Senatheril

Senatheril appears as a sprawling elven metropolis lost in a loop of twilight, with willow-lined avenues and grand ivy-choked libraries frozen in perpetual dusk. The city seems beautiful but hollow—hallways echo with both elven laughter and cryptic wails, and living citizens mingle uneasily with docile undead under the watchful gaze of omnipresent magical eyes. Time has little meaning, and every shadow might hide a truth or a trap.

History

Once the jewel of an elven kingdom, Senatheril was torn into a pocket dimension during a mythic war, its leader and people left isolated. Over centuries, the fabric of time and sanity frayed. Undeath and mind-control became tools for control as its herald-leader spiraled into paranoia and delusion.
