Background

Eltmur is a country in the Alton region that is about the size of Austria. The country was formerly an empire that conquered several of its neighbors, including Valithea, before its leaders were killed by the Silver King in an impromptu coup d'état. According to those who witnessed the event such as Remus Corbeau, the Silver King had chosen not to intervene with the country's affairs before reversing his stance and dismantling the ruling powers. However, the Silver King's recollection of events purposes that he was deceived and targeted for murder by the royals, and he destroyed them as retribution without knowledge of their other atrocities. For the past four or five years, the Silver King has ruled the country, restored independence to previously conquered regions, and deliberately dismantled many aspects of its former society such as abolishing slavery.

Eltmur under the old government is described as an imperialistic, human-dominated nation.

The army’s heavy toll on Eltmur’s population meant that slavery and indentured servitude were widespread and women were stripped of most human rights. Meryl told Helga that if women tried to learn to read that they would be put to death. Helga notes that there are a lot of women in Alivast who are refugees from Eltmur.
