Adurra!

Þórdórýgerður Álfarsnórtur is the encyclopedic collective work on old and contemporary Álfar culture worldview, done by me (an Álfur of course, do I even have to say that?).

This is the collection of knowledge about the Great Universe, Eýkarranhnír, and every aspect surround it - under my viewpoint, the Þyóðlegurnorn of Álfarsland. The viewpoint itself, is influenced -partly, largely or totally- by the cultural viewpoint of the Álfar (well I'm the Þyóðlegurnorn, so...). Álfarsland and the Álfar have the role as the center of it. In this case, the knowledge, or the stories which are told based on that knowledge are often limited inside the interaction between the Álfar with the rest of the world in which ways the knowledge and wisdom is gathered. As a result, locationally they often happen in Álfarsland or other places that the Álfar have a certain connection to, surround the Álfar ,our cultural and religious universalis. On the larger scale, it could be the world of Álfyarinn, or even the entire universe, but still lay inside our perspective. And also, describe the development progress of the culture and its presentative nations as well as our sphere of influence.

The word that people use to call me anyway is Þórdórýgerður - Þórdórýgerður Sigríður Guðrúnsdóttir, the Þyóðlegurnorn of Álfarsland.

This is my great work, plz don't steal. Or...

Honestly, Þórdórýgerður isn't great at writing, no Þórdórýgerður is not being humble or inconfident, it's a truth. Also the reason why Þórdórýgerður make this, not "admirable masterpiece written by a extraordinary spirit." (I see people praise some classical literature works by that way, or even some contemporary works) or "great mind writing great ideas for great reasons of blablabla", phfffff. The reason I made this is for creating task for me to do (sometimes I have nothing to do) and also writing things is Þórdórýgerður's favourite thing to do. Þórdórýgerður may write not really well, but with Þórdórýgerður it is fun. A hobby. Sometime interesting to spend time on.

Situation and Ambition
When the Age of Enlightenment swept over the Great Continent. Feudalism, the authorities of kings and knights, the power of law and force over the urge of freedomwas, witnessing its own declination. The ecclesiastical influence lost its own absolution. New ideas flourish. Art, culture, society, politic changes. Technology are advancing in a way that noone has ever seen before, no more being hindered by religious authority. Alchemy, shipbuilding, warfare, economy,... every changes. Be it makes things better or worse. Things are changing.

Pride of an legacy that last for centuries didn't vanish, monarchies and theoracies never accept its own declination. Wind may blow the opposite way, but they still strong. And now, the Great Continent has become the gunpowder barrel of the entire Eýkarranhnír. The newly formed republics, the old kingdoms and the once-powerful empires, the arbitrary theoracies, the wealth-desiring merchant republics and the long-standing magicracies, every single nation take advance of its own opportunity and chance in the new situation of the world, when the order of the old world was weakened and began to collapse.

And now, the Álfar are standing at the begin of a new era.

The Álfar culture itself, is obsessed by its people's history and the old belief. We used to seen them as brothers. They promised us the fair share of wealth and glory; benevolent rule and protection from the stronger power at the other side of the ocean that we can rely on. But the perfect machine of history had reveal their actual will of oppressing and exploiting us to the deepest of the hole in response to our trust; building their wealth and prosperity on our blood and poverty; ignore all of our pledge and left us being unslaved or die in the cruelty of poorness. Time has passed. But history doesn't dissapear, they form the present, and together with the present, they formed the future. The Álfar with all of the enthusiasm of finding our own place in the new era going for the quest of the New World; seeking for a better life and following the call of wealth; get stronger on the fields of land and dominate the surface of the ocean; rise to the homepower of industry and trade; the golden center of culture and advancement; and from the darkness of history, we will let them see what the Álfar can do.

_ Discovery new lands: for centuries the Western side of Álfarsland is unknown. Our sense of curiousity are urging us to headed to the uncharted land as over there there could be resourceful and fertile lands with many opportunities are waiting as well open new trade and exchange routes to new nations.

_ Sent willing Álfar and take control of the New World: Álfar settlers, colonist, conquistador, trader shall establish our influence and rule, expand our territory. We will take the advancement and potential that new land give us and start to build a great power of the worlds.

_Manage diplomacy and bring benefit to us. Forming trading companies before steering our trade to far nations for exotic goods. Seek new profitable alliance and put heavy pressure on our enemies.

_'''Protect our homeland and faith" from the brutality and greediness of the invaders, the pirates, the tyrannies and the heresies.

_Innovate and industrialize adopt new ideas, achieving new technology and reaching new paces of economy and industry for a more fullfill life.

_Control an unrest nearly-anarchy with complicated internal structure of a country with many friendships, rivalry, raidings, wars and cooperations.

_Getting over the annoying AlÞingikar which could be my friend, a real factor for the development of the Álfarsland but at the same time could be a great hindrance...
