==== Origins of the Elyriani ====
Please note the Elyris mentioned here refers to Old Elyris in the Alathra plane, however it is interesting to note the similarity in both tales. Many believe it is a cyclical prophecy that Elyriani will never be able to find a permenant home. Elyris is also credited with guiding the Elyriani to Otanobee bay. She is still worshipped and the Elyriani believe through bringing water and soil from Old Elyris that Elyris the goddess will be able to take root in New Elyris
''<nowiki>''</nowiki>Passed down by those who fled and now passed onto ink. The great epic of the Elyriani begins.''
''In our ancestor’s land all of the elves lived in harmony with themselves and with nature. We became the keepers of the garden and the creatures. We grew wise and knowledgeable. We prospered. The Gods however were not pleased. They had grown conceited and became jealous of the elfs’ achievements; their grand cities, their great libraries and especially their connection to the mortal realm in a way they never could be. Over time so green did their jealous become, they elected it was better to sink them all and the garden too than have to let the elves have it.''
''Great waves of water from beyond the mortal realm crashed upon the shores, in an instant all of the garden was sunk. However the gods had underestimated the elves. For they knew of the Gods’ plans and had sent 100 ships away before the land was sunk. The great storms which had delivered this unworldly apocalypse had unfortunately split the ships up.''
''One ship was lucky enough to be swept by the winds and tide into a bay where an ethereal woman met them. She guided them to a safe spot to settle. When the people asked who she was. She said had come down from the heavenly stars above down into the mortal realm and embedded herself becoming the river and lakes, the very life blood of the land. She said she had done this upon witnessing the great cataclysm unloaded onto our ancestors. In her honour we named her ‘Elyris’, from the stars and to her we dedicate ourselves<nowiki>''</nowiki>''
