Elyras also known by the names Elyriani Realm (Syferau Elyriani in Elyriani) or Elyria, is a small state located in the west of Deluvia.
History
Foundation
The Elyriani were forced to travel the seas once more following the destruction of Elyris due to the invading armies of the Grand Lichdom. Those who survived and escaped including the Aelthori, were forced to set sail with the Elyriani fleet beyond the edge of Alathra once more.
Determined to find a new safe harbour the Elyriani fleet sailed to the edge of the world where they passed over into a new plane (CivMC) in a great storm. The ships managed to find refuge in a nearby bay, laying anchor at one of the islands.
Although this island was unsuitable for habitation, the Elyriani found a hidden luscious cave which kept them safe from the elements. The arrival of these new elfs is spreading throughout the region and Elyriani scouts report other human settlements nearby. The Elyriani have begun construction of their new Elyris.
Myhfaer Fylaena was acquired by Aelthori Fylaena after a deed (In game book by Rocketboy100) was given to her by the last dying inhabitant of the fort discovered by scouts. This map is in the region known as Otonabee Bay
Current State of Affairs
Currently the Elyriani realm is preoccupied with construction of their capital Elyris and establishing themselves in Deluvia. Slowly the standard of life for those who were ship wrecked onto the shores of Deluvia.
The Elyriani
Elyriani Elves are a distinct subgroup of Elves who came from another plane of existence, Alathra. Before Alathra they came from a sunken continent. Elyriani Elves live for approximately 300-400 years although for some individuals they mave live longer but no Elyriani has been documented to live more than 600 years. Elyriani will age the same as humans up to the age of 25 from which they will stay that age appearance until approx 270 where their physical appearance may begin to decline depending on the individual. On average a 370 year old Elyriani will look like a 60-65 year old human.

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
''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''
