Elandria Archive

Overview

Elandria is a large fantasy setting built around sharply different regions, peoples, political systems, and environmental pressures. Its current archive is being rebuilt from older material into a more consistent and balanced canon.

Core Shape

A continent defined by geography

The Spine of the World anchors central Elandria. Broad plains and riverlands spread westward, Menalas Forest dominates the east, the frozen Southlands stretch below, and the Redspire Wasteland forms one of the setting's harshest frontiers.

Each region supports its own political and cultural logic rather than functioning as a cosmetic backdrop.

Major Powers

Current macro-level factions

These names are retained from the existing material, but their details may change during revision.

Illyrian Dominion

A dragon-led power in the Upper Spine with a strongly stratified society centered on draconic lineage.

Dwarrowholds

A network of dwarven cities and holds linked by ambitious infrastructure, trade, and shared governance.

Samanid Confederation

A western alliance of human city-states associated with cavalry, trade, agriculture, and broad political autonomy.

Menalayan Empire

An elven imperial structure containing four major elven powers whose internal rivalry complicates its outward unity.

Redspire Tribes

Orc societies shaped by scarcity, sacred geography, tribal competition, and control of vital resources.

Southlands Powers

Elemental demon societies spread across tundra, coast, foothills, and borderlands, with Kaeryn-no-Han as a major convergence point.
