Young master Ark
In Arindale, there is a beautiful place called Elvendell, known for its harmony with nature. The homes here are crafted from the trunks of old oak trees and decorated with complex, swirling vines, making them look like elegant, living trees.
These wooden structures looked very similar to the homes preferred by Dryads, mythical beings thought to embody the forest. Some even believed that the Elves were actually descendants of these Dryads, born from a union between nature spirits and humans.
This union, however, bestowed upon the Elves a slightly lesser connection to the natural world compared to their Dryad ancestors.
The Great Dragonic War, a cataclysmic event that had ravaged Galeia millennia ago, had left a deep scar on Arindale. The once-unified Elven race had fractured, with some choosing to remain in Arindale's idyllic isolation, while others, yearning for a more active role in the world, had ventured out to other lands.
