Estor

The Kingdom of Estor is one of the two elven kingdoms of Izea. Based on the eastern coast of the continent, and north of the Spring Sea it is one of the more elder formed nations of Izea. Having been formally declared about 160 years after the Awakening and about 700 years after the Divine Revolt.

The Estorian kingdom is known for its military might and outstanding craftsmanship. With a number of mines and dedication of its artisans, some of the finest weaponry, ships, forged and crafted items are made here.

Estor has also always taken a prominent role in the histories of the Orc Incursions and stands as a bulwark along with its close Dreycan allies to the north against any and all orc raids or invasions.

History
The history of Estor starts with the history of the elves themselves, with the Awakening 700 years after the Divine Revolt. Emerging from the underground into the forests of what is now known as Osharia, the first elves of Izea awoke with no memory of how they arrived there nor where they came from but instilled in them a fear of the depths.

From among them, two brothers step forward, twins, as prominent leaders Estorial and Oshar. The two brothers were both very alike yet so different. As Oshar, reserved and gentle, became enchanted by the forests, and the moon, and discovered how to tap into the arcane and to wield it. Estorial, adventurous and charming, came to understand how to use the materials around him to craft magnificent things and in his journeys discovered his love for the sea. With the guidance and skills of the two brothers, the elves built and expanded their domain, reaching from the Frozen Crown all the way down to the Spring Coast. Each brother built and founded a city, Oshar built his in the heart of the forests of Osharia, and Estorial built the other on the Spring Coast.

For many years the elven domain held strong and made good relations with its new fledgeling neighbours as they developed together yet this wasn't to last.
