Eleneot
"Fields of Eleneot" The Fields of Eleneöt, previously known as Pir Pahal to the Nonmen , is a location on the northeastern frontier of the fallen nation of Kûniüri . Two major battles took place at the Fields of Eleneöt: the Battle of Pir Pahal during the Cûno-Inchoroi Wars , and the Battle of Eleneöt Fields during the Apocalypse .

Eleneöt
"Battle of Eleneöt Fields" The Battle of Eleneöt Fields was the greatest battle between the Horde of the No-God and the Second Ordeal of mankind on the Fields of Eleneöt in 2146. The coming of the No-God was an unimaginable event. All living Men could sense his dread presence on the horizon, and all infants were born dead. This dark time became known as the Years of the Crib . Anasûrimbor Celmomas II , the High-King of Kûniüri , had little difficulty gathering support for his Second Ordeal against this threat to all mankind. Nil’giccas and Celmomas were reconciled. Across Eärwa , large hosts of Men began marching towards Kûniüri. Despite having assembled the greatest host of their age, Celmomas and his allies were unprepared for the vast numbers of Sranc , Bashrags , and Wracu gathered by the No-God and his Consult . Celmomas was killed, almost all of his host annihilated, and Kûniüri fell to the enemy. The battle was a devastating catastrophe, and signalled the eventual destruction of the Norsirai civilization.

Eleva
Eleva was a High Priestess of the Cult of Yatwer during the time of the early days of the Great Ordeal . She had been replaced by a Witch of the Swayal Compact sometime prior the convening of the Struck Table in the spring of 4132. During this convention, the Witch masquerading as Eleva was uncovered and killed by Psatma Nannaferi through the use of her Chorae . It is likely that the original Eleva was murdered to ensure the success of her Swayal replacement.

Elju
An elju (“book” in Ihrimsû ), is a Man or Sranc , who accompanies a Nonman to aid his failing memory. Though the Nonmen were made immortal by the Inchoroi , their memories are still fallible. As time goes by, they end up forgetting more and more of their long lives. Some Nonmen try to fight the inevitable loss of their memory by having an elju travel with them, to constantly remind them of their past deeds.
