The Elahána Forest, or just Elahána, is a moderately-sized Elven kingdom located to the east of The Republic of Ustendelle. The royal family has four branches, known as houses, which are Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. One of these houses holds the throne at any given time, and is during that period labelled the House Ascendant. Traditionally, the Ascendancy has rotated through the afore-detailed list, but approximately 380 years ago the houses of Water and Fire conspired to share power between themselves, to the detriment of Air and Earth.
The Elahánan economy runs primarily on its exclusive ability to grow songwood, a hardy, magic-infused product that is able to be woven into any shape needed. The magic required to grow and shape this wood is a closely-held secret of the Elahánan people.
The largest city in Elahána is the capital, Saaenabelle, but also of note are its coastal port Alder and farming centre, Holly. Though the country is a legal monarchy, the common people rarely see effects of the Houses on their daily lives.
A naturally peaceful society, most of Elahána’s elves are pacifists, orators, artists, or mages. The country has no military, instead relying on the magic of its forests for defence. It is highly educated, with most elves experiencing some private tutoring before entering the state-funded school system. The high level of education has allowed Elahána to lead the known world in the personal freedoms and rights of its citizens. The elves of Elahána are almost all vegetarian, and all native dishes to the region are plant-based.
