Nevaehlen
	Nevaehlen, home to the Wood Elves and Father Circle Druids, sits in the Heaven's Peak mountain range to the West, part of mainland Aevos. The village was settled in the ruins of Talar'nor by the surviving Nevaehlii of the Silver Subjugation, led by Dyonne Alusa. This move allowed the Wood Elves to not only restore the lands from the lingering voidal blight, but to also reforge their culture and perspective; seeking to make amends with the cities of their elven brethren. Their military, the Halerir’elame, emerged from an informal citizens-militia, restructured to protect their way of life. Key leaders included Dyonne Alusa, Gul'ash, Yra'lissa, alongside Gladeguards and Greenblades. Nevaehlen began to thrive once more in its unrestrained status, reconnecting with the kin they had lost from prior reigns. • Current Leader: Dyonne Alusa • Peak Times  The Vale contains both GMT and European players, though the peak hour is typically around 5pm EST when the remainder of the EST community is active.
Current Leadership	List of Leaders in Nevaehlen Matriarch Dyonne Alusa ~ The Matriarch is the voice and head of her kin and culture. Those who hold this position are typically at the forefront of defense, fighting for their family and values. Naturally, the Matriarch is one to restore and preserve the Wood Elven ways through teaching, guiding, and walking the path themselves. Head Steward Yra'lissa ~ Working in tandem with the rest of those on the concord, the Keeper is the head of stewardry, holding all keys to those homes in Nevaehlen. They possess organization skills, and are most importantly driven to welcome new, dutiful kin to the rest of the fold. Greene Norvayn-Caerme'onn ~ The Valeseer is the leader of those Pledged to the Forest, guiding the efforts of the Order. Essith Caerme'onn ~ While the Valeseer acts as the overall head and final decision-maker for the Halerir’elame, the triumvirate of Wild Chiefs beneath them act as hands to directly train, organize, and lead the Vale’s warriors in times of crisis.
Military	The Wood Elves of Nevaehlen are all initiated into the Halerir’elame, Those Pledged to the Forest. The arrival to Almaris had been a trying time for the Mali’ame and their ability to unite and fight against greater forces. T
Seeds	Mali’ame seeds are the ancient families of the Wood Elves. Each of these tribes carry with them a unique cultural identity. Many bear sacred markings, known as Ilmyumier, which is a way of visually upholding the values of an individual, or of the tribe itself. Each Seed has a chieftain who is responsible for guiding those that have become part of their family, or wish to take their trials. Some find their identity as hunters, others as crafters, and others still - sticking true to the nomadic nature of the Mali’ame - are wanderers
Religion	In the Nevaehlen village, Wood Elves uphold the Wild Faith (Elnarnsae’ame) centered on nature, gods, and rites of passage. This belief, rooted in their forefather Malin's teachings, treats forest gods and spirits as intrinsic to daily life. The Aspects include Cernnunos (the Father), embodying survival and chaos, Cerridwen (the Mother), representing life and nurturing,who emphasizes nature's evolving cycles. Mani, the wild animal spirits, serve as protectors and representatives of fauna. Wood Elves make offerings to specific Mani, and some have patron or matron Mani.
