimed and their allies are in need of help.
It is up to YOU to do this all.

| Sentinels of the Woodland | Sentinels of the Woodland
The Sentinels of the Woodland are the "crusaders" of the kingdom of Erlon, they protect the southern forest and the Holy Tree in it's center from the filthy orcs coming from the mountains. For ages this has been a peacefull place where Elves and men lived in the endless forests. The Elves moved through the entire forest and had good contacts with the Kingdom of Mellon and the local Gwaith-uin-Mescain, by men called the swampmen. They never controlled the entire mountain range to the east of the forests and this has for centuries been the house of one of the largest orc populations. From time to time orc troops devastaded the forests but they weren't a big threath because they lacked a strong leader and fought many wars amongst each other. 50 years ago a strong orc called Lugroth claimed the leadership and united all orcs under his banner. The orcs swarmed the forest and threathened were trying to destroy the holy parts of it. One group pushed all the way through the forest and settled on the side of a big volcano, this place was worshipped by the orcs and from there they limited the Elves from travelling to the western parts. A few years ago two sons of the late king Myrinion arrived to lead the sentinels with more reinforcements from Erlon. Myrinion's oldest son Myrcanion is the captain-general of the sentinels and he is fighting the orcs though the entire forest, his younger brother Micelion resides in the capital and protects the Holy Tree.

"Built himself a paradise." So ends the first verse of The Song of the Celedhil. Right now the world isn't that much of a paradise.
The world has changed, darkness has fallen over the lands of the elven kingdoms. It began with the death of Caltarí II and Myrinion at the second battle of Minquetal and the battle of Myrlon. It plunged the world into chaos. Erlon is standing with it's back against the wall, Mellon is slowly falling apart. To long have we waited, now it's time for action.
Celeb-Edhil could become a strong nation, even stronger than Erlon. Yet they are too small to grow to their full potential. After losing all ground on the mainland they retreated to their islands. Celeb-Edhil has a long alliance with the kingdom of Mellon that goes back to the arrival of king Ciloron. But Mellon is slowly falling, the people have retreated to the forests and now hordes of orcs have showed up even there. The Khanate of Annûn has broken it's treaty with the Dwarves and supported by the Variags they invaded Mellon's western land. The rich trading cities fell, only the city of Rasan, once part of the kingdom of Mellon in it's glorydays, was able to hold it's ground. They were able to push the Westerlings back but most of the cities are now abandoned. The Westerlings won't stop their invasions into these fertile and rich lands. Celeb-Edhil must do something against the orcs and the invaders from the west, Mellon will fall without help, Rasan can't hold on forever and Calinor can't hold off every corsair attack. The Elves are now ready to strike to all sides, to the north to help their crippled ally, to the east to drive the Uruks out of their holes and to the west to stop the attacks from the steppes and to the south to hold the attacks of the orcs of Ímundûr.

| Erebmyr | Principality of Erebmyr
Erebmyr was founded by Morsereg short after he killed his father. At first he kept peace with Erlon, but he became ensnared by a wizard from Azkhorabar named Azkhardon. Morsereg then attacked Erlon and brought down many cities that belonged to Erlon. The first battle of Minquetal took place and Hwestaman, Morsereg's brother, died. Although his brother was his enemy Morsereg still mourned when he found out his brother had died. Morsereg withdrew his damaged army from Erlon and started rebuilding them in his realm.
Now the great war has come, Erebmyr must deem itself worthy to Melkor and Azkhorabar. They must support the troops of Lugroth, defeat Erlon and crush the resistance in Tír Dhínin. This time, Erebmyr doesn't only field elvish warriors, but also orcs and trolls. Erebmyr must rise now and profit of the weaknesses in the fronts of Erlon. You must strike now, you must strike hard.
