The Start of the ESF and Elunism

7 nomading, 3 male and 4 female, elves had been told a prophecy that where an white tree that grew golden fruit would provide the founding for a civilization that would change the world. For several years the elves roamed, looking for this majestic place. Finnaly after 8 years and 8 days of searching, they wandered upon the white tree. It was then that a young elven girl pointed out that golden oranges and apples were growing upon the tree. After spending the rest of the day debating if this was the indeed the prophecised land, and not a coincedence, the elves began the first steps of creating a community. The next week was spent collecting wood form the local forests, and constructing buildings. When finsihed with the construction, they decided to name the community Gladerial.

After creating this community, the elves decided to grow their community, and thus paired up, excluding the young girl. To celebrate these pairings, each pair took a piece of fruit from the white tree and took a bite of it. Normally this would of been the right thing to do considering the elves relgion, but the prophet who told the elves about the white tree also proclaimed that they were never to eat from the tree, or else their immortality would be stricken from them. Immiedately after biting into their fruit, each elf lost thier eternal life, except for the young girl. The elves continued on with thier lives, producing offspring, and eventually thier wasn't enough space left in Gladerial and the elves began to branch out, each community setting up its own government and customs.

The young girl who did not eat from the white tree went on and lived a completely virtuous life, and was granted to become a Goddess by the Unspoken Ones. Her name was Elune, and learning from the original elves story, each elf from there on out tried to live their life like Elune. This way of life translated into a set of beliefs, and the official relgion became known as Elunism, which 90% of all elves pratice. The other 10% pratice Taoism, which is only tolerated because it supports no diety.

Forming the ESF

Thousands of years went by and the communities of the elves grew and grew without outside interference. This was in part due to the two large forests that circled the nation, effitively isolating it from most of the outside. The communities on the outside of the first first but inside the second became known as "The Outter Kingdom" and its citizens became adept warriors. Over time they grew taller and more muscular than the the elves who lived inside the first forest, becoming the "Inner Kingdom". These small changes in the gentic code came because of the constant warfare between the communities and the Troll and Orc alliance. But in the year 10,000 A.E. metal-clad pinkskins entered the elves domain. When one of these creatures were captured, it identified it and its kind as humans. It told of the many kingdoms of his kind in the outside world and tales of their exploits. The elves becamse so alarmed at these new creatures that the communities swore that if any became under attack from an outside force, that the others would come to its aid. This agreement became known as the Elven Security Alliance. With this new agreement in place, and danger to deal with, the elves began to spill all their recources into advancing weaponry and armor. This arms revolution, lead to many useful tools that the citizens could use in their everyday life. This time also gave rise to many fighting academys, in which one of the nations legendary heros traine, Jas Hatire.

Modern Times

The elves eventually made an uneasy peace with the "humans" and their cousins the "dwarves" and "hobbits" or halfings. A few adventrous elves dared to explore this outside world, and when they returned with artifacts and tales of the outside world, they became instant heroes. They told their countrymen that they lived in a region called "The Youngworld" and that there were many human and elven kingdoms alike in the outside world. The elves, intruiged by the tales, began to engage in diplomatics with these outside nations. For the most part, the diplomatics were peaceful, but the nation somehow developed rivalries with others. None of these are more infamous than Tyranny. Multiple wars were fought amongst the nations for various reasons, even one for the leaders of the respected nations being related. Overtime, with the threat of conflict minamizing, the nation changed its name to the Elves Security Forces, reflecting the current politcal clamness and modern times.

A civil war broke out when Rosemary Angelotic, who was assumed dead with the rest of the House of Angelotics, lead a revolution in Gladerial. The Angelotic family had ruled the ESF since 16,789 A.E, but in 18,111 a group of radicals lead a revolution. Though the revolution was quickly put down, the radicals had infiltrated into the Angelotic mansion and had killed everyone, or so it was thought. Rosemary had hidden in the closet, and had fled to Chronorica till her return. When she returned, her operatives killed every Senator when they planeted a bomb in the Senate chambers during election day, and every member of the Military Council, except Edmund Duke and Demot Aldragian, when they shot down their plane heading to a peace summit. They had also tried to assinate the Zeratul Raynor, the current Great leader at that time, but failed as doctors saved his life in surgery.

In a quick a radical move, Tobias Raynor had the Dark Bows (the nations most secret agency) find his mother who held the codes to the cloning facilities. When he had the codes, he created a vast clone army, with starships and mechs. Intimidated slightly by the quick creation of the powerful new army, Rosemary agreed to meet Tobias in a secret location to negotiate peace terms. Oversaw by Artanis Raynor, cousin to both Rosemary and Tobias, the two worked out a peace settlement. Rosemary and all her eventual offspring would renounce their claim to the leadership in return for the creation of a memorial for the family. This memorial became the Angelotic Temple in Longview, which doubles as the nations largest football stadium.

International Sports

Long have the citizens of the ESF found enjoyment and entertainment out of various forms of competitions. Though the citizens enjoy a multitude of sports, the favorite by far is Football, or as how some human kingdoms called it Soccer, followed by Hockey. This could be in part due to the recent success of the national teams. The Marauders ( the Football national team ) won back to back Assegai Invitationals, and 3rd place in the 2005 (human year) Fort Europe Galaxy Cup. The Calcuttas ( Hockey national team ) also won the 2006 BNW Cup, and looks like its on its way to back to back championships. The Marauders have entered their first NSWC, World Cup 29 and the Calcuttas have entered their first Cheery Cup.
