History
Gwardan was the product of two elven peoples seeking a new home following the banishment of Uk'otoa in the fifth century PD. Elves of the Ki'Nau, who had lived under Uk'otoa, joined an influx of Marquesian elves to settle this unclaimed, metal-rich land at the edge of the Cyrios Mountains.[1] As a result of these desert and tropical origins, elves from Gwardan tend to have darker complexions than those of the more northerly Bysaes Tyl.[3] Yussa Errenis was of Gwardan descent.[4]
When the Clovis Concord was established, Gwardan was the driving force ensuring that each city-state remained autonomous.[1]
