Yenelor

Formerly the neutral site of human-elf negotiations, Yenelor rapidly grew into a thriving town with a significant population of half-elves. Serves as a proxy for Serine, allowing the exchange of goods with outsiders who are unable to enter the woods. The majority of trade is run through a branch of the Golden Road which has set up in the town. A lot of rare, unusual and sought-after items for sale pass through Yenelor’s markets so the town attracts a wide range of visitors Has a heavy military presence due to the constant movement of gold and goods through the town. Forces are well trained and well equipped due to joint funding from both the town administration and the Golden Road. No walls because elves lul but probably has some degree of magical defence too.
