Elwynn (Elw: Еӆуенууеқ, Elluenuueq [əɬuənuːəχ])) is a region in northern Benacia, generally consisting of the land between the Red and Blue Elwynns, and the associated land northwards to Cape Farewell.
Elwynn has in its history been an in imperial state of Shireroth (1600–1665), an independent state (1567–1600), a Shirerithian duchy (1452–1588, 1509–1562, 1587–1600), barony (1488–1500, 1504–1509), and a county (1500–1504). As an independent county, west Elwynn was a republic with an elected prince. Since rejoining Shireroth, Elwynn kept its independence-era government (1600–1607), then became the Coordinated State of Elwynn (1607–1612), the Democratic People's Republic of Elwynn (1613–1618), a transitional monarchy (1618–1623), and a Vanic state (1623–1651). Since the fall of the Vanic State, Elwynn's governing institutions were eroded by factional infighting and popular unrest, culminating in an [Fall Hagg-Ellen|Imperial intervention]] and the partition of Elwynn in 1665. Parts of the previously partitioned Elwynn re-established itself as the Elwynnese Republic in a congress in Eliria in 1671.
The name Elwynn comes from a goddess with the same name who originally hailed from the Treesian pantheon. The Elwynnese Republic is noted for its violent and complex history, its significant minority cultures, sometimes living in harmony with one another, sometimes brutally massacring one another.
