Tol Leyemil, City of Elves
Nestled among the southern foothills of the Rock-Teeth
Mountains, the most ancient elven city of Etharis stands
as a monument to a proud race. Here, one can see elven
architecture that predates even the Bürach Empire. It’s
impossible to tell precisely how long the city has been
standing, as the archives of Tol Leyemil are closed to
non-elves. However, elves of all origins and subraces are
welcomed and accepted here, like wandering children
returning to their ancestral home. Thus, Tol Leyemil has
been called the Last Free Elven City, the final stronghold
of the Fair Folk.
Tol Leyemil employs an unusual system of
government. The city is ruled by an elven assembly
known as the Achen Elavain, which is composed of
members drawn from the city’s populace. While they
are not part of the council, the Bondmaker shamans
also have a say in the government’s decisions, as they
represent the will of nature itself.
Tol Leyemil maintains an alliance with the Charneault
Kingdom, but relations have since soured with the dark
elf curse. Racial enmity has flourished once again on
both sides, affecting bilateral agreements. Some of the
more radical human knights have accused the elves
of tightening their supply of ore, which in turn has
impacted Charneault’s supply of weapons. Meanwhile,
a growing sector of elves are demanding that humans
return lands they claim have been stolen from their
nation. No violence has occured yet between these two
sides, but with these escalating provocations, that may
not hold true for long.
Trade & Transport
Much like the humans of the Charneault
Kingdom, the elves rely heavily on fishing for
their subsistence. Unlike the humans, however,
they do not only fish in the rivers. As Tol Leyemil
is a short river cruise to the sea, many fishing
vessels come and go along the coast. The coast
also shelters many well-maintained orchards that
benefit from the temperate climate and provide
heavy yields of fruits that are used for food and
wines, the recipes for which are well-guarded
secrets of the elven growers.
