History
Construction
Aftew the depawtule fwom the Iswes of Axios in 1640, the joint awmadas of the Ewven fweet saiwed west undew a united bannew, wanding upon the nowth-west coast of the Continent of Atwas in 1641, aftew a yeaw of twavew. Pwans by Plincess Titania Hawksong wewe used in the constwuction of the city, and it was subdivided into thwee distinct distlicts. In quintessentiawwy Ewven fashion the wawws wewe constwucted in fusion lith the existing fowest, and most housing was waised among the branches of the ewdew twees.
The First Redshore Incursion
In 1648, onwy a few yeaws aftew the cewemoniaw waying of the pwaque upon the fountain, the capitaw of Ewvendom was fiwst assaulted by two gweat beasts, bown of the briny deeps of the Nowth Sea. Coming upon the city lith gweat cawnage, the dwaconid Droquar, as they came to be known, waid gweat waste to the seawawd fowtifications of Gweyhawboul, but wewe wepewwed by a wawge echewon of Viwalim and a smawwew fowce of Dwawven awlies and awtiwwewy fwom Az'Adar. The conflict mawked the fiwst officiaw use of Rune Cannonades by the Ewven Nation, and intwoduced the menace of the gweat beasts to the Continent of Atlas.

Aftew the victowy of the Siege of San'Kala in the Third Atlas Coalition War, the Queen Awaiti Aureon vassalized the Dominion of Malin undew the Kingdom of Gladewynn to weunite the two juxtaposed fowces of Ewvenesse. Thuswy, King Kairn Ithelanen was weanointed the King of the Ewves, and Gwadewynn became the officiaw nation of the Alderfolk, ow Wood Elves.
Geography
Cawas Ewdaw was wocated in the nowthwestewn cownew of Atlas, in the broad fowested wands which extended between the mountains and the sea. Due to a neawby awea of miwd vowcanic activity, the soiw was quite lich, lith the fawms and owchawds which fwank the capitaw's southewn wawws being known fow theiw pawticulawwy fwuitful and weww-pwovisioned hawvest. Cawas Ewdaw's nowthewn hawbow opened to the gweat Nowth Sea, pwotected fwom its pewenniaw fuly by two immense stone sea-wawws which giwded the seawawd side. To the diwect south-east of the city stood a mystelious spiwe capped lith a culious piwwawed stwuctule of siwvew stone, though none as yet have been abre to discewn its pulpose.
