I thought the elf tree was burned as a way to lure Tir out. Threaten the elves and let one escape to bring the leader of the new army into an easily fortifiable area. Since no humans can get into this region without elven help, once Tir gets in, nuke the elves, so that none can get reinforcements. THen you can take out Tir at your leisure. Hell, maybe Kwanda thought Tir was still in prison inside the three. In that case he could have been burning the tree to get at Tir. It would be obvious that Tir and company would have been arrested by the elves, but it was Sylvina's actions that no one could have guessed. _________________

They were killed, because they didn't join the empire. And Kwanda was driven pretty much insane by the conquerer rune.
As for the world map showing only large cities, this theory works for the humans, since Valeria said her home town was in the same area as the elves village, but the Elves were shown to be very reclusive, and seemed to be located in one spot. Plus Kirkis said he was they were the last of the elves as that chapter comes to an end. _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

That and the whole non human thing, since if we take it by face value the Elves would be the most magically inclined of the 3 non human races, the Kobolds were effectively subjugated and the dwarves without intervention of the Liberation Army would never have admitted that their technology could be stolen by "clumsy humans" they also have their uses for not being driven completely mad or annihilated. The Elves were pretty much you couldn't corrupt them as easily as the Kobolds and they didn't have a value to the Empire like the Dwarves.
Afterall, how many non humans do you see in Imperial Service? _________________

According to the character endings of Suikoden 1, Stallion departed after the war to become the fastest creature on earth.
So if all other elves (except Kirkis, Sylvina and Rubi) were killed when the Elf Tree was destroyed, those 3 would be the only ones responsible for rebuilding the Elf Tree village after the war.
I don't buy it. There had to be other elves scattered around the region who came back to help out with the effort. Three people (or elves in this case) can't rebuild an entire village. |
