Line 48:
''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>''
== Government ==
The Elyriani Realm has always been ruled by Aelthori and during the golden era of the Elyriani Realm in Alathra there was also the Talmus council which oversaw the governship of the expansive domains of the Elyriani. However these days are behind the Elyriani due to their flight from Alathra at the hands of the Grand Lichdom's armies. Due to this Aelthori Fylaena instated rule by decree, something not done for several centuries. This is likely temporary until the Elyriani have reestablished themselves.
=== Aelthori ===
The word Aelthori has no clear direct translation from Elyriani. It can be translated literally to mean 'the mighty power' in reference to the power the Aelthori wield over the Elyriani. This position is comparable to a dual monarchy. There have usually been two Aelthori ruling together throughout Elyriani history. However the position is not always hereditary, it can be left to a descendent but sometimes if this is an unsuitable option the Aelthori will choose who succeed them based on preference. For example this is the case with Aelthori Fylaena. Fylaena was seen as a suitable 'neutral' candidate due to the lack of political engagement from her family thus far (at least this is how her family is percieved) and her extensive knowledge and popular works on Elyriani culture. However many rumours abound that she seduced the previous Aelthori however others state this is simply a political tactic by her rivals to delegitimise her. And still further others claim her acension to Aelthori is merely an attempt by the University to extend its influence further over the Elyriani Realm. {{Template:Imperial Federation}}
