Sylvan Concordat

From HollowWiki

The Sylvan Concordat is the oldest known civilization of elves in Hollow. Although the Concordat elves appear on the outside exactly like their Kelay-Sage brethren and their descendents they are in fact a separate race of elves with no known contact with outside elves until the settling of Rynvale by the High Elves in the aftermath of the Crown Wars.

The Sylvan Concordat was formed thousands of years ago not long after the first Saurian Empire was founded. The Concordat ruled the entire island of Rynvale and further lands still. Most of their empire was lost over the years. An entire island was lost in a great cataclysm that significantly weakened their empire leading to the abandonment of any colonies and cities not on their island of Oryndel, (which is now known as Rynvale). The extent of their colonies and empire is not known. What is known however is that their empire was formed around a vast and powerful theocracy centring on “The Holy Promise”. What the promise was is a mystery and the decedents of the Concordat flatly refuse to discuss it with outsiders.

The end of Sylvan Concordat was brought about when ogres from the east invaded and destroyed their townships before obliterating their second city and using what remained to found Gamorg. Many ruins were discovered by the settling High Elves around what is now Port Rynvale, these ruins were rebuilt into their city or demolished for resources in the construction effort. Concordat ruins can be round in Northern Rynvale. The largest of these was used as the site for Castle Archmosia.

The remaining elves of the Concordat have since become Forsaken Elves
