Hmm, I don't think elves should be that incompetent.
I mean, do they demand taxes or any form of tribute? I'd imagine they would, it usually goes with having an empire.
That would ensure that at least some level of "law enforcement" by the elves, because their subjects can just threaten to refuse tribute/taxes if the elves start slacking. That way it does involve them.

Well since their empire lasted so long I wouldn't call them incompetent
but things change. you can have a wise ruler building a solid legacy that then will be squandered by another incompetent one. and elves tend to pay little interest to other races in general so that would be the more natural mindset, the one that progressively come back.

Sean : Oh yes very much so

Well let's say that some dridders would start to attack human settlements. The humans would ask elves to intervene since they are in charge but the elves wouldn't care very much and wouldn't move unless it starts creating problems for them as well. after a couple of times, the ruled would come to the conclusion that being under the rules of elves don't bring them much.

Well, I pretty much said that, except with nekos.

What changes are you intending to make overall? So far your idea seems pretty much what I had down.

Hm. I think the point AJ is trying to make is that if the elves don't interfere at all, then wouldn't the humans just fortify their settlements by themselves and pretend the elves aren't even there, instead of going through the bother of revolting? If there were taxes, or some form of tribute, I could see it.

Yeah, pretty much what Zion said is what I meant.

Yes, I think there are taxes. As well, there is, to a degree, enforcement of Elvish laws, which the Elves saw as more fair and progressive.

As well, the Elves would interfere if any of the provinces started attacking each other, not wanting Empires springing up in the middle of their Empire. (Though this eventually happened anyways).

Added more about elven age

Just a few notes from what I see so far -

You confuse the term "decadence" and "decline" - i.e, it should read Historians agree to say Tibon's death marks the beginning of the Elven Empire's slow decline.

As well, you seem to put the Oloonde lakeland as the center of power, with the first Empress being from there. Thus this date seems to be a little out of place.

4269 B.U. – Elven settlers inhabit the Oloonde lakeland.

Is this the complete list of dates for this time frame?

alright indeed I mixed the two words, thanks for the notice.

For the Oloonde region being center of power though, well Kadyns are now residing in Kalichidhen indeed but their clan wasn't born there. it comes from the north as most elves do.

As for the dates, as I wrote on the page this is really subject to change quite a bit still. I'm sure there is many entries I'm going to add over the time as well as hierarchize them ( for example put important dates in bold ). But overall it's mostly how I see the things happening yes.

Impressive. Most impressive!

Hop, new update on the Sagolians and dridder eras
We're getting there ^^

Thought I might try to come up with some history for the malphasites currently in Felarya.
- - -

2704 B.U. - Lady Garengu, matriarch of the Crooked Claw tribe, a minor tribe of malphasites, protests against her peoples use in the Tenebris war. Her cries go unanswered, forcing her to take action. In a daring move, she leads her tribe out of Hell and into Felarya, via a hellmouth located deep within the depths of the Ascarlin mountains.

2698 B.U. - Garengu and her people attempt to find refuge within the Elven Empire, but are denied. Already in disorder due internal uprisings, they are skeptical, partly because of their demonic nature and partly due to the belief that they were in fact spies sent forward before a possible invasion by the forces of Hell. With no where else to turn to, the tribe of the Crooked Claw begin their long march across Felarya, an event that will come to be known as "Trail of the Exiles" by their own people.

2422 B.U. - The "Trail of the Exiles" comes to an end. Talks between Lady Garengu of the malphasites and Queen Charssadha occur, and it is agreed to that Crooked Claw tribe shall become a subservient provence of the Dridder Empire. The fortified city of Stormhaven is soon constructed near the Kjol cliffs, near the western edge of the Dridder forest. In return for protection and trade in raw materials, the malphasites construct and enchant weapons and armor for the dridders.

I looked at that and saw' lady gaga'.

Edited it a bit to reduce the time span. As for the rest, I figured that the war effort would prevent a major force from being sent out, though a few bagalluk would indeed be sent out.
