📜 Lore Entry: The Lysarin Empire and the High Elves (2054 Archive Edition) Source: Dr. López, Senior Archivist, UNC Paranormal Relations Division

Introduction The Lysarin Empire is arguably the most terrifyingly powerful magical superpower known to the United Nations Coalition (UNC). Dominated and ruled exclusively by the High Elves, the Empire is built on principles of magical supremacy, genetic purity, and a theology that justifies extreme cruelty in the name of “divine perfection.”

You don’t mess with them. Not because you shouldn’t—but because you can’t. If they look at you wrong, you better start writing your will.

High Elf Mythos: Divine Cruelty Unlike Earth’s mythologies, the High Elves tell a very different story of origin. In their version of Eden, it wasn’t both Adam and Eve who bit the apple—it was only Eve who tasted the fruit of knowledge.

Adam, incensed at this betrayal, killed Eve in cold blood. God, apparently impressed with this act of violent retribution, elevated Adam to become the First High Elf—the “Closest to God.” High Elves interpret this myth literally. They believe they were forged in God’s perfect image and that cruelty, when calculated and logical, is divine.

This isn't just lore—it’s national policy.

Eugenics & Social Hierarchy Perfection is enforced with eugenics. If you’re born weak, malformed, or magically deficient, expect sterilization at best—or extermination at worst.

The Wood Elves, seen as “imperfect elves,” were enslaved long ago. Their history? Erased. In High Elven culture, calling someone a “Wood Elf” is like calling them human garbage: useless, but maybe worth keeping around for menial labor. Wood Elf lives are cheap, and that's being generous.

Magic-Tech: The Empire’s Arsenal The Lysarin Empire doesn’t rely on traditional technology. Instead, they blend arcane mastery with machinery—commonly called Magitech.

We use tanks. They use autonomous war golems.

We fly jets. They ride levitating battleships powered by bound elementals.

We launch rockets. They teleport entire battalions across star systems.

We colonize planets. They own dungeon floors that are literally galactic in size.

They've even set up full-blown planetary colonies in multiversal-class dungeon floors. Wrap your head around that.

Human Interaction: A Comedy of Errors First contact was in 2029. The High Elves weren’t threatened—they were amused. They let us live because we were too stupid to pose a threat, but just smart enough to be useful.

Case in point: they tricked human adventurers into fighting their civil war against the Drow, a breakaway faction of High Elves who believed their own people were too cruel.

Humans, being humans, wiped out an entire civilization… and then got gaslit into thinking it was a “noble victory.” Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. The High Elves used us as pawns and paid us in shiny coins and smug looks.

Suspension of the Geneva Convention In 2031, the UN Security Council made a unanimous decision:

“The Geneva Convention is hereby suspended for all engagements involving High Elves.”

You heard that right. War crimes are legal when dealing with the Lysarin Empire. Not because we’re monsters, but because they are so much worse. If you fight a High Elf, you will need every dirty trick humanity ever invented… and even then, you’re probably still going to die horribly.

Merc Work: High Pay, High Humiliation Despite the history of genocide, enslavement, and cruelty, the High Elves still hire humans as mercs, contractors, and “entertainers.” Why? Because they overpay.

Like… way too much.

A single courier run through a dungeon floor for a High Elf noble could fund an entire adventuring guild for a year. The catch? You’ll probably be called a “talking dog” the whole time and have to bow before a teenage elf who thinks your bloodline smells like fungus.

And yet… humans keep showing up.

Conclusion The Lysarin Empire is not our friend. They are not our ally. They are not even our enemy in a traditional sense. They are a cosmic apex predator—and we’re tolerated pets at best.

If you're a soldier, merc, or dungeon delver reading this log:

Do not engage unless absolutely necessary. Do not negotiate unless well-compensated. And do not, under any circumstances, think they respect you.

End of Transmission. (Dr. López, 2054)

🗂️ Incident Report 1 — “Glass Requiem” Filed By: Russian Ministry of Defense, Directorate of Extradimensional Affairs Classification: Top Secret Date of Incident: March 14, 2051 Location: Floor 73, Zone: EZ (Europe Zone), Pripyat Sublevel Involved Parties:

Russian Spetsnaz Unit Alpha-7

Lysarin Empire “Crystalline Guard” Detachment

French Foreign Legion (recon support)

Victims: Russian Soldiers, French operatives, Human civilians, Goblin slave labor

Overview: Russian and French forces attempted to dismantle a Lysarin artifact excavation site suspected of powering “mind corruption fields.” The Lysarin High Elves responded with a brutal pre-emptive strike, employing soul-glass shards—crystalline weapons that cause excruciating pain by freezing nerve impulses mid-scream.

Timeline: 08:05 (Moscow Time): Spetsnaz forces enter site, encountering heavy magical interference. Goblin slaves used as disposable shields.

08:42: French Legionnaires report hallucinations of “endless mirrors reflecting their deaths.” Psychological stress leads to multiple friendly fire incidents.

09:00: Lysarin detachment activates “Soul Prism” barrier, trapping enemy forces.

09:13: Crystalline Guard deploys “Shardstorm”—a deadly rain of soul-glass fragments that incapacitate but leave no visible wounds.

09:25: Casualty extraction impossible; survivors captured and “reeducated” via magical compulsion.

09:45: Russian command orders fallback; heavy losses sustained.

Evidence & Cover-Up: Lysarin forces used illusion magic to erase all evidence of engagement. Captured Russian soldiers returned months later with memories altered and allegiance shifted, denying any conflict took place. French operatives’ logs were mysteriously “corrupted” upon upload.

Casualties: Russian Spetsnaz: 34 KIA, 18 captured

French Legion: 12 WIA, 5 MIA

Goblin Slaves: Estimated 120 KIA

Lysarin Forces: Minimal, unknown

Brazilian Special Forces “Falcão”

Lysarin Empire “Ebon Veil” Assassins

Local Amazonian Wood Elf tribes (victims)

UN Observers (non-combatant)

Overview: Brazilian forces were deployed to investigate the disappearance of several villages deep within the dungeon’s Amazonian floors. They encountered Lysarin Ebon Veil assassins conducting purges on Wood Elf communities—referred to disparagingly by the Lysarin as “imperfect simians.”

Timeline: 22:00 (Brasília Time): Brazilian troops ambushed in thick jungle by magical shadow blades that phase through armor.

22:15: Survivors report seeing “ghostly high elves” erasing Wood Elf villages by incinerating homes with “ethereal fire.”

22:45: Brazilian command attempts air extraction; helicopters jammed by Lysarin arcane interference.

23:00: Ebon Veil uses “Mindflare”—a psychic weapon that causes victims to attack allies in a frenzy. Several Brazilian soldiers fatally wounded by friendly fire.

23:30: Brazilian unit retreats with heavy casualties; Wood Elf survivors captured and taken for “re-education.”

Evidence & Cover-Up: Lysarin operatives obliterated physical evidence with arcane purifiers that reduced organic material to ash without trace. Brazilian government faced diplomatic pressure to downplay the incident after UN observers mysteriously withdrew citing “security concerns.”

Casualties: Brazilian Special Forces: 27 KIA, 15 WIA

Wood Elf Civilians: Approximately 90 KIA, 40 captured

Lysarin Assassins: Unknown but minimal

🗂️ Incident Report 3 — “The Neon Abyss” Filed By: U.S. Department of Defense, Special Paranormal Division Classification: Classified (Level 5 Clearance) Date of Incident: June 2, 2054 Location: Floor 42, Zone: ASZ (Asia Zone), Neo-Tokyo Ruins Involved Parties:

United States Joint Task Force Omega

Lysarin Empire “Silver Covenant” battalion

Chinese PLA Paranormal Division

Victims: Humans, Dwarves, Cybernetic enhancements contractors
