Elindor — The Ancient Forest
Elindor is old in a way its people feel in their bones. The forests here predate the nations, predate the roads, predate almost everything built on top of them — and the Elindori have never quite forgotten that. It is a nation of oral tradition and long memory, of clan structures that have survived every attempt to replace them with something more orderly, and of a relationship with the natural world that sits somewhere between reverence and negotiation.
Of the six nations, Elindor has the closest relationship with the Aelvaeni. Earth aelves, water aelves, air aelves — they have all coexisted with humans here long enough that customs and protocols governing that relationship are simply part of how things work. The oral tradition is vast and carefully maintained, and there is a strong argument that Elindor’s lorekeepers hold knowledge about the world’s deeper history that no written record preserves — including, possibly, things about the Usurper that wiser ages chose to remember in story rather than risk losing to fire.
