Elven Territory.Most every place is like its own paradise. Soaring mountains, regal cliffs... Deep, lush forests and grassy plains. The rivers, streams and falls are pure, the water being some of the sweetest on Calraida.
The beaches of Elven Territory possess the whitest sands on the continent. Around the edges of the territory, ocean-side, the waters are crystalline, near tropical. Further out, the water is a shade of cerulean. Storms hardly ever come through here, and when they do, they are mild, doing more good than harm.
Several miles out, there is a string of small islands, inhabited by some of the best mariners of the Elven Kingdom. The number of isles ranges around the number of twenty. When the tide goes out, ten more surface, and the inhabitants of the permanent Islands take advantage of the low tide. The clams that grow on the tidal isles produce the best pearls of the Continent. They come in all colors, but white is the most sought after.
The Isle bound Harbor is part of a large town, Moon's Mirror. It gets it's name from the pristine white stone structures that stand guard around the town. When the moon is full, it's light reflects off the silver plates at the top of the towers. It's on these nights that ships come over from the islands, bearing wares of shells, and most importantly, Pearls.
The Elven Kingdom's Territory would take half of a year to cross from the longest apart points, and many, many, many years to fully explore.
The wildlife here is abundant, life abounds each Spring. Caravans run all year 'round, bringing wares to Villages, Towns, and Cities.
There is really just one major City, which you could say is the Capital City. Skysong City. The population is almost solely Elven, with a human or five running around, and an occasional Lycan or Dwarf to be seen. Skysong city is also the base of the Royal family.
The Castle itself is a beautiful structure made of silvery grey stone, with walkways and courtyard being that of grey blue shale tiles. Flower gardens line the walkways, blooms of every color painting the air with delicate scents and majestic aromas.
The stables house horses in stellar conditions. Pastures spread far and green, foals dancing their delight for life while mothers graze, one eye on their offspring. This is also the center of a special race of horse. Far more intelligent than other equines, save for the Unicorns. The winged horse.
There are two types. Feather and Draconic winged. The feather winged type can come in every color a bird can come in. The Draconic winged type have nothing dragonish about them but their great leathery wings.
The Orchards grow every fruit you can imagine. The apples are the sweetest, bar only the apples grown in the Lycan Sanctuary.
Surrounding the western and forward side of the City's walls is a large area of plains, which abruptly turn to lush forest, lined by a cool river.
