Fortunately the elves arrival in Thurn occurred within the last century, so studying the relevant era isn’t proscribed. Nevertheless, my research into the origins of elves in Thurn turns out to be a scholar’s nightmare. I don’t understand the paranoia those in power have about Thurn’s ancient history, but there is clearly something in our past that our ruling council wants to keep secret.
Since the official records of Gregori’s expedition have been destroyed, historians must rely on less reliable accounts of what happened. Some of those accounts are inconsistent, and a few stretch plausibility to the limit. Thankfully, Cassandra has access to the Emperor’s personal library, which contains Gregori’s memoires, written several years after his ships returned to Thurn.
After two months of research and analysis, I’m confident my work is as close to the truth as any existing historical treatise on the subject. Cassandra and I sit down to discuss my research.
“Have you been able to determine the accuracy of some of the commonly held beliefs about the origins of the elves?” asks Cassandra.
“Lord Gregori’s own memoires confirm that he was commissioned by Emperor Rambold to explore the seas to find a legendary land to the south of Thurn. I haven’t been able to establish the origins of the legend, other than it supposedly refers to a vast area of land that exists far to the south. Lord Gregori assembled a fleet of five ships and a party of two hundred men. Once the winter ice melted and the storms eased, the expedition set sail from Thur half a century ago ... fifty-two years to be precise. It was a risky venture for sailors who had never previously travelled out of sight of the coast.
“None of the surviving documents agree on how many weeks the expedition travelled. Lord Gregori didn’t record the duration in his memoires, and all his sea charts have been deliberately destroyed. It isn’t even certain which direction the fleet sailed when it departed Thur. To reach the south by sea, a ship must first travel east or west to clear the northern coast of Thurn. Common belief holds that the fleet sailed west before turning south, but I can’t find any conclusive evidence that is so. Furthermore, we have no idea whether the fleet travelled on a steady course, or meander about in search of their goal.
“Gregori’s memoires confirm the widely accepted stories about the expedition finding a new land and disembarking in a wide river estuary. The climate was hot, and the land’s flora and fauna was very different from Thurn. Large cats and giant lizards were the most dangerous of the many animals they encountered. Those facts also appear in the sagas that elves pass down from one generation to the next.”
“Is it possible the elves’ sagas have developed from the stories Thurnian men have spread?” asks Cassandra.
“It’s possible, but I think it unlikely,” I continue. “It’s the only set of facts where Thurnian records and elven sagas agree. Thurnian records suggest the female elves were eager to be taken aboard the ships and brought back to Thurn, whereas elven sagas repeatedly refer to them being kidnapped. Nor is clear whether the settlement where Gregori’s expedition encountered elves was a permanent settlement, or a temporary encampment. Gregori refers to the elves as being nomadic, but the elven sagas suggest otherwise.
“The only conclusive evidence I can find is that one hundred and seven very sea-sick elven women disembarked in Thur in early winter of that year. They were herded into a disused warehouse to await their fate. Fortunately for us, the harbourmaster’s logbook survived the destruction of official documents about the expedition. The log book records the number and condition of elven women who disembarked. It also records that the five ships were promptly ordered to be burned. According to the harbourmaster, the ships’ wooden hulls had become infested with an unidentified breed of sea worm that ate into the planking. Apparently, three of the ships were leaking enough water to require constant pumping of their lower holds.”
“I thought Gregori’s ships were destroyed because the residual stench from the elves in their holds was beyond cleaning,” interrupts Cassandra. “Isn’t that where the phrase ‘stinking elves’ originated?”
“That’s a popular myth. The harbourmaster’s log says otherwise,” I reply.
“Then why lie about the reasons for destroying the ships in the first place?” muses Cassandra.
“I think money had a lot to do with it,” I say. “I also suspect there was a degree of xenophobia. Gregori wanted compensation for the loss of his ships. However, Emperor Rambold refused, citing the stench of the elves as the cause of the lack of the ships’ seaworthiness. Rambold decreed that it was Gregori’s decision to transport the elves to Thurn, so Gregori must suffer the consequences. However, Gregori had the last laugh.
“Having declared the elves to be Gregori’s property, Rambold was unable to benefit financially from the elves acquisition by eager Thurnian men, who soon learned of the elves ability to have sex all year round. The ruling council hastily made several contradictory laws governing the treatment of the elves. Since slavery has always been abhorrent and illegal in Thurn, it was necessary to classify the elves as animals so that they could be acquired by interested Thurnian men. While all this was happening, the elves were housed to a large disused warehouse on the outskirts of the docks where their strong odour would only offend the poorer denizens of Thur. At some stage the elves were tattooed with the two letter identifier; a system of identification still in use today. As the weeks progressed, it became apparent that many of the elves were pregnant.
