Realm

The Realm is the collective name of the various Elven theocratic empires that rule over the continent of Enthuiah, as well as numerous other territories, in the name of being the intended reclaimers of the ancient Precursors. The Realm is one of the most powerful nations in the known world, and it's reach extends far beyond the boundaries of the actual empire, itself continually expanding. The Realm is primarily comprised of a collection of the Elven peoples, united in the belief that the Elves amperor of the Realm is considered a descendant of the last precursors, and he and the Holy Clergy embark on centennial crusades that are decades long each in search of unknown relics and ruins.

History
The Realm was established roughly four thousand years before modern records. It's first Emperor, known simply as the Reclaimer, was a High Elven Priest of the church of the Sun God Thy'r, in accordance with one of the various ancient religions from the elven homeland. Eventually amassing power and declaring himself a theocratic leader, the Reclaimer enlightened the elven people of their lost heritage as descendants of the Precursors, beings of unprecedented magical power whom lived many tens of thousands of years before.

When the continent of Enthuiah was discovered, the elves found themselves much more advanced than the natives of the continent. At the time, bronze weaponry and armor was being employed by the elves, compared to what would seem to be the tools of a primitive hunter gatherer civilization. Landing in the far north of the continent, the elves discovered dense jungles and swamps inhabited by two races: the monkey-like Ren, and a race of foraging forest elves known as the Tavi'il. The Ren where a shy and mostly peaceful race, and lived deep in the most crowded jungles. The Tavi'il however, where not the stone-wielding savages that they were thought of as by the high elves.
