A temperate, bough-bound region at the heart of the Kingdom of Daerivan that spans fifty to one hundred miles of old-growth woodland and fen. Magic is commonplace and woven into daily craft and law, and elven society centers on preservation of the living canopy and ancestral pacts. Athriel houses the ceremonial seat and archives, Everesca maintains lunar rites and hunters, and Allandil manages cautious trade with outsiders.
