Iquendi

The Iquendi are a secretive race of Elves who came from an unkown land which possibly was another continent and migrated away when they where forced out by mightier people. They would settle a long time ago in what is now Varmerion they had a mighty kingdom until a faithful day, in which a civil war consumed the Iquendi as a people into hundreds of years of war. finally, their kingdom collapsed and the surviving Iquendi retreated into the wild, and did their best to stay away from trouble.

Beginnings
The Iquendi originally lived in a fertile and plentiful land east of rathnir in a valley, which the Iquendi call "The holy land", they would found a kingdom which was believed to be known as Iquendinor. This kingdom would be founded at a well at which the first high-king of the Iquendi saw a vision of a god named "Sol Invictorion" who was also known as "the unconquered sun" who told him in his holy voice: "Thee shalt build a city around my holy lake, and thy shalt be the high-king of the kingdom of Iquendinor, if thy refuses to accept thee holy mission I give to thy, then tell me now; if thy accepts, then do as what I say and thy shalt become a prosperous leader."

The high-king would later be known as Voronwë "The enlightened", he would build the social structure of the Iquendi. He would create the noble families, and differentiate the High Iquendi from the Iquendi in social status, he would also found the first university in Iquendi history, and lay the ground work for a strong military of unrivaled quality in the area, he would be killed in an ambush orchestrated by a rival that would end up being the bane of Iquendinor. The hard work of Voronwë and his heirs, the Imin Voronwë, would lay the foundation for the Iquendi golden age.
