Description
The region of Western Oerik once controlled by the "Dragon Empire" eventually fell and became known as the Sundered Empire. The portion still ruled by elves is known as Ravilla and is a successor-state to the Dragon Empire. No longer truly an "empire", Ravilla now is the remaining grey elven city-states, northern wood elf enclaves, and their draconic allies.[2][3]
Ravilla is known for many things, but perhaps most notable is that elves live in harmony with dragons in the same culture.
