Elvaskript

The Elvaskript is a long book containing the history of the Elven Kingdom known as Cyclandia. The location of Cyclandia was never mentioned in the Elvaskript and as such the erasing of Cyclandia from documents was much easier. =Etymology= Elvaskript is an early Cyclandic word for Book of the Elves. Cyclandic Elvish was heavily derived from English in the beginning of Elvendom, and Skript was an early version of the word "Syrep't" which is the current word for book in Cyclandic. "Elva" comes from Elves, which is the same in both English and Sindarin. =Content= The Elvaskript spans over 800 years of Elvendom. It begins with the discovery of Cyclandia. Here is a summary, as the actual Elvaskript's text has been restricted:

Discovery
Elves' origin is thought to be from Orcs and Men, they were slightly more specialized than the other two. Their Magical gem was known as Nightstone as opposed to Orc Breakstone and Men's Waterstone (Dwarves also use Stormstone). Elves are said to have originated in the town of Pierca, an Orc stronghold in Hvanzeholm. Under the leadership of their namesake King Elf I they sailed to a new land which they called Cyclandia due to its spiraling shape from overhead. The archipelago was an enormous sanctuary filled with peaceful life and dozens of different environments for all types.

Tribes
Eventually, more Elves began migrating to Cyclandia. King Elf created a city called Phoenixia in the very center of Cyclandia and named himself the almighty lord of all Elves. However, some Elves were displeased because King Elf wasn't the best leader (even though he was a good one). Most primarily among these protesters was Kastle Svelbrene E'i I. King Elf made a bad decision one day - to banish an innocent Elf from the land after a mix-up in a crime. The Kastle and his followers used this as justification for a rebellion, and the First Elvish Civil War broke out, ravaging Phoenixia. Eventually, the government won the battle (albeit inviting the banished Elf back into the kingdom), however, Svelbrene E'i and all of his clan and followers were banished from the city and exiled to the mountainous region west of Phoenixia (Svelbrene's court rank of Kastle was also removed from him). The Kastle's followers considered this an outrage. They traveled still westward, eventually reaching an island north of Phoenixia, and called it Blacklake, and made a city on a lake called Lake Towers. Lake Towers flourished under its leader Svelbrene, and its sovereign position was called Kastle in honor of the removed rank. Architect Rae'li was known for her strategic building skills and ordered there to be an immense defensive construction built around Lake Towers; Rae'li also taught other Elves and they became known as the Castle Tribe. They presented themselves to the Phoenixians in a treaty, but King Elf II rejected the notion and moved to lay a siege on Blacklake immediately, however, Elf II severely underestimated Rae'li's castle design and the Phoenixians were absolutely crushed in the battle. Many others within Phoenixia realized that the Elf Dynasty was not the strongest it could be, and thus began the Great Secession, where 5 additional groups seceded from Phoenixia into different sectors of the city. Phoenixia became a warzone of disagreements between these tribes, and the city began to grow in size...and thus war. Among the first of the Great Succession was the Mountain and Dragon Tribes; the Mountain Tribers lived in the underground part of Phoenixia, while Dragon Tribers used dragons for many aspects of life (at this stage, dragon peace was not ensured so many dragons were treated with violence). After this, the 5th tribe, the Cloudrim Tribe, seceded, followed by the Shadow Tribe and the Rainbow Tribe. Even though there were many new tribes, the Phoenix Tribe was still the biggest, and in an immense battle at the end of the First Civil War, the other 5 tribes were banished from Phoenixia and the city was burned to the ground by the Rainbow & Dragon Tribes in a fit of rage. The Mountain Tribers, who had been hit hard during the war, became very peaceful and retreated to underground havens in their new city Siphonea. The Dragon Tribers and Rainbow Tribers, which considered themselves allies, made a joined city called A'evatros in the Cyclandic mid-rim; the Shadow Tribers inhabited Shadowrealm and the Cloudrim tribe moved to a magical city called Yurion.

Prosperity
The Elvaskript's chapter "Prospiriti" referes to the peaceful time between the First Civil War and the Dragonrain Wars. It was a time of peace when the seven Elven tribes lived in harmony for almost 200 years. Magic and learning was abundant, and the sanctuary of Ferndale was established south of A'evatros.

Dragons
Dragons had long been oppressed by the Elves, but during Prospiriti, Elves began to respect them and treat them more fairly. Dragons also let the Dragon Tribers ride them, which other tribes followed.
