Amaren
Based in the Maidfair Woodlands south of the Glistening Expanse, Amaren Is the only elven city in the Reunian region. This Woodelf city lies hidden within the forest so few have managed to visit them and even fewer return to tell the tale. Those few who tell tales of Amaren use terms like, utopian, paradise, and wonderland. It is said that Amaren is bereft of crime, starvation, and pestilence, and take care of all those who live within. Their covert existence has led to a lack of communication with other nations, and they have been absent in all world meetings. They have no formal enemies or allies and has never been involved in any historic or military event as far as the recorded history goes.
Those who have interacted with the elves tell tales of uncommon family units containing multiple partners, convoluted family lines and large multifaceted relationships that span both sex and age. It has been extremely confusing for visitors that have tried to map out families as they are spread far and wide within the city.
Government
Amaren is said to be a Theocracy, led by the high priest of Mielikki. Though not a lot is known about their religious beliefs or theological ideologies, those who have visited recall a rather lacking government structure, no police, or bureaucracy of any kind. There are gatherings in the center of the forest where they weekly commune with Mielikk and gain her knowledge and wants.
Assets
There are no stores, farms, or artisans buildings in Amaren, as the elves don't need much more than they already innately have. The city has a ridiculous surplus of food, water, and living space, and most capitalist ideals seem to be foreign to them. "When asked about production and export the high priest tilted his head in confusion." reads an excerpt from famed historian Gillian Greatwrist.
Architecture
Amaren is made up of treehouses, not built but purposefully grown into living areas. The elves of Amaren seem to have full control over plants, trees, and animals. The city is ever-changing and no two accounts are the same, which seems to indicate that both the houses and general structures of the space are alive. Those who have visited Amaren tell of grand treehouses integrated and attached by vines and bridges of growing branches that flow and move with the elves. Doors and elevators move at the whim of its inhabitants. Large flush flora and fauna both occupy the same living area and pay no attention to the elves.
