The El Erian Empire refers to an ancient country on the Balkan Peninsula. Elerians never officially recorded their history. Part of why so much mystery and shrouds their rule. They settled large parts of the Balkans centuries prior to the Indo European invasions. By a 168 B.C., the Romans incorporated the entire El Erian region into the Roman Empire. They dominated for six centuries but the El Erians resisted assimilation and their distinctive language and culture survived. When the Roman Empires split, El Erians occupied great prominence and its eastern constituent. Asiatic invasions disperse El Erians only in the very south of the land did the significant number of El Erians survive, later forming the basis of modern day Albania. The capital of this empire founded in 4 B.C. was called Skutery it is now called Shkodra and it is located near the Montenegrin border. In the middle ages, Albanian cities expanded and commerce flourished. El Erians distinguish themselves as great generals and a proud people. One of its best known leaders is Skander Bain, he resisted auto man invaders for 25 years but the Turks eventually crashed their opponents. Shakespeare set his play Twelfth Night in Elyria.
