Hail Arleth!

Deciding Your Location...

Being a traditional Nedraw worshipping elf puts you somewhere on the Eastern side of the Bulwark River. Being a high elf, however, generally keeps you from the Dragon's Clutch, which is more inhabited by wood and wild elves. Therefore, you are somewhere West of the Wood of Last Words and not within the sickle pass and Peaks of Dragons...

Arleth, your tale begins in the elven founded town of Mosreed. Mosreed is the southernmost establishment in the country. It's on the Eastern side of the Bulwark River. That very river which divides the country in two is only about a days walk from your town. Unfortunately, crossing is another matter. The ferry is quite a ways North, and it would take you the better part of a week to get there on foot. Mosreed is rather remote. The closest village being River-Rest two days away, and the closest city Evitan which is right next to the ferry. As a ranger however, you would be happy. Mosreed is within vision of the Wood Of Last Words, the vastest forest in the lands. The town depends on the wood for a lot of its food, since caravans normally go no farther than the sickle pass. You can expect a crowd every two monthes when a wagon does make its way to your town. Mosreed's primary trading partner is River-Rest, and the relationship between the two civilizations is remarkable. There are no other places that hold such a bond in the whole of the country. Your other neighbor would be the Dragon's Clutch, which is a union of the three elven settlements of Todmey, Llitrium, and Retaw. There are two ways to get there. One is to take the sickle pass from River-Rest, which will take about 5 days. The other is to journey through the Wood of Last Words. A quicker path at 2 days, but far more trecherous. Your role in town is like that of all the other rangers. First and foremost, you must help hunt and forage for your town. Each ranger has a quota to fill each month, and the rest of the time is free for them to explore. Though you do not spend so much time in your town, you do know it like the back of your hand. It is not a crowded place, and truly rather peaceful, as any threats come from the wood. It houses shrines, one to your god Nedraw, the other to the goddess Liril. The majority of classed peoples in Mosreed are druids and rangers like you. In spite of its remote location, Mosreed does recieve a fair amount of visitors. (Mainly from The Dragon's Clutch and River-Rest.) The tavern is in the Western-most corner of the town, and is called "The Bear's Cave." Your home is on the Eastern border, as close to the woods as you could dare.

There you are! Hope that's detailed enough for you! You'll begin exploring Mosreed as soon as I decide to kindle the game.
