== Surrounding Area ==
The dense and endless forest of the '''''Elanien kingdom''''' might remind you of an eerie folktale. Predators with razor-sharp tongues lurk in the underbrush, charming water-maidens called Vodyanitsya lure in unsuspecting passersby, and the crowns of trees abound with nests woven of bones. But underneath the creepiness of it all, you’ll find that everything falls into a natural order. To survive in these lands, you must respect the interconnections that make this ecosystem work, you ought to watch each other’s back, and you need to guard these dreadful woods - with all your elanien might - from something far more terrifying. 

== History ==
The story began when the Elaniens fell out of a portal in the middle of a forest. A few survived and found a home, but they were unsafe from the murk at night.
Rangers learned to communicate with nature and discovered new homesteads for the community. They created Light-emitting contraptions, forcing the murk to retreat.
Sometimes, something dangerous fell out of the portal. This time, however, everything went haywire before the rangers could find out what happened. Wave after wave, beasts of all kinds came out, tearing apart everything and drenching the forest in blood. The rangers gathered the escapees and led them to the rivers. Overcrowded boats and hastily built rafts set off downstream.
Hundreds of refugees from all over Elan gathered on rocky islands. In desperate need of hope, they took the last of their food supplies and feasted. The Elaniens then crowned their leader of heroes who led them out of the clutches of death. The Elanien King's crown was a hoop from a wine barrel during the feast. 
At that coronation site stands Leitana - the city built atop the cliffs.
The king rules the Elaniens to this day. He can often be found, leading a detachment of his most experienced comrades in arms.

-{{quotation|The Elaniens had been sieved out by natural selection long before they had any kingdom. Having fallen out of a portal in the middle of a dense untouched forest, it was near impossible for any of them to survive. They faced peril at every turn: falling prey to a never-before-seen animal, having your feet broken by protruding roots that permeate this land, eating wild berries when you’re dying of hunger. Only a few were able to overcome it all.|website|https://corepunk.com/en/news/article/22}}

-==History==
-The first Elaniens fell into [[Kwalat]] from a portal in the [[Valley of Sins]]. The survivors found lodging but were still unsafe from the crawling murk at night.<br>
-[[Ranger]]s learned to become one with nature and discovered villages for the community. These villages created light-emitting devices, used to push back the crawling murk.<br>
-Later, many enemies fell out of the portal. Rangers lead survivors to the safety of the river, where they set off overcrowded rafts in search of salvation. The Elanien refugees gathered on the islands of [[Leitana]], and hosted a communal feast with their remaining supplies. During the feast, the Elaniens crowned their King with the hoop from the first opened wine barrel.<br>
-The King still rules Elan to this day.

-{{blockquote|The power and splendor of Elan are in the devices that harness the energy of plants without causing harm. Elanien technologies are impressive in their magnificence: ornately woven metal, containing the deadly force of light particles.|website|https://corepunk.com/en/news/article/22}}
+The story began when the Elaniens fell out of a portal in the middle of a forest. A few survived and found a home, but they were unsafe from the murk at night.
-Elaniens believe in unity - holding each other accountable for their actions. They view themselves as part of a complex ecosystem. As such, they try to protect the forest and never disrupt natural order.<br>
+Rangers learned to communicate with nature and discovered new homesteads for the community. They created Light-emitting contraptions, forcing the murk to retreat.
-Keepers are responsible for sealing away objects or monsters created by the portal. [[Luceaiders]] guard Elan and its river system from enemies using the [[Luceaiders#The Bastion|Bastion]].
