Fra-Shandan
Fra-Shandan, the verdant jewel of the eastern lands, is a land shrouded in mist and mystery, where ancient forests stretch as far as the eye can see and the whispering winds carry the secrets of the ages. Nestled between towering mountains and great forests, Fra-Shandan is a realm of unparalleled beauty, natural growth and wonder.
Fra-Shandan is not merely a land of untamed wilderness. In the time of origins, it was home to the elves, the ancient guardians of the forest who have dwelled in its shadows since. For countless generations, the elves lived in harmony with the land, their society guided by the principles of wisdom, compassion, and respect for all living things. But as the ages passed and the world outside Fra-Shandan changed, so too did the elves, their once-isolated realm becoming increasingly entwined with the affairs of mortals, in particular, Dwarves.
Today, Fra-Shandan stands as a beacon of peace and tranquillity in a once world torn apart by strife and conflict. Though the elves still guard their ancient forests with vigilance, they have opened their borders to travellers and adventurers from across the realm, welcoming all who seek to bask in the beauty of their homeland.
