Hollymoin

The Land of the elves reflects their culture and beliefs. The land is full of sprawling forests filled with wildlife and peaceful meadows and showcases the age and untouched beauty of this world. The capital city Elegante reflects just that. Located in the center of an enormous forest the city is shockingly beautiful and very serene and peaceful. The city is entwined with the enormous and ancient trees that grow at the center of the woods, the elves remove nothing but added may garden and smaller trees that grow out of larger trees to create a city that has a thousand levels of trees of varying ages to create something truly spectacular. Waterfalls flow down trees and snake through the streets as rivers and streams. Every single building is made of a hollowed tree, the stairs leading up the college of nature are made of bramble, and everything is natural, the things that are man made are the thousands of lights that cast a warm light on the city as the sun falls asleep. The oldest tree known as Umbra, meaning grandfather sits at the top of the city and was hollowed out to become the home to the royal family. The tree reaches all the way up into the low flying clouds, high above the forest roof along with most of the city that can be seen from the Sunstar Mountains and the main road to Hobeliton. Zelany Kyrinstan, the Sister of the last leader of the elvish military currently controls the Lands of Hollymoin when she beat the king in a battle of wits, a battle simulation, and a duel. She has then crowned the queen of Hollymoin and took the throne, which was twenty-five years ago. She still sits on the throne and commands the elvish armies of Hollymoin. On the other side of Hollymoin rests the lands of the dark elves who reside under the mountains of the great swamp, they are still a part of Hollymoin but much lesser so. Maleficus Malum, the King of the dark elves is upset with how Zelany treats the dark elves in the west and wants to rebel or possibly even challenge her to a game of wits to win the throne for himself ant the empire of dark elves supporting him. It’s tricky though; the dark elves have a long history of violence and rushing into war without thinking about consequences and tarnishing the elves pristine record as a peaceful, quiet and silent race. They are known as hostile and violent troublemakers with a history of devil worship and burning settlements to the ground for no purpose other than having fun so naturally they were shunned out.
