Dokeen, a land shrouded in mystery and defined by its snow-capped mountains and icy plains, is the ancestral homeland of The Dok - or, as they're known by humans, elves. This frost-bitten terrain skews unusually colder than the northern islands of Myrod, the chill amplified by frigid offshore winds, making it - not inhospitable - but rather unfriendly to human life.
Instead, it's the Shu, a short and sturdy race, that call Dokeen's highlands home. The Shu, known for their resilience, have made their homes on craggy peaks and within rocky valleys, braving thin air and harsh cold.
Their capital city, Pahret, is a vibrant tableau of colours and festivity, the centre of numerous religious festivals celebrated throughout the year. Beyond Pahret, Dokeen's beauty lies predominantly in its natural landscape, punctuated by ancient ruins reminiscent of a time when the elves called this place home.
The Temple of Ti-Lak, nestled amongst these ruins, holds particular significance. Housing a reclusive order of monks, the temple is seen as a beacon by the Shu, who establish their communities in its vicinity, regardless of the altitude. Though the monks rarely venture out of their cloister, they play an essential role in Shu society through their unique gift of memory work. This power, suspected to be a form of magic, operates entirely outside The Council of Landezon's purview, contributing to Dokeen's aura of enigma. However, despite the passage of time and the geographical barriers, historical ties are suspected to exist between the monks and the Nurhetic Tradition of Delhiza, adding another layer to Dokeen's rich, intriguing tapestry.
Though most elves following the Battle of the Ebon Plains (circa 90, 0 NT) settled in Bluepool province to escape the melting ice caps which flooded their homeland, many initiated efforts to reclaim submerged artifacts and crucial documents, the loss of which has been especially profound for Elven Druids who on account of having lost the astrological charts essential for their rituals and tax calculations were thrown into chaos for near on a century. In addition to these missions, a fair number of younger elves began to travel home during a cultural revolution called the Ice Wave, and some have even slowly started to settle back in to areas where it is possible.
