Mythas Caelora

Mythas Caelora, the hidden enclave of elves in the forest known to the orcs of the land as the haunted/cursed forest "The Wretched Grove".

Situated near the river, this hidden enclave of elves that wandered out from the Revalman region some two-thousand years ago in search of a place to call home.

Their journey was far from simple and skirmishes with the orcs of the region halted their travels somewhere in the forest later known as the Wretched Grove. Named as such due to the elves making it their home out of a need for a safe place and shaping it into a defensible yet hidden bulwark designed to confuse the simple mind of an orc and lead them into dangerous traps or infinitely stretching mazes few orcs returned from without bodily or mental harm.

The constant threat and often skirmishes with orcs roaming the region has led them to be a highly warrior like society, with even the most menial of labours doubling as a defender or offensive style of occupation in dire times. Occupations such as trackers and foragers that work the forest to provide food for the enclave have a two-fold job as not only scouts but ensuring they stay hidden so they cannot be captured and betray the location of the enclave under torture.

All facets of life in the enclave is shaped by this need to be ready and alert but the people there have developed a strong sense of honor and respect for their home. Their hierarchy is based on village elders who either have excelled in defending the enclave or designing measures to strike out at orc war-parties with minimal risk to the population.

Elven Bladesingers have risen from this place as wizards and those of the magical inclination must know how to defend themselves with blade aswell as magic should their magic fail them or they face the dreaded long siege of an orc attack that might exhaust their pools of magic. A style of either battle-chanting to one's own rythm and luring the enemy into it or using the clang of weapons as a beat or rythm to the song developed quickly and became highly effective at disrupting the average orcs savage and erratic style of fighting.
