Eldergrove

Eldergrove perches quietly within the heart of Mistwood, its wooden homes blending with towering oaks and moss-draped pines. Townfolk cherish the forest’s bounty while guarding old traditions. The river provides fish and trade passage, but shadowed glades hint at older magic and dangers. The air hums with the mingled scents of pine, woodsmoke, and earth, inviting travelers to pause and listen to the forest’s secrets.

Mysterious and tranquil, with a subtle tension beneath the calm.
