Trelimbor, the Stone Elf city, has a rich history that dates back to the early days of The Second Age of the Lands of Dayne. It was established as one of the first cities within the vast Northern Wood, a region renowned for its dense forests and mystical beauty. The Stone Elves, a unique race of elves known for their stoic nature and lack of outward emotion, chose Trelimbor as their home, embracing the serenity and harmony of the surrounding natural environment. The city's foundation can be traced back to a time when the Stone Elves sought to establish a permanent settlement that would embody their core values of wisdom, introspection, and longevity. It is believed that Trelimbor was founded by a group of prominent Stone Elf elders who sought a retreat away from the bustling cities and kingdoms of other races, including thier kin in The Northern Wood. They longed for a place where they could commune in their way, pursue enlightenment, and preserve their traditions. Throughout the ages, Trelimbor remained a sanctuary for the Stone Elves, its influence extending far beyond the borders of the city itself. Stone Elves who ventured out into the world carried the teachings and philosophies of Trelimbor, spreading the values of introspection, balance, and respect becoming emissaries to many Kingdoms throught Dayne.
