The final dissolution of the Elven Empire was a long, slow process and the exact historical moment where the Empire ceased to exist is difficult to pinpoint, given that many of the Imperial institutions and a veneer of Imperial authority and legitimacy were maintained, at least nominally, by its self-proclaimed successors.

For the first time in its history, most of Realmgard was unified under a single authority. Only the extreme north and northwest of the continent would remain beyond Imperial control.

It is during the Melkartite Wars that the Elven army first earned its reputation for unshakeable resolve in the face of any seeming disastrous setback and its avalanche-like ability to slowly but surely build up unstoppable forward momentum on the battlefield until final victory was achieved.
