At the northern most point of the
Amaratharr Valley, hidden amongst the adolescent
Aelinor Oaks, rests a village of
Wapiti Tents centered around a low wooden building. The small tents surrounding the wooden building will never number more than four, as families of
Outlanders come and go, but the largest tent stationed north of the wooden building stands as unmoving as the
Aelinor Oaks that surround the small clearing. This huddle of deer-hide and wood was known as the
Outlander village of Faelon and was run by the
Revane Clan.
Once a bustling hub of hunting and trapping for
Outlanders, the town of Faelon had grown smaller as the years had passed, until it was nothing more than a stop for travelers. Then it was nothing more than the ancestral home of the
Outlander clan named
Revane, with other
Outlanders staying if they wished to learn the ways that had once made a great name for the
Revanes. But even their great name couldn't grow the village as
Elves moved on from the somewhat nomadic lifestyles they had once lived.
Outlanders lived on the outskirts of
Jade Elf society, living off the land through their own skills and merit. Faelon had once been the same, a town created by the
Outlanders for those wood
Emerald Elves that lived the life of the forest. As its population dwindled, the
Revanes stuck to the old ways and continued to teach the new generations the skills of hunting, trapping, and growing, up until the moment that Faelon ceased to exist.
The
Eldritch War wreaked havoc on the edges of the
Elven Kingdom. The earth was scorched, and the trees felled, leaving the small towns and villages that had hidden in the trees in ruins. Faelon was no different, as the tents were trampled, the buildings burned, and the
Outlanders' way of life reduced to ashes. Unlike the other villages, Faelon was not given the chance to rise from the ashes. As Faelon burned and was reduced to nothing, so was the ancient
Revane Clan that had called the land home for centuries.
