Rise of Western Elf Nationalism

Cultural event

The rise of Western Elf nationalism, exceptionalism, and isolation. This would shape much of how the Western Elves view themselves today.

With the construction of Ilobel beginning and more grand plans for the constructs, The Western Elves grew to view themselves as superior, civilized, and more morally in tune with the world. As the J'barri began to immigrate to the kingdom in droves, the Westerners would grow more extreme in their ideas. Eventually, the J'barri would be enslaved and put to the task of finishing Ilobel. With maps finally being completed and common, the view of Belenad being 'held' by the hand of Silse would justify much of their decisions to enslave the J'barri. The seemingly divine iconography of the lands would be a large selling point for an invasion against Brille in the future.
