Athalran


Description: Athalran is Fiore’s home of the Wood Elves. For generations it was hidden from humanity, largely being accessed by elvenkind alone for fear of its defilement. Just as the elves within Athalran are one with nature, so is the town itself. Many homes and buildings are framed in the trees. Native flora is allowed to grow aplenty. The roads are left unpaved in favor of bridges across treetops or waterways between parts of the town. Due to the elves’ intrinsic affinity for the natural arts, there exists magic around every corner. The closer one draws to the center of town, the stronger the magic seems. In the middle of it all is the palace of the Everqueen. The palace itself is the largest tree in all of Athalran whose roots are said to connect the souls of every living thing within the forest Ariathal. As such, it is dubbed the name Galadhrien. In the tongue of the elves, this means the Tree of the People, or broadly speaking, the Tree of Life. Only the wealthiest of the Wood Elves are allowed to live within the ring surrounding Galadhrien.

Localization: The city of Athalran resides within the enchanted forest Ariathal hidden deep in Eastern Fiore, just near the borders of Seven and Bosco. Much like the city itself, Ariathal blossoms with more magic than any other forest in Fiore. This magic is not something the elves see as either light or dark; rather, it is something that simply exists within life itself. Throughout the forest, one can find a myriad of flora and fauna, most of which are magical in nature. Due to the enchantments placed upon the land, it has largely been untouched by man. It is almost as if the forest itself persuades those who wish it ill intent to bring their desires elsewhere. As such, it is one of the few places where nature spirits are free to roam without worry of being harmed. Throughout the forest, one can find shrines to the Linea: the peaceful gods belonging to the Elven Pantheon. Wood Elves frequent these sites as places of worship and prayer.

Politics: While Athalran exists within Fiore’s borders, it does not recognize the royal Fiorian bloodline as their monarch. Instead, they live under the rule of a matriarchal lineage dating back millennia, a lineage that existed far before humans ever settled in Fiore. Their current ruler is Athenra the Everqueen. Through a pact of neutrality between the elves of Athalran and the crown of mainland Fiore, it was agreed that the Everqueen and human king could govern their people separately. Thus, under the rule of the Everqueen, the Wood Elves follow their own set of laws rooted in peace and virtue. The golden rule that governs all is to live in harmony with nature, with magic, and with one another. Seeing humanity break that core value is but one of the many reasons there exists a political stigma against many of the non-elven races. It however is especially strong against humans.

Economy: While the residents of Athalran do partake in the national jewel system the rest of Fiore uses, it is to a far lesser degree, and often caters towards non-natives who have nothing else. Instead, trading is commonplace. For the average citizen, this may be with artisanal goods or fresh hunts. Among the upper class and nobility, there are exchanges of precious gems and refined metals.

Culture: The culture of the Wood Elves who dwell within Athalran is rooted in nature. It is taboo to needlessly harm flora and fauna alike. Depending on the severity, such an act may even be illegal. Elves may hunt, but only to the limit which the forest can withstand. They may introduce magic to their surroundings, but not in a way that would turn nature destructive. All must be done in balance. To break that balance would be to desecrate nature’s equilibrium between the light and the dark.

Language: Most Wood Elves in Athalran are fluent in Fiorian, but their native tongue is Val'Elvarin which is the preferred language of communication. It is the Wood Elven offshoot of Elvarin, the first language elves developed that High Elves still use today. Their similarity allows Wood Elves to have a well enough understanding of Elvarin, but not many are able to speak it fluently. A minority of residents hail from Seven and Bosco whose languages have a small, but not insignificant, presence in Athalran.
  • Val'Elvarin [Sindarin]
  • Elvarin [Quenya]
  • Fiorian, Boscan, Sevese [Italian, German, Greek]


Locations



Galadhrien: Located in the center of Athalran, Galadhrien connects to every living thing within its domain. Without it, there would be no life in the forest and there would be no home for the Wood Elves. It also serves as the castle of the Everqueen who protects it. Entry is strictly forbidden without approval from the Everqueen or her advisors; however, people are allowed to roam outside in the public gardens.

Inner City: Behind towering walls lies Athalran's main city. Built into nature itself, there are numerous buildings from the bottom up with some even tiered into the treetops. Architecture is more developed the further in the city goes with the wealthiest elves living close to the center just outside Galadhrien.

Ariathal: Surrounding the main city is an enchanted forest brimming with life. It comprises the majority of Athalran's territory and is home to both creatures and spirits. Though most are quite docile, the deeper the forest goes, the more dangerous the wild become.

Yesan-Qaphas: The sacred tree of healing that parents bring their dying children to in order to be saved and reborn as Athlas Elves. The tree also produces mystic fruit said to possess strange qualities that only present themselves to the worthy.

Sacred Ruins: Scattered across the entirety of Athalran are ancient ruins. Some are well known and are devoted to the worship of elven gods while others are all but abandoned, sometimes inhabited by spirits. Dating back to before humans even came to Fiore, some ruins have yet to be discovered. They are thought to hold secrets and power untold.

And an Elvhenair placeholder, just for fun

Elvhenair


Description: Elvhenair is the ancestral home of the High Elves. To this day, it remains the only formal High Elven settlement on Earthland where thus the vast majority of High Elves can be found. The island Elvhenair

Localization: North of Caelum, off the western coast of Fiore, lies the island-nation known as Elvhenair. Though the ocean provides a level of natural protection to Elvhenair's borders, the island is enchanted such that its presence is obscured from anyone who is not of High Elven blood, making it exceedingly hard to find without a guide.

Politics: Elvhenair is ruled by a monarchy whose current head is Isildur the Elvenking.

Economy: ???

Culture: ???

Language: Elvarin, the original tongue of the elves, is the primary language spoken in Elvhenair. Due to the similarity in languages, many have a fair enough understanding of Val'Elvarin as well, but aside from the Wood Elven minority residing on the island, it is rarely spoken. Even rarer are the languages of Fiorian and Caelese, which many High Elves know due to close geopolitical borders, but loathe to speak for they are the languages of man.
  • Elvarin [Quenya]
  • Val'Elvarin [Sindarin]
  • Caelese [English]
  • Fiorian [Italian]


Locations





Galadriel: Galadriel is the capital of Elvhenair. There, one can find the palace of the Elvenking, as well as the homes for the majority of the High Elven population.
