The Elven Migration

Almost 300 years before the Great Flood, seven families of sun elves left the banks of Handa'ksh to search for a new home. The plague had destroyed their homes, and they were distrustful of the new dark elves that had recently surfaced. They sailed west in search of a similar climate to the now-ravaged lands of Handa'ksh.

It was seven long weeks before they arrived at the eastern banks of Na 'Dor. The elves that survived the journey were covered in their own filth, starving, and scared.The human workers that first spotted them were hesitant to approach. It was well known even in Na 'Dor that the elves looked down upon the human race and took them into their homes as slaves. Not knowing what to do with the elves, the humans took them to the capitol city of Xalyon's Crest. The families pleaded their case to Kendrix Payme, then ruler of Na 'Dor.

The families took many vows that day in order to sway Kendrix Payme into letting them stay in the walled city. In exchange for providing the elves safety and homes, they pledged to use their knowledge of commerce and magick to boost the economy and trade in Na 'Dor. They vowed not to take slaves into their housholds, but instead to pay their human servants fair wages. In addition, the seven families also pledged their faith to Pelor, agreeing to tithe and attend temple services regularly.

Kendrix set aside a small portion of the massive, walled city for the elves. Soon both the families and the city itself flourished to greatness. It was Toran, son of Kendrix and father of Shameus, who appointed Califast Sindarin to the newly established position of Chancelor of Commerce. Califast endeared himself to the aging Toran and took over many of the responsibilities of ruling the wealthiest city in the Known World.
