Elven Nations & Charters

Fenn

The Principality of Fenn is the home of the Snow Elves, though it is open to all races. It is militaristic by design with a strong focus on religion, as well as highly defensible and pretty peaceful. Fenn can be found in the north-eastern realms of Arcas 1272 / 32 / -966 and is but a stone-throw away from Cloud Temple.

Peak Times  From a wide range of players from, US, Canada, and Greece there is always someone on! But for the most part 7 Est, 6 cst, 5mst, 4Pst is the greatest burst of people within the city!

The route from cloud temple.

Notable Locations

• Bilok’thuln~The Bilok’thuln is the backbone of the Princedom of Fenn. It is the group responsible for providing Fenn with the resources necessary to keep functioning. They have built every city, citadel, and palace that have housed Mali’fenn since almost the beginning. Structures such as Citadel of Acael, The Tundrak Palace, and The City of Tahu’lareh are some, to name a few. The Bilok’thuln mine resources, smiths, armour, weapons, cook food, tends to farmlands animals, hunt, and fish.

• Clinic~The Tahu'lareh Clinic of Fenn is a safe, comfortable building where the sick or wounded can go to receive treatments through practical and medicinal means. The clinic is located on the bottom floor of the building with the massive's cross atop it, the floors above that reserved for the Tathvir bloodline manor.

• Housing District~The housing district is full of not only three-floor homes for single occupants but also large homes for families. All housing is free, and not a single occupant has to pay taxes. The stewards of Fenn are more than happy to assist in any way possible regarding housing, and we’re continually updating the housing district. To ensure that we only house active citizens, weekly activity checks are conducted by the Grand Steward.

• Ivae’fenn~Currently, the largest standing Elven military on Arcas, the Ivae'fenn stand watch over Tahu'lareh and all Fennic lands. They are tasked with defending the city and its inhabitants to the death if need be. Easily identifiable by their uniform, which bears the colour of their rank accordingly. All crime should be reported to the nearest Ivae'fenn soldier. If you wish to enlist and protect Fenn, find the nearest Ivae'fenn official, and they will guide you through the enlistment process. Snow Elves and citizens of Fenn interested in enlisting can look here:

• Library~Over a hundred books in counting. For centuries Fenn has been at a loss of Mali’fenn writings and general knowledge about the world, but with the move to Arcas, their library has begun its constant search for books and knowledge on their own heritage.
• The Free Market of Fenn~The Free Trade Zone at the foot of Fenn’s capital city of Tahu’lareh is a testament to the nation's freedom and independence from the outside world.TheMali’fenn of Tahu’lareh is not unwelcoming to outsiders and tradespeople of life, as they view the division of race and class to be unimportant and redundant. Getting your own stall is as simple!

• Tavern~The Silver Snowflake is frequently bustling with the clangour of bottles accompanied by a steady roar of voices. The bar acts as the very lifeblood of the tavern, supplying a steady stream of unique beverages imported from all across Arcas. Every week, new drinks are swapped out for the old ones, each of which is sold at a fair and honest market price. Located no more than twenty feet from the last seat of the bar is the primary source of drinking entertainment for the patrons of the Silver Snowflake: the local fight pit. Here, the ordinary laws of the Princedom are cast aside, following a unique set of rules. Disagreements and disputes are commonly settled within the borders of the fight pit, as are fun challenges and tournaments. While most outsiders will view the fight pit as a barbaric source of entertainment hidden within the confines of a well-masked tavern, the citizens of Fenn see it as a way to let off steam and keep their skills sharp for what the future may hold.

• Temple of Wyrvun ~The Temple of Wyrvun is a place of worship, and forum. It is made up of a long hall with a giant statue of Wyrvun at the back end of it with glass-stained windows to the side and two towers on either side of the building. The two on the front are much larger than the two in the centre. In the centre of the building, is a podium for different speakers and priests to place their things as they commence different rituals or explain different ideas and topics. Just in front of the podium is a sacrificial table where different animals are taken and given as a sacrifice to the six aengul and aelor of Wryvun.

Irrinor

Irrinor is the homeland of the Wood Elven people on the continent of Arcas. It is the centre of the elnarnsae’ame- the wilderness faith that forms the core of wood elven culture. The town was more grown than it was built, and visitors will be able to marvel at the massive trees that shade the naturalistic forest paths, and the austere shrines to the Mani spirits that the locals worship. Homes are built into the trees themselves as if woven seamlessly into nature. X 1657, Z -665The Nation is quite close to the Princedom of Fenn, to get there from Cloud Temple, follow the signs leading to Fenn, before you arrive, there will be a detour path from the main road labelled “Irrinor”, follow that to the city.

Peak Times  Late afternoon EST (6-10PM), however we have a sizable GMT and AEST community for all you Aussies and Europeans out there.

The route from cloud temple.

Notable Locations and Information

• Clinic~The clinic within Irrinor is home to many skilled healers. The Mali that runs this clinic uses their extensive knowledge of the natural remedies that they believe their gods have blessed them with to cure illness and treat physical harm. These methods are especially effective when an attuned drui' enhances the physical properties of the herbs used through the gift of their magic. More than just healing is offered at the clinic within Irrinor. Any Mali seeking to learn the healing arts may also petition the lower council member assigned to run the clinic for lessons in the arts.

• Housing~The wood elves of Irrinor prefer to make their homes high off of the forest floor. One with nature, they build their homes around the trunks of great trees that stretch into the sky, creating platforms that reach around the trunk of the tree that link with one another with a series of walkways. This, however, does not mean that they limit themselves to the trees as many seeds will make their clan halls on the forest floor. It is, however, the ideology of the wood elves to live with nature, rather than exploit and develop the lands to suit their needs.

• Omentahu~The Seed is the principal unit by which the core of Mali’ame society runs, and this must be reflected in Irrinor, the principal home of all Mali’ame. Located within the centre of Irrinor, this giant tree serves as many things, but as you reach the top, you can spot the council chambers where events such as the Omentahu are held. The system of Diarchy that ruled us during the inception of our young country did not correctly represent the tribal bodies that make up the heart of our society. Therefore, to ensure stability in our homeland, the power of government must be put in the hands of a council of Seed Chieftains, headed by an elected High Chieftain. The Omentahu is formed of two parts- the High Chieftain of Irrinor, and the Council of Roots.

• Okarn’ame ~ el'Okarn'ame, or the Forest Guard of Irrinor, is the primary military force of the Forest Realm. While their main focus is the defence of Irrinor's people, they also march out to eradicate unnatural threats to the world and assist Irrinor's friends and allies. It is headed by an Annilir, the commander in common terms, who leads el'Okarn'ame with a left and right hand known as Medirir. To find them, one must only visit Irrinor itself to see the elven guards going about their day-to-day.

Religon

Aspectism:a wood elven belief. Aspectism is the ritual worship of the two gods of the wild, Cernunnos and Cerridwen. It is the main religion of the Wood-elves. It is the central pillar to the Wood Elves culture, tradition and identity.

Brandybook

The village of Brandybrook is where the halflings call home. Build next to the city of Aegrothond, Brandybrook has a lovely ocean view along with fertile farmland. The halflings of Brandybrook care little for the affairs of the outer world, focusing their attention upon tea parties and drinking nights. No doubt Brandybrook is one of the most welcoming places you'll ever visit. But don't go there wearing shoes!

The Burrows ~ Unlike most descendants, the halflings do not live in regular houses. They live in what they call a burrow, which are usually small and cozy holes in the ground. Halflings make the best effort to ensure their guests feel welcomed and secure within their burrows, often having lots of food and drinks within their abodes.

Sharing is Caring ~ The halflings are a very peaceful and gentle race, often seeking to share anything they have with others. Due to this belief, they never lock their chests within their homes. Doing this is considered being a good neighbor, allowing anyone to take whatever resources they need. Don't get greedy though, or it's considered being a bad neighbor.
