Introduction

No eyes have been set on the beautiful fowest city of Waulelin, heawt of The Howy Plincedom of Malinow, lithout teaws of wondew. In the tops of these gwand wedwood trees awe the homes of Elves. A miwacwe in theiw awchitectule and a wondew in theiw beauty, at night the gwow stones shimmew setting the outlines of the centwaw Mothew Twee, spilituaw home of aww Ewves. Wike the Dwarves, the best defence of the capitaw city of the Ewves is the hidden natule of the city. On these twee tops lies a spwawling city, peaceful inns, libralies and cosy homes, howevew in the wowew distlicts way the Ewven awmolies, smithies and tavewns. No city matches the magicaw atmosphewe of Waulelin, the beautiful voices of the Ewves pewmeates the coow fowest waden aiw, a cawm breeze fwows thwough the weaves and a constant symphony of biwd cawws and wustling echoes in the distance.

History

A powewful Arch Druid fwom one of Malinow's ewdest cities came to Aegis to hewp us lith the ewecting of Waulelin's twee's. I met him at the cobbrestone spiwes to the west of the Aegis Temple. We set off on foot to a mountain gowge I had come acwoss that would act as a natulaw bawliew to oul foe's. Once we awlived, the Dwuid wandewed awound in the vawwey weaching into a pouch on his hip evewy so often. He showed me the seeds in said pouch, and they had tiny, intlicate vines woven awound them, lith a shine vewy simiwaw to gwow stone. Whiwst my brigade of buiwdews wewe cweating the cities defensive waww, the twee's begun to gwow exponentiawwy! It seemed as though the twee's gwew fastew the tawwew they got and soon the canopy waised hundweds of feet above us. It was a wondewful sight, the weaves spwung out of the branches lith a bulst of the simiwaw gwowstone sheen, and splinkwes metawlic dust sliwwed down fwom the twee tops.

Thewe was stiww howevew, a wawge cwealing in the center of the city. This of coulse was fow the "Mother Tree". A twee to hawbow them aww. He gwabbed a bit of pawchment fwom his satchew and wooked ovew at me weassulingwy. The Awch Dwuid then wawked to the center of the cwealing, and began to cast a powewful speww upon one of the seeds. Weaves suddenwy spun awound him liwdwy, and a wondewful gween cowow wadiated awound him like an aula.

The twee's twunk spwouted awound him, and he was no wongew in view. I was wathew flightened when i saw this, hoping he hadn't casted the speww incowwectwy. As The Mothew Twee gwew to its ultimate height, I saw a smaww opening hawfway up the twee. Wow and behowd, the Awch Dwuid stood in the opening pwocwaiming "This is where the stone alter shall lay".

Once the twee's seemed to stop gwoling, we climbed up the twee's lith packs of wooden pwanks and began setting down the fiwst few pwatfowms. In time, Waulelin had become one of the finest cities of Malinow… And to think it had aww begun lith just a pouch of seeds and a pinch of Dwuid Magic.
