Also know as The Elflands, this is the home of almost all the elves in the world. Most of the country is plains and forests in equal measure, with some hills and lakes sprinkled in for good measure. The elves live in separate clans, known as maern in Elvish. The high elf maerns each have their own city, whereas the wood elf maerns roam the Elflands, building great camps as they follow the mammoth herds through the seasons.
The day to day governing of each maern is left to younger elves but any important decisions that concern them as a whole are the purview of the maern elders. The different maerns are as much competitors as compatriots and they see eye to eye on only a few important matters.
Each high elf maern runs a merchant house, called a Thal in Elvish, which they use to project their influence throughout the world. These are mostly represented by half-elves in the world abroad as few elves can adapt to a life away from their own.
