From the day it was created to the modern days of man, Shendor has always been a beautiful place with rolling hills, huge forested mountains, and beautiful cities with up to thousands of people in them. Their first emperor was Thorin of highworld, and he was praised by the people for his contribution of the treasury to the people of Shendor. The second ruler was Empress Fond Declaux, and she made more beauty out of the already beautiful landscape and cities, and the people loved her for it. As the time passed, there were more and more emperors and empresses, and Sertcy couldn't get through the watergate into Shendor.
Thorin of Highworld was a good emperor, and brought much good to Shendor and the Elves. He was their first leader, and the one who lead most of the elves into Shendor, saving them from Sertcys evil power. When they got to Shendor, he was made emperor, and was praised like a god, but he wasn't emperor because of this, he was emperor because of what he did and could do for the people and the world. He contributed so much into improving the landscape, that he made a good thing better, and Shendor became a great empire that spanned an entire planet.
Fond Declaux was the first empress ever in the history of any world, and the people benefited from this greatly, because the women became just as powerful as the men, and were allowed to hold very high positions, such as empress. She added a womans opinion to the way the landscape was, and the overwhelming beauty was almost too much for the immortals, but the people loved it, so the deities ignored it. She also formed trade with other worlds such as New Henksland, and Jola. Which helped Shendor prosper and grow to become an ecological Gaia.
The Shendorians have had surprisingly little problems with smuggling evil or ugly things into Shendor, but the immortals probably had something to do with that. Shendor has computer technology, but they do not build cars or any pollutants. They have the technology, but don't use it. As for transportation, the elves of Shendor use pegusi and griffons to get from one place to another quickly, or they use horses for casual travel.
Shendor has had to fight a few wars, but they were actually to protect other worlds from the evil of Sertcy and his demihuman armies. The immortals have given much help in these battles, which helped the Shendorians to win these wars. As things happen, the Shendorians handle them accordingly, and usually do a good job of it, because they are good strategists and can gain control of a battle quickly and win in mere days.
