The Elwynn River runs through east [[Benacia]], and is the most prominent geographical feature of the Republic of [[Shireroth]]. It also lends its name to the geographic region and Elwynnese ethnic group.
'''Elwynn''' can refer to:


[[Image:RElwy.png|thumb|The Elwynn River as shown on the Physical Map of Micras.]]
==Geography==
* [[Elwynn (region)]], a culturally diverse region in northern [[Benacia]];
* [[Elwynn (river)]], a large river in eastern Benacia.


Elwynn was probably named after a river in Warcraft, although the Shirerithians are embarrassed about this and try to hide it. It existed since the first MCS Maps in 2001, and the Shirerithian Duchy of Elwynn is named after it. The Treesian goddess Elwynn was also named after the river.
==Politics==
* [[Elluenuueq]], the Greater Elwynnese State, a sovereign nation within the [[Benacian Union]];
* [[Free Elwynn]], a partially recognised independent republic governing [[Cimmeria]] and [[Hyperborea]].


The Elwynn begins as two large rivers, the East Elwynn and West Elwynn, both of which have their source in the Elirian Mountains. These two tributaries join at Shirekeep, from which the Elwynn proper runs through Shireroth's most important lands until it reaches the sea in a marshy delta near Musica. The Elwynn is currently dammed in a few locations, most importantly the East Elwynn Sluice in Zjandaria. This sluice provides significant power to Shireroth, but its control is fragile: during the War of the Sightseers, a well-placed bomb on the Sluice flooded parts of Brookshire and Goldshire.
==History==
===Shirerithian (feudal) Elwynn===
*[[Duchy of Elwynn (1452–1488)]]
*[[Barony of Elwynn]] (1488–1500)
*[[County of Elwynn]] (1500–1504)
*[[Barony of Elwynn and Lac Glacei]]  (1504–1509)
*[[Duchy of Elwynn (1509–1533)]]
*[[Duchy of Froyalan]]  (1533–1541)
*[[Duchy of Elwynn (1541–1562)]]
*[[Elwynn (1562–1567)]]
===1st Independence Era===
*[[Elwynnese Realm]]  (1567–1573)
*[[Realm of Elwynn and Hurmu]] ((1573–1582)
*[[Elwynn, Amokolia, and Hurmu]]  (1582–1590)
*[[Elwynnese Union (1590–1600)]]


Over time, Elwynn also came to mean the geographical area between the two rivers, which became a political subdivision as a Duchy in Shireroth. Elwynnese culture was particularly developed from the creation of the Duchy, especially by citizens Daniel Kalirion and [[Ardashir|the Khan of Vijayanagara]]. With the creation of this political subdivision of course came ethnic nationalism and Elwynnese regional identity was so strong that by 2010 the area had become an independent nation.
===Shirerithian (neofeudal) Elwynn===
*[[Duchy of Elwynn (1587–1600)]]
*[[Imperial State of Elwynn]] (1600–1601)
*[[Elwynnese Union (1601–1607)]]
*[[Coordinated State of Elwynn]]  (1607–1613)
*[[Democratic People's Republic of Elwynn]]  (1613–1618)
*[[Elwynnese Union (1618–1623)]]
*[[Vanic Elwynn]] (1623–1651), officially known as the [[Elwynnese Union]]
*[[Elwynnese Union (1651–1653)]]
*[[First Elwynnese Republic|Elwynnese Republic (1653–1665)]], known as the [[First Elwynnese Republic]]
*[[Elwynn (1665–1671)]]


The Elwynnese are also known as the Elw and Elfinshi, and are found in large numbers in micronations on both sides of the Elwynn River, such as [[Ashkenatza]] and Amokolia. Elwynn's national symbol is the White Orchid, a flower which grows in abundance on the riverbanks.
