Vyshnyrr Grove is almost as old as Castle Court but has become a very different place in Radia. While Castle Court remains a tribute to everything old, Vyshnyrr Grove is a symbol of the progress the elves have made in Radia over the past thousand years. Lined with skyscrapers reaching to the heavens, dotted with beautiful parks, and the ever-sacred elf gardens.

Landmarks

GRYSHNYBARRA SQUARE

One of the largest shopping districts in all of Radia, also a place where the people of the city gather to celebrate, especially for elven celebrations. Whether it is day or night, Gryshnybarra is always bustling with foot traffic and lit up with electric lights that only seem to turn off in the day. Filled with nightclubs, restaurants, stores, and more, this is the epicenter of Vyshnyrr Grove.

OLD RADIA/RADIA FIRST OFFICES

On the outskirts of Gryshnybarra you can find the ORRF Offices. Here the political machinations turn as the operatives working for Radia's conservative political party make their plan for the next city-wide election in ten years, hoping to steal back some of the seats they lost - the biggest being the coveted mayoral office.

THE NORTH AND SOUTH ELVEN GARDENS

The elven gardens appear to be golden wheat stalks to the untrained eye. It is only once you see them in-person, close up can you tell that they are connected to a living being, their ends seeming to bend to look at you as if asking why you're getting so close. Multiple times a day the Caretakers of the Elves tend to the Elven Gardens, ensuring that they are watered and nourished. Each stalk is extremely important, as the elves are dwindling in number due to fewer and fewer places to grow them. The fields and lots are broken up to determine the importance of the elf. Elves lose all memories of their past lives when reborn, but careful record-keeping informs elves which line they belong to and who they were born from. Elves choose new names when reborn, but keep their last name to honor their past lives.

THE SKY MOAT

Sometime around 1000 BC, the melting glacier outside of Radia was beginning to cause the city to flood. Hytyuqa Gytylly, the court sorcerer was able to save the city by engineering and enchanting a magic waterfall that encircled the center of Radia. These waterfalls are everflowing and can be heard through most of the city. They empty into a river below that flows out to the ocean. Throughout the past 1,500 years, many improvements and additions have been added to The Sky Moat - helicarriers bring in teams of mages to work on the structure and maintain it, though year after year this funding continues to be cut.

TREE'S BOUNTY

Tree's Bounty is a favorite restaurant in Vyshnyrr Grove, carved out of a massive tree in the middle of a beautiful garden. Little lights are strung overhead giving this outdoor restaurant a calming aura at night. The wine and cocktails flow heavily and people are forced to sit together at long tables. But there is a darker side to the restaurant - this is also where the legendary Golden Ring Syndicate meets.

GOLDMYRR WIZARDBALL STADIUM

The home of the Radia Gold Pennies and the Radia Crowns - the local wizardball teams. The stadium is a particularly popular place starting in spring when the wizardball season begins and lasting until the fall when the season ends. On game days you can find fans outside in front of the stadium, drinking, singing, and waving their team's banners.

KYN ARTIFACTS

The largest private collection of ancient elven artifacts and always keen to acquire more. Privately funded, this society believes that elven relics are best kept in the hands of elves themselves. The Preservationist Society operates out of this building.

HYSHYULL TOWERS

One of the most coveted places to live in all of Vyshnyrr Grove. This massive condo complex extends into the clouds and overlooks the North and South Elf Gardens. With privately contracted Royajure Security and a state-of-the-art crystal ball network, this is one of the most secure places in Radia. In the basement of this towering condo is the secret headquarters of Burlabs.
