''For the planet, see [[Planet Eladamri]].''

The Eladamri, also known as the [[Empire of Roads]], was a [[Multi-Verse]]-spanning civilization, the [[Fall of Roads|collapse]] of which led to the [[Age of Darkness]], and whose people built the [[Road]]s and may have made magic possible by artificially modifying D.N.A.

==Terms==
The Eladamri have been described by many names during the [[Mage Wars]] and [[Ages]] of the [[Alliance]]. Their true name, 'Eladamri', was not discovered until near the end of the [[Ages#The Sixth Age|Sixth Age]].

===Ancients===
The term 'Ancient' is often used to describe the Eladamri, even within their own terminology. In relatively modern times (throughout the [[Ages]] of the [[Alliance]]), the Eladamri were often known simply as Ancients, a colloquium for the long-lost civilization. The proper name was not discovered until [[A.Y.]] 6899, and not formally published until several years later.

However, Eladamrian translations were often found to use the term 'Ancient'. It was eventually determined that the name 'Eladamri' sprang from the establishment of the capitol city on the [[Planet Eladamri|planet]] of the same name:

''Feeling that their work was complete, the ancient ones moved on from the Old Way, and put aside their weapons. A new capital was established, and with it, a new name: Eladamri.''

Based on this inscription, [[Jason Bur'I|Jason]] posited that they chose the name at the start of [[Antiquity#Classic Antiquity|Classic Antiquity]], and that the name 'Ancient' described everything before that era. Perhaps the term was meant to distance the 'new way' from the old war against the [[Iname]].

===The First Ones===
Another, much less common term, is the 'First Ones', found in many cultures in and around the [[known worlds]]. It is often found among cultures specifically seeded by the Ancients, who refer to themselves as "The Second Ones" or similar. See [[Progenitors]] & [[Progenitor Civilization]].
