Erianrhel (eh-ree-ahn-REL)
This is a ruined treehouse settlement of the wood elves of the forest, abandoned by them long ago when the Coldwood came into being. The houses are long overgrown with trailing vines, creepers and moss, and the elves left little behind them. Foresters are very superstitious about this place, and so are the humanoids of the Adri. Neither will approach within several miles of Erianrhel. They fear that elvish or faerie enchantment will steal them from the mortal world, never to return.
Rangers and druids know better. There are some faerie creatures here, but none are hostile. The most notable permanent occupant is Elmennanibinaquen ("Elmen" to humans), a young elm treant. By treant standards, Elmen is friendly and talkative, but he has an intrinsic ability to know alignment and avoids evil folk. Elmen is, in his way, something of a sage among younger treants, and he possesses an awakened mind which grants him telepathic abilities. For example, he can communicate telepathically at will to anyone within 300 feet. Elmen knows of events in the deep forest, and he also knows much about the Grandwood. Gywdiesin has traveled here, and Elmen speaks approvingly of him: "The only human I've ever met who understood that a conversation only begins to get interesting after the first two settings of the sun." Elmen's faerie and small animal and bird friends have an excellent up-to-date knowledge of what happens in their area, and will help good-aligned forest travelers and those actively seeking to defend the forest.
