The Remnant of the Great Elven Kingdom
Synopsis
A radical elven movement that believes the old kingdom can be reclaimed through violence, sacrifice, and unending resistance.
What People Know
The Remnant of the Great Elven Kingdom is a loose but dangerous network of elves who reject seclusion and accommodation. They believe the fall of the Great Elven Kingdom was not an end, but a betrayal—and that humans now rule lands stolen through blood and fire.
They do not seek coexistence.
They seek reclamation.
Operating in cells, the Remnant carries out thefts, sabotage, and targeted violence against human elites, supply lines, and symbols of authority.

The Remnant is not large, but it is patient.
Every crackdown creates new sympathizers.
Not every elf supports them—but all elves suffer when they strike.
Stopping one arms deal does not end a war that exists in memory.
