Whispering Forest

The Whispering Forest is a large, forested area located on the continent of Izal. It is bordered at a slight distance by Urach to the southwest and the dwarven kingdom of Moradin to the south. Among its trees reside the many high elven and wood elven clans of Izal, who - informally united - hold dominion over the Whispering Forest and who all have great halls located in the city of Quelren.

Following the breaking of Galadriel at the hands of Cyric, the forest's life began to turn to rot, tainted by a mysterious plague referred to -- by those that managed to avoid its corruption -- as the Scourge. The various elven communities dotted throughout the forest, as well as the elven capital of Quelren, have been abandoned by the elves in retreat, overrun by hags and other corrupted forest denizens who now claim them as their lands. Those elves that managed to escape have fled to the relative safety of Alucard Castle and its lord, Dalv, though not all seem to be aware of his vampirism.

Kingdoms and States
Throughout the Second Era of Peace, the elves mostly reside in small towns or communities, keeping to their individual tribes/clans. The seat of elven power is located in Quelren. There is no singular ruling force, with elven interests domestically and abroad being managed by a council whose members are elected as a result of the annual clan melee.
