First Independence era

During the first independence era, independent Elwynn was often called West Elwynn, and the Shirerithian Duchy of Elwynn was called East Elwynn. However, for political reasons, independentist Elwynn termed the East "Feudal Elwynn" and itself as Free Elwynn. East Elwynnese authorities called the West Lirikoth Moivaster ("Elwynn that has strayed") or simply "The Eliria Clique".

During this time, the sovereign state of Elwynn had several official names:

The Elwynnese Realm
The Union of Elwynn and Hurmu
"Riqi Adurellion (Elwynn, Amokolia and Hurmu)" (The Elw was part of its official name and the parentheses were there to appease the Hurmu and Amokolian communities)
The Union of Elwynn, Amokolia and Hurmu
The Elwynnese Union
