Just as soon as Zerik ended his explanation regarding the Principality of Messara, Reela came back in and in her hands in a silverware tray with five cups of what appears to be a drink most similar and smells just like tea back on Earth. She placed the tray on top of the table nearby and gestured for everyone's attention,<strong>"here's a couple of tea if anyone feeling thirsty"</strong>, then she joins the rest at the map table.<br/><br/><strong>"Indeed there is"</strong>, Zerik responded to Maya's question about the place called Swamp of Hate although he doesn't seemed to share her amusement and instead arched an eyebrow at her, clearly confused about what made the name so funny that Maya would suddenly laughed at it.<strong>"An ancient place with an ancient name, I've heard from a few scholars studying geography that the name was given by ancient indigenous people who had once settled on that land long before the Nezaroth, and much less the Principality, had even existed and that they're the ones who gave that swamp the name, albeit in their tongue of course, the name Swamp of Hate is simply our translation to the name those forgotten ancient people gave, why or what made them gave it the name, I'm not sure, but it's probably something terrible that occured in that swampy region a long time ago."</strong><br/><br/>Eron was the first to walked over to the silverware tray and picked a cup of tea for himself and was about to rejoin the others in their discussion, before suddenly turning back and taking with him another cup of tea. He then walked over to where Maya is standing and offered the cup to her, putting up a friendly face in the meanwhile.<br/><br/><strong>"Alright, now that I'm here I'll explain about the New Sylvarin Kingdom, although I think we should take a break after this one and continue on later, don't you agree?"</strong>, Reela said as she points out the question to Agarth who had been quiet thus far. The guildmaster however simply nodded, giving his approval that they should all take a break after Reela's explanation and she turns back to the map, taking a sip from the tea and placed it at the edge of the table.<strong>"Alright then, the New Sylvarin Kingdom is a relatively young nation as I'm sure it's rather obvious by the name itself"</strong>, she chuckled by herself. Zerik on the other hand left his position and went for the tea as well before coming back to rejoin the discussion.<br/><br/><strong>"The New Sylvarin Kingdom is an elven nation that was established almost a hundred years ago by the Elven ruler who goes by the name of Arsol, in this case, Phoenixlord Arsol. One thing you must understand about the hierarchy of elven rulership is that, they always attributed it to some form of majestic creatures with Phoenix being the highest of them all, there's also the Griffinlord, Qirinlord or Dragonlord"</strong>. Unlike Zerik before her, Reela pointed out to the location of the said kingdom on the map, perhaps because she didn't know about the previous arrangement started by Zerik.<strong>"Arsolar is the capital and the only major city of the New Sylvarin Kingdom, and as you might have guessed it's named after the founder of the elven nation, Phoenixlord Arsol"</strong>, Reela points her index finger at the location of the said city.<br/><br/><strong>"Also what you must understand is the fact that, New Sylvarin Kingdom is supposedly the reforged nation of the Ancient Sylvarin Empire that had once ruled from North Western Calderia down to Western Calderia today. It is a proud moment in the history of the elven races because in ancient times, we humans were nothing more than primitive savages living in small wooden villages and in this time, the elves were a very advanced race in terms of technology, culture and arts"</strong>. Reela took a brief respite to catch her breath and took a sip from the tea she brought in before,<strong>"After the fall of the Ancient Sylvarin Empire, many of the elves left Calderia while those that remains lives in a small enclaves in forested areas away from humanity, but a hundred years ago, an elven warlord led a small host to free their oppressed and enslaved kin from the tyranny of the Atherans Empire who had for the longest time taken advantage of the elven population and persecuted them"</strong>, Reela then points at the top right corner of the map, to a territory that's being encompassed by a border of deep green color. This territory it seems is a part of the Atherans Empire as labeled in the map.<br/><br/><strong>"This elven warlord would go on to rally an army of elves with the support of elven sympathizers amongst the human population of Krellon, the old name of the city Arsolar, and fought for the independence of that territory. This elven warlord would then claimed himself as the first Phoenixlord since the fall of the Ancient Sylvarin Empire, the Phoenix Lord Arsol and established the state of New Sylvarin Kingdom"</strong>. Reela nodded to herself again, as if confirming her own knowledge is sufficient enough to explain to Maya and then turning her gaze back to the earthling girl.<strong>"So, I'm thinking you have some questions? no?"</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>HP:</strong>20<br/><strong>Mana:</strong>0<br/><strong>Gold Coins:</strong>0
