Thassilon remains the most famous ancient civilization in Varisia, but it was not the first. Long before Azlanti refugees began to build the empire of Thassilon, the elves of the Mierani Forest enjoyed a thriving civilization. As the humans flourished, the elves found their forest quickly surrounded on three sides by the Thassilonian provinces of Bakrakhan, Cyrusian, and Edasseril. The elves responded to their new neighbors with caution, constructing several watchtowers at the borders of their forest. The Ironwood Watch, the primary tower guarding the border with Cyrusian in the east, was once an imposing fortress raised up from the stone and crystal among the roots of the forest by elven geomancers. Though it was built as a military outpost, the tower also served as a customs house and boasted lavish decorations to impress visitors.

More than 10,000 years have passed since the tower was abandoned at the coming of the Age of Darkness, and the long neglect is evident. Now nothing but the lowest levels of the tower remain, buried in the earth and looking more like a hill than a fortress. Even the trees have suffered from the elven empire's decline, and the forest gradually gave way to grassland until the tower's ruins rested not among the woods but on a lonely prairie in what is now the Velashu Uplands.

As the Age of Darkness crept near, the majority of the Mierani elves fled through the aiudara, or elf gate, known as the Sovyrian Stone to their mysterious homeland of Sovyrian, but many stayed behind. Those elves that remained were driven deep underground into the Darklands by the horrors set loose upon the surface in the unending night. Those elves that survived suffered from their harsh trials and, in their search for greater power, eventually embraced the worship of demon lords. These cruel and desperate survivors, the dark elves, became the first drow. When the elves who fled
to Sovyrian eventually returned to reclaim the Mierani Forest, they found the once glorious city of Celwynvian occupied by their strange and violent new kin. The elves engaged the drow in a terrible battle to drive them out and reclaim the city, but not all of the dark elves were slain or driven back into the depths. <ref>Pathfinder Society 04-17</ref>
