The first recorded proof of their existence was a written text in stone from 13800 YA (Yenya ára -o men: before dawn of men). In this text there are references to other magical beings and talking animals. The elves lived in harmony with nature and animal, living in a nomad like life.

5900 YA

Remnants of a great elven city were found under the location of current Chervonstad, proof of the elves settling down and changing from a nomad live style to a settler live style.

Trade with other magical beings was a common thing and the elves prospered.

300 YA

Written text and drawings found in Chevra shows the first signs of the elves gradually disappearing. It is still unknown to this day what the cause of this was.

Year 1

Creatures similarly to the elves appeared in the world of Alfheim. These creatures did not have the ability to speak to animals nor tap into the flow of nature like the elves could. They called themselves “men” and “humans”. These humans were a violent species and killed of almost all magical creatures in less than a year.

Year 133

The humans established an empire, east of the Elven cities. This Empire was called the Dearmani Empire. A long war erupted between the elves and the Dearmani, known as the Crystal Wars.

As the first prime minister of the nation deltaimpact oversaw tons of improvements. During the first week the capital Chervonstad saw a big and fast expansion in construction and population. The Parliament road and Republic street were constructed giving home to the ministers and the first citizens of Alfheim. Delta started the construction of the stables, the miners union worked on the public mine while several pubs opened.

By the begining of the second week a severe housing crisis began after dozens of people flocked to the capital. Most of the people found their way to the other Alfheim cities of Sagan-Tosu and Chervonliqen. However this was not enough and Alfheim still had numerous people roofless. The Prime Minister declared that anyone who build a house would receive a reward. After a few days democracy square and Adilol avenue was constructed with several new homes, putting an end to the housing crisis.

This led rise to a monarchist party which began plotting to have a king instead of a Prime Minister. Piotik realising the mess created from his incompetence decided to take advantage of the issue and try get a vote on emergency powers. This became successful however it did not do much. With these emergency powers Piotik was able to delay the elections until the 8th where the next elections will begin according to Piotik. With these issues on the last few days, two pm candidates NiftyZebra stepped in to go on a recruiting race for the last 5 days in order to help them with votes on their elections.
