An obscure Elf realm that encompassed Laskal and Jolar in the Dawn Age

  • Its core was in what is now the Mirelos Jungle
  • It would have been plagued by the Double Hydra and the Orange Pyrohydra
  • It ruled over the Pine forests in Taluk Mormandak and by extension Worofey
  • It may have ruled over Esla and Moino
  • It would have suffered in Aldrya's Woe
  • Taluk Mormadak was the source of notable strife in Mirelos.
  • Esla was the site of terrible elf wars.
  • Ultimately the woods were destroyed.
  • Comment: This may have been caused by the Sunstop
  • They were hostile to the Veldang of Fonrit
  • They seem to have conquered or supported conquest of the humans of western Laskal in 478 ST.
  • Comment:
  • The conquerors are said to have come from Elamle, which means Miirdek and Novarooplia
  • They were motivated by hostility of the Artmali of Fonrit.
  • The allies would have had to march through Mirelos.
  • Why Old Mirelos did not send troops themslves is not known.
  • A possible explanation is weakness or destruction of Old Mirelos leading to renewed conflicts over a previously stable border between western Laskal and the Aldryami.
  • Garangordos returned after conquering Fonrit and defeated Aldryami at the Battle of the Trees in 525 ST
  • Old Mirelos became superseded by the Elf Empire in the Imperial Age but the circumstances are unclear.
  • Comment: When did Old Mirelos cease to exist? Before the conquest of Laskal? As a result of the Battle of the Trees? Or as a result of the destruction of the Elf Empire?
