Pillars of Arrogance

The Pillars of Arrogance, sometimes called the Tales of Intervention, were a series of five stories believed to be written by the Elven poet Wylen Oplani (multiple members of the House Oplani bore the same name, so their identity is debated). None of the five stories have been confirmed to be true, and may have been written purely for entertainment; however, six of the seven Elven Tribes consider the books to be sacred, and almost all Littles read them as part of their education. The Pillars show five (perhaps hypothetical) examples of Elven treachery against the Alliance of Nobility. =Pillar=

Pillar of Bruinholm
The first story, the Pillar of Bruinholm, tells a tale about the Phoenix Tribe's attack on Bruinholm, the 23rd kingdom of the Dwarves, to pillage the riches the kingdom's mines held. Modern-day interviews of the citizens of Bruinholm confirmed an attack of some kind, but whether it was the attack detailed in the story is disputed; many of the Dwarves placed the attack around 1400 C.E., which was after the complete annihilation of House Oplani by the Rainbow Tribe clan, House Pentatonix of Kalerién - many believe that this attack was a fabricated story, but many Dwarves agreed that there may have been an attack before, and that they had no record of it.

In any case, the Bruinholm story was intended to make the readers realize the random and unnecessary violence the Elves committed against the Dwarven lands, which was further proven by the expansion of the Elvish Lands in the latter centuries of the Second Millenia.

Pillar of the Trial
The Pillar of the Trial tells a tale about the trial of an Orc general, which had been held in an unknown location in Cyclandia. It is the shortest of the five Pillars, and details the Castle Tribe's unfairness towards the general who had attempted to defend his kingdom. The Elves held the Orc on trial but did not allow him to present his case, sending him immediately to prison.

Records of trials with several Orc generals had been recorded during the reign of House Oplani in their city, Raelia. The court in Raelia had a record of a trial with an Orc general, and this is widely believed to be the case detailed in the story; but the judge of the court during the real case was different from that in the story, and several details about the court's appearance had been altered in the Pillar despite the building never changing for over 700 years. Many believe the Pillar was based off of this case, which also had a similar result, but may not have been exactly the same.

Pillar of Minri
The third pillar, the Pillar of Minri, tells the story of King Minri of an unnamed Man kingdom.
