Description

History
The earliest records of Sirion show that the region was first called Sirion Castle, seat of the duchy of Sirion Castle, and first capital of the great Sirion Republic.
During the Elven Year 6295, The Great Calamity / Great Eruption fell upon the East Continent. For many days, the skies remained dark, and the air filled with acrid smoke and dust. Many felt that the Gods were destroying the continent as punishment for many years of war. Sirion Castle, was destroyed during those darkened days. Years of warfare could not do what the Gods wrought upon the jewel of Sirion.
In the aftermath of The Great Calamity, a nameless prophet was heard to be preaching in the region. This prophet spoke of former history, glory, and honor of the ancient elves. He pointed the way to what was thought to have been forever lost, the Temple of the Elves. After many generations, the eruption had shifted the land, and the temple had once again seen the light of day. The elven people, renewed by the discovery, began to restore the temple to its former glory. In honour of this, and as a testament to the longevity of Sirion, the region was renamed to Sir Temple, seat of the duchy of Sir Temple.
Much later, in the time of the Sinking Islands, the duchy of Sir Temple was renamed to Anarionath, although the region itself retained the name of Sir Temple.
