[center][b][u]Of the Elven Imperium and of Elves[/u][/b]

	To the north east of Formaroth is the continent of Beilokias which is controlled by the Elven Imperium. Beilokias has a warm, arid climate, similar to the Middle East of today, and is roughly, half the size of Formaroth. The citizens of the Elven Imperium are almost entirely made up of an Elven populace. 

	However, the populace of slaves in Beilokias is much more diverse, and consists of various races from across the known world. There is much speculation among the common people of the appearance of Elves, and many folk-tales tell very different, and conflicting views. 

	Elves are actually dark, blue skinned, with pointed ears, and long-stretched, angular faces. Their hands have three fingers, and are more like claws than fingers. Most elves are shorter than humans by around 30cm. The Elven Imperium is the only other continent that interacts with Formaroth on a notable level. 

	This is on a minimum level, compared to how much the Imperium interacts with other continents. The level of trade has greatly decreased ever since slavery was made illegal in Formaroth, as the Elven culture relies heavily on slavery. Other than slaves, there is very little in the terms of valuable goods within Formaroth that are worth crossing the vast sea that separates Formaroth from Beilokias. Even so, most owners of the few good’s that may interest an Elven trader (such as dwarven metal) are reluctant to part with them, due to the high demand, and the pretty coin the item would turn in any of Formaroth’s cities.
