The kingdom
of Daedala occupies the forests north of the Zarackis Mountains
and east of Sunder's Vein. The oldest kingdom of the Realm, it is
inhabited by the Elves and their allies. The kingdom, though it
lost territory in the last war (over 10,000 years ago), has endured
through countless invasions due to the well-trained rangers and
superb guerilla tactics implemented. The forests here are thick
and the scent of pine is ever-present. Forestry and the mining of
iron support the kingdom and its elaborate citadels. The tundra
of the Isle of Valencia, the only island occupied by the kingdom
and named for the first Elven Regent, is well suited to seal hunting
and fishing.
While the kingdom
maintains an air of peace, the Elves fear a new invasion is coming
from the Galvan Republic in the north or the Pelijian goblins to
the northwest. The goblins of Pelijia have long been jealous of
the expansive territories the others hold and the Elves fear they
may act on their ambitions. The Galvan Republic, while inhabited
by Gnomes and Dwarves (both of whom have allied with the Elves during
the last several wars), is another possible danger. The Elves do
their best to aid the kingdom, but expansionist plans seem to be
prevailing in lieu of the current economic situation of the Republic.
This worries the Elves, even though they would have kingdoms believe
otherwise.
The forests
of Daedala are inhabited almost solely by Elves. Only scattered
villages of humans and rarely encountered magical woodland creatures
dwell in the region alongside the Elves. Along Sunder's Vein lie
two massive Elven citadels and the ruins of a number of ancient
cities belonging to a race believed to be extinct.
