History

This once was the capital of all the elven civilizatio, created by transmutation magic using the trees and the earth to make wodden buildings, walls and roads.
The last stance of the elves where here, the resist for almost 1 year of siege, but lost in the end and the enemy show no mercy as they don't show it to any other race besides ther own or the giants.

Architecture

All that remains are wodden buildings and some statues: marbel and iron; some say the iron ones are golems that lost the magic rendering useless, like statues. The minos don't dare to disturb any. All statues are pristine.

Geography

The settlement was built around 120Km east the center of the Derrimer Forest, adjacent to the Minothral River and was a vast city merged with the nature thanks to eleven magic. As the mages start dying a lot his enchantment stop working, the place is now in ruin with vines covering the wooden buildings. Almost all the other things were destroyed by fire, the Minos didn't want to risk starting a fire in the entire forest so they built their new capital Exor at the northeast part of the forest where once a great school of magic stood, and transform The great mirror in the yard into a great sun symbol to symbolize and remember the triumph of the divine magic over the elven one.
