- WE ARE ELVES!"
Those words rang through the minds of all of the Elves whom were ready to head into their new home, the island of Liyue in the world named Astrea, named after the deceased goddess of the Stars. The words felt empowering, making them feel like they could do anything, yet simultaneously felt serious and severe, making the Elves understand the gigantic weight on their shoulder that is guiding their race.
Each of the Elves walked near a Unicorn, petting them and caressing their fur, the Unicorns neighed in excitement as their bodies shined, magical energy dancing around them. The Faires all found themselves on top of the shoulder of an Elf, floating. With slow but steady and firm steps, the six Elves walked through the teleportation gate with their Unicorns and Faires in tow.
"Remember, Nature is our greatest ally!" Ezreal's serene words rang through their ears as the gate disappeared. A slight faulter in their eyes which was quickly replaced with excitement at exploring their new home and learning about the world, magic and nature.
The Elves looked around, spotting a thin mana barrier surrounding the entire island. This barrier was designed to make the purified and high quality mana not leak out of the island and alert other races. The more pure and high quality of mana, the stronger it is to use and it is also much more efficient. Higher quality mana also increases the health of those who are within it, whether that be Humans,Elves,Dragons or even beings like Flowers or Monsters such as Frost Hypostasis and Flame Regisvine. It also worked as a barrier that defended the island against attacks at the Arch-Mage level or below.
The six Elves quickly split into three groups of two. Each group a man and women with the same hair-colour. Then, the three groups split into 3 different directions, planning to explore the island alongside their Unicorns and Faires, and then planning to meet up at the Tree Of Life to tell each-other what they found.
Thus began the Elves Beginnings in the world of Astrea!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time waits for no-one, well no-one except Ezreal and the Primordial Chaos. Time is a toy to those two.... Anyhow, as time passes, people and things evolve.
With no-one to speak to, Ezreal spent most of his time doing nundane things like learning drawing and painting and learning how to play the various instruments in existence and singing. Sure, Ezreal could use his Omnipotence to instantly learn all of those to the level of the best in existence, but then he would have nothing to do aside from slowly watch his race grow.
With endless time and resources on his hands, Ezreal enjoyed his slow and mundane life quite alot, learning and watching his Elven children grow. However, to his Elven children, time has passed too quickly.
The first 5 years of the six Elves and their partners were spent touring the entire island. From the deserts and walking through sandstorms, to the freezing cold area and walking through snowstorms, to the constantly thunder-storming mountains later named Inazuma. The Elves travelled the lands in these five years, meeting a variety of different monsters formed both naturally by the mana and elements in the air such as Golems, Elemental Spirits and Frost Hypostasis to unnaturally formed monsters due to the conjunction of two creatures such as Snow Wolves and Thunder Panthers.
Due to the Elves' natural connection to nature alongside their partnership with Unicorns and Faires, these Elves had no problem befriending all of these animals. To the Elves, the meat of animals wasn't as appealing as natural vegetation and fruits and since most of the aggressive monsters who attacked Elves were situated in specific points, they rarely ate meat. Ezreal had decided upon putting some aggressive monsters on the island as he wanted to make sure the Elves had a good understanding of combat between not only eachother, but monsters of various shapes, sizes and combat styles in order to prepare them for the wider world.
The Elves took their time with their lives, as their lifespans were very long. The Original Six Elves had a boosted lifespan of 20,000 years due to being the Original Six Elves. All Elves after that had a lifespan of 10,000 years, this may seem long, but not really.
Dragons had a lifespan of 100,000 years.
Demons had a lifespan of 7,500 years as well.
Vampires had an infinite lifespan.
Beastmen, depending on their animals, have a lifespan of 2,500 years to 5,000 years.
Thus, the 10,000 year lifespan of Elves was fine. And all beings could increase their lifespan more and more by getting stronger and stronger and reaching new realms with Arch-Mages having a near basically endless lifespan unless they are gravely injured in both body and soul.
After these 5 years, the Elves settled down and began building houses to stay and cultivating crops. 10 years after their initial arrival on the island, Ezreal had sent down more Elves onto the island.
100 Elves with Purple Hair ( 50/50 )
100 Elves with Golden Hair ( 50/50 )
100 Elves with Green Hair ( 50/50 )
The colour of their hair, although the same colour as their predecessors, wasn't as vibrant as the original six as Ezreal wanted to distinguish the original six Elves from the rest of the pack. As time passed, the Elves all got used to their lives on the island. From cultivating crops, learning combat and studying magic. Due to the racial attribute that Elves were naturally better at weaponry and using magic, the combat ability of the Elves were quickly rising, in not only cultivation but actual fighting ability.
From being barely able to kill monsters, now the strongest Elves, the Original Six, could effortlessly sweep entire legions of monsters using their precise but deadly magic and their swift weaponry abilities. Unbeknownst to them all, Magic Warriors ( those who use weapons and magic simultaneously ) are very rare in the outside world as you must split time between getting better at using the weapon and getting more proficient with using it alongside mana and strengthening their bodies and they must also learn magic, thus making Magic Warriors rare.
Eventually, the first romance sprouted on the Elven island after 25 years. This romance was between Raphaeline and Barbatos, the two Original purple haired Elven male and female. They were incredibly compatible, due to both being excellent users of the lightning element and both being the strongest in their gender at combat, both in magic and weaponry combat that is. Due to this, they loved to hunt and explore together, and eventually their constant being together sprouted into a magnificent romance. Their announcement was very much welcomed by the other Elves, even if there was a little awkwardness related to sex and other intimate affairs.
50 years after the original Elves arrived on Liyue, all 6 of the original Elves had became couples with their opposite gender with the same coloured hair. To celebrate 50 years on Liyue, the Elves threw a massive celebration for all of the Elves which finished off in a gigantic announcement. It turned out the six original Elves decided to each create their own Kingdoms which form a massive Elven Empire jointly ruled by the 3 Kingdoms. They had learned about Kingdoms from the memories that their god, Ezreal had implanted into them
Barbatos and Raphaeline, the two purple haired Elves, decided to move to the constantly Thunder-Storming region of Inazuma and form their Kingdom near there, naming it the Inazuma Kingdom ruled by the Miko Clan, as Miko was the last name Barbatos and Raphaeline created for themselves and the purple haired Elves.
Noctis and Lunafreya, the two golden haired Elves, decided to move to a snowy region named Blizzgard and form their Kingdom there, naming it to Snezhnaya Kingdom ruled by the Rivelea Clan, as Rivelea was the last name Noctis and Lunafreya chose for themselves and the golden haired Elves.
Seraphine and Ashborn, the two Green Haired Elves, decided to move to forest region named the Sumeru Forest and form their kingdom there, naming it the Sumeru Kingdom ruled by the Argus Clan, as Seraphine and Ashborn chose Argus as the last name of them and their Green haired people.
These three kingdoms would form the Elven Empire named Teyvat.
The three Elven Kingdoms formed a triangle shape, with the middle of the triangle leading to a massive city, the Capital City of the Teyvat Empire, Mondstadt. This City was a city in the middle of the three Empires and would act as a trade city, but also it would act as a city that surrounding the Tree Of Life, Spring of Life and the Grand Temple of Ezreal.
Thus began the Elven Empire
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The construction of the Elven Empire Teyvat was a long and a seemingly endless one. The Elves combined the materials such as stone and metal and magic to build the entire kingdoms and empire. From houses, to libraries, to training areas, to garden areas, the magic towers, the schools , to the Imperial Castles, the Kingdoms construction moved quickly. The most important construction however, was the joint construction of the Grand Temple of Ezreal. The three Kingdoms worked extensively to make sure the Grand Temple of Ezreal lived up to their God.
After a large amount of years, the three Kingdoms and by extension, the Empire was operating fully. The Empire was populated by an immense amount of Elves, all of whom had their own work. Some Elves built roads, bridges and pathways whilst others worked in the forestry, planting and gardening. Some Elves worked as scouts with their trusty partners, the Phantasmal Eagle. Phantasmal Eagles were Eagles that would go invisible whenever they want. They were much faster than other monsters and had immensely powerful senses that could see, hear and smell incredible distances. Phantasmal Eagles were the perfect scouts, and the Elven Empire had all of their scouts form partnerships with them and learn how to fight and work together with Phantasmal Eagles.
There were schools in the Elven Empire, where young Elves would spend there time learning a variety of things. From learning about their God, Ezreal and his different names. To learning the Geography of the Island, the different types of animals and their strengths and weaknesses. The different types of plants and herbs and their effects and also other things such as Mathematics and their language. Finally, all Elves were given combat training up to the Intermediate Level of combat and cultivation.
After graduating this school, most Elves would be around 50 years old, which was very very young for the Elven Race. Then, Elves would decide their specialization. Whether it was Weaponry, Magic , or both if they wanted to become a Magic Warrior. There was also other routes such as Teacher, Gardener, Enchanter, Formation Master, Alchemist and many other jobs available for the Elves.
All of these jobs required higher education, which was completely free to all Elves and was given in the Morax School of Higher Education, located in Mondstadt. Students would they be in this school for an unspecified period of time until they would graduate and go out into the world, working and living their life.
This was the life of the Elves!
