A scholarly term for the Elven culture which flourished circa. 2000-1200 B.M., characterised by a socially complex society centred around palatial centres, managed by a literate bureaucracy.

The term Meiro-Apapsian can refer to anything associated with this culture, such as language, culture, etc, but it is most commonly used linguistically, with Meiro-Apapsian Elvish representing the ancestral dialectical continuum of Faidan Elvish, Arkan Elvish, and Nalayeran Koine.
