"In Malam, it is common knowledge that the Elves are destined to one day rule over the lesser races and unite Yekare under Malamite rule. However, despite centuries of warfare, it seems that the 'lesser races' are rather insistent on governing themselves."
"Malam Ardhonad" (Malamite Empire) in Elvish
The Malamite Empire was an expansionist and Elvish-supremacist empire located in northern Yekare. It was founded by exiles from the Leorbar, who were cast out due to their Elf-supremacist beliefs. They resettled in the north and built a large empire, subjugating the local barbarian tribes. They were a major regional power and frequently made war against their neighbors. Racial purity was a key part of life in Malam, and the Empire had a race-based caste system, with "pure" high elves occupying the highest ranks while "lesser" elves (wood elves, dark elves, etc) are just below, followed by other Beldkind. Half-Elf occupied the lowest part of the racial caste system as race-mixing was seen as a great sin in Malamite culture.
Fourth Age
Malam was conquered by Pelegon I during the Pelegonic Conquest. As Emperor, Pelegon I began the process of deconstructing the Malamite racial laws and creating a more equal society. Today, the former territories of Malam remain under Imperial Governorships with a strong military presence to enforce the dissolution of Malamite racial hierarchy laws.
