Ceru was a High Elven sister city to Haelun'or in Asulon. It is most known for being the location that Ellir’siol left to with her supporters during the Haelun’or Schism. Interestingly, the settlement later became the keep of the Order of the White Rose.

History

Many citizens of Haelun’or left to Ceru after Nelecar, Okarir’sil of Haelun’or, abused his powers and angered citizens with excessive punishments for small crimes. Ellir’siol, a fellow council member, opposed Nelecar’s actions. After a compromise could not be reached, Ellir’siol led a majority of Haelun’or’s citizens to Ceru.

A quote from The Haelun’or Schism Volume II by Lucion Sullas:

”Piling upon boats, [Ellir’siol’s supporters] left the Emerald Isle to the town of Ceru-- a cliffside village and quasi-colony that bordered the Kingdom of Renatus. Here, they settled for a time, and waited.”

After existing for a few years, the village’s inhabitants returned to Haelun’or due to a request by Dio, the first Maheral of Haelun’or. The citizens complied with this request, glad to return due to bad leadership by Ellir’siol.

Geography

The village was located next to the human Kingdom of Renatus on a cliffside.
