Caranthya

within the province of the Storm Coast, on the continent of Valdemar

Nestled within the heart of the Deepwood, Caranthya is the capital and seat of power for the wood elf king of the Storm Coast. This king rules over most of the wood elf settlements throughout the Coast’s forests; however, there are a few more independent groups to the south that the king continues try to bring under heel. Unlike most wood elf towns whose homes and structures almost always sit above within the tree branches, Caranthya is a massive city built upon Eldarian ruins of old. In true wood elf fashion they allow the Deepwood to grow throughout the city, with massive trees and branches twisting together creating multiple levels that even more buildings rest upon. Together this creates a unique and beautiful city unlike any other found in Valdemar.

Caranthya itself has no outer walls, as the entire hundreds of miles of thick forest of the Deepwood stop armies better than any wall could be argued to. Patrols of stealthy warriors scour the forest and scout its borders relentlessly. The wood elf army itself is quite large and highly skilled, but slow to replenish. Because of this and their cultural tendencies to protect the balance of nature, the wood elves generally focus on the defense of their woodland territories.
