The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas is a Sindar Elven Kingdom founded in the forests of Quel'Thalas following the Lothlorian Civil War. The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas was originally founded as a place for the Sindar Elves that didn't like the Magi use of Athel Loren, but as time went by nearly all of the Sindar Elves of this ilk would move themselves here, and agression between their former Kingdom and the Quel'Thalas colony erupted into a civil war which ended with Quel'Thalas devestated but independant.

The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas is the constant enemies of Lothlorian and the other Lothlorian Elven Kingdom of San'Layn. They do maintain close ties with the Sindar Elves of High Forest, but the distance makes this a long range relationship at best. Following the rise of William Lovie as the King of Lucerne the relationship between Quel'Thalas and Lucerne has grown immensly to becoming Quel'Thalas's main ally and together they have cleared parts of the northeastern section of their lands.

The Forest of Quel'Thalas is one of the few forests in Europe that has no Trolloc or other such Dark beasts, and due to its nature as a truly Sindar Culture the amount of forest spirits and the like in Quel'Thalas is only rivaled by High Forest. Despite this fact the forest of Quel'Thalas is broken into several different regions in the form of Darkshore, Ashenvale, Tedrassil, and Fellwood of which each is nearly completely different in terms of safety and appearance.

Believing the Lothlorian Elves were forgetting the forest, the Quel'Thalas Elves began rousing those who wished to forget Magi , and return to the true Sindar way of living. This effort brought hundreds to the forest of Quel'Thalas and allowed the founding of the Kingdom. Following this the Elves that remained in Lothlorian continued to watch the disaster that was the growth of Magi, and as such the Lothlorian Civil War was fought. At the end of the war the remaining non-Lothlorian Elves were banished from Lothlorian, and added to the already sizeable population in Quel'Thalas. Unlike Lothlorian which spent centuries perfecting its defences with the exsistence of the runestones, the forest of Quel'Thalas is threatened from all sides by an ever increasing number of Trolloc, and Orc aggressors.

The Forest of Quel'Thalas is one of the few forests in Europe that has no Trolloc or other such Dark beasts, and due to its nature as a truly Sindar Culture the amount of forest spirits and the like in Quel'Thalas is only rivaled by High Forest. Despite this fact the forest of Quel'Thalas is broken into several different regions in the form of Darkshore, Ashenvale, Tedrassil, and Fellwood of which each is nearly completely different in terms of safety and appearance.

Tedrassil

See Also : Tedrassil

Teldrassil is an island and great tree within the northern section of Quel'Thalas within the Veiled Lake's northern coast. It is the new home of the reclusive Sindar Elves of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas and a stunning testament to the power of their connection with nature.

It was here that the Circle of the Ancients and the wise druids led by Fandral Staghelm pooled their power to create another World Tree, but on a smaller scale. They called this tree Teldrassil (“crown of the earth”) and built their city of Darnassusinitsbranches. The island takes the name of the "tree" as well, and a twilit forest now covers it. Teldrassil is truly massive, a huge trunk rising out of the sea and holding the entire Quel'Thalasian homeland, and the capital of Darnassus, in its boughs. The new tree was not blessed by the Aspects at its birth, unlike its predecessor. However, at Malfurion's and Tyrande's wedding, Alexstrasza and Ysera finally gave Teldrassil their blessing. The behemoth of a tree now dwarfs even Nordrassil, and is large enough that a decent amount of land has emerged atop its gargantuan limbs. Trees, flora, and fauna are now verdantly spreading across the magical tree.

Darkshore

See Also : Darkshore

Darkshore is a long strip of coast on the northwestern part of Quel'Thalas along the mighty Veiled Lake. It is known for its characteristically shadowed woods and rocky beaches, littered with ancient ruins and mountainside caves. The Sindar Elves of Quel'Thalas claim the shore as part of their new kingdom, and sentinels patrol the road from the port of Lor'danel towards Ashenvale to the south.

Rains, winds, rocky beaches, and sheer cliffs that have split the ground make the place inhospitable. Besides natural Sindar Elven ruins stand crumbling on the cliffs, infested with naga, satyrs, grell and haunting ghosts. Cultists of the Dark Strand and Twilight's Hammer ambush unwary travelers from their hideouts beyond the road. Even the seas are unsafe, as bloodthirsty frenzies, gigantic threshadons, and hostile murlocs lurk beneath the waves. The night elf village of Lor'danel serves as a friendly trading post.

Ashenvale

See Also : Ashenvale

Ashenvale, also known as Ashenvale Forest, is a wilderness region south of Darkshore and Felwood, west of Azshara, and north of the Stonetalon Mountains and the Barrens and inside of the larger forest of Quel'Thalas. It is the ancestral homeland of the Sindar Elves of Quel'Thalas before they removed themselves to Tedrassil, and those who remain in control of several holdings through the zone, including Astranaar, Maestra's Post, Silverwing Grove, and the Shrine of Aessina.

The Orcs have more recently established a settlement in the eastern part of the woods — Splintertree Post — as well as a smaller camp on the western beach — Zoram'gar Outpost — along with several Warsong camps situated from Kargathia Keep all through the southeast to the Mor'shan Rampart in the far south, and also captured and deforested Silverwind Refuge. The zone is heavily populated with furbolgs, satyr, and wild creatures such as spiders, wolves, and bears. The region is quite large, and running from the Zoram Strand to the Warsong Lumber Camp is quite an undertaking. Since the zone is contested there is often a lot of skirmishing going on throughout the woods, and attacks on the faction-based settlements are not uncommon.

Fellwood

See Also : Fellwood

Felwood Forest is lush and vibrant land of woods and meadows was tended by the kaldorei and protected by Cenarius. Bubbling streams ran through quiet, grassy meadows, and the summer sun was tempered by the whispering breeze and the cooling rain. The leafy corridors of the forest rang out with the music of songbirds. It was as close to a paradise as the Sindar Elves of the world has ever known.

History

The War in France

Main Article : War in France

The Orcish Invasion of Athel Loren This forest protects us. You shall never pass these walls. Never.

Orcish Invasion of Athel Loren Regina Eisenburg and Valeera would bond giving to the elimination of the resistence of the expanding relationship between Malitivan and Kael'Thalas. “Maybe not today. It might not be tomorrow. It might not be soon, but the truth is that every day you bring us closer to the humans is a day closer to them leading down a very bloody road. Blood and death are all there people know.” — Valeera Sunstrider The Kingdom of Lothlorian had historically been laize faire towards the Kingdom of Bretonia with the two mighty nations basically ignoring each other, but this changed dramatically following the meeting of Maltivian Eisenburg, and Kael'Thalas Sunstrider. Watching her husband grow closer to Maltivian it was Valeera Sunstrider that was constantly vigilant about protecting her husband from growing to close to the prince of the Bretonia. She warned Kael that the humans were not long for this world, and that getting involved with them would do nothing but bring trouble to the forests of Athel Loren. Despite her warnings Kael and Maltivian grew to be great friends and it was because of this friendship even more then the strategic importance that the Lothlorians became heavily involved in the War in France. Second Assault Total Defeat The Orcs would mass one more time with a larger force then the second time as they received nearly a hundred thousand more troops incoming from Hispania, and moved forward towards the First Gate Once More. This time the army was led by two High Orcs in the form of of whom Incorporated dozens of Orc Magi into their assault of which greatly weakened the effects of the Elven Magi defenses allowing the Orc scouts to move into the actual forests where skirmishes quickly broke out between the Sentinels defending the trees and the hundreds of Orc irregulars that flowed into the forests around the main gate.

Alliance with Lucerne

Main Article : Kingdom Of Lucerne

The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas sat nearbye the Lucernian fortress of Berne which they had asisted in the construction of in the hopes of gaining an alliance but following their assistence Bill Lovie stopped communicating with them. This upset the Elves but they had seen this behavior before and so they attempted to move on without the Lucernians even though they understood the moment Lothlorian decided they would be destroyed without assitence. This help came when Andrew Lovie attempted to blockade the fort of Berne but didn't want to maintain an army there for years so he turned to Quel'Thalas.

In order to do this Andrew sent emmisarries to meet with the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas whose forest extended to the bounderies of Berne and thus would be able to block them in if they so chose to do. When his emmisaries arrived they found that Quel'Thalas was willing to do this in return for an alliance with them which Andrew was quick to give them. So with the front door closed his forces returned to Lucerne while a small contingent remained along with a larger force of the Elves of Quel'Thalas.

The West

Main Article : Grand State of Tristfall

The West Our future was not simply in Westros. The west needed to be both protected and grown.

“The King wanted the lands claimed as it was for him an abomination that the Orcs held onto the lands that were once human. With blood and tears we took the land and did our best to hold it.” — Harrold Hardyng The wedding of Hanna Arryn and Harrold Krinner had sparked the beginning of the idea for the conquest of Tristfall to become more then just an idea and with this plan now growing it would be three main elements moving forward in the form of the gathering of more forces for the armies. Sansa Starke and Harrold Hardyng would join William in the trip back to Lucerne where they were to meet with many of the Lucernian state noblemen in order to help gain more people for the colonization. Arriving there Sansa would become a growing influence as her kindness and gentle personality were something many of the nobles gravited towards, and her former family in House Starke supported her heavily. After spending many weeks in Lucerne she and Harrold would travel southward to Forks and rally many of the Lords of that state to their cause, but found less support among that state, although House Swan would send several smaller knightly houses to join with the colonization. Travelling finally southward to Highgarden they would find more support among House Tyrell of whom would send Lyonel Flowers of whom would be forming another cadet branch of House Tyrell in return for her being legitimized by House Arryn, and Lyonel Flowers would bring several hedge knight houses and nearly a thousand troops as well. Following this they would leave for Berne where the colonization efforts would begin. In Tristfall itself during this time Margot Robbet had found herself fighting against an Orcish agression for the first time in many years, and this led to her sending scouts out of the forest for the first time in that same period, and it was at this point that she met with some of the more eastern surviving members of the humans of Tristfall, and they would tell her that the Kingdom of Lucerne was massing for an attack all across Tristfall, and the Elves of Quel'Thalas were looking as if they might join with them. Realizing that this was her chance to make her people stronger she would prepare her Knights of the Quill for battle, and leave her younger sister in command of Robbet Forest, and she prepared to leave for Berne with her forces. “Getting support from the other lords was just one part of what was going to be a truly inspiring crusade my dear. Sweet Sansa look out into the world, and what do you see. I see a world corupted and damaged by the Orcs, and I mean to change that. This is our land. Soon the Orcs shall understand that.” — Harrold Hardynd Back in Berne Sansa Starke would join alongside her new husband as he was tasked by House Arryn to colonize and expand into the region west of Berne. Using the influence and power given to him by William Lovie III. they begin forming the army for colonization as the reinforcements from all across Lucerne travelled to the lands of Berne. One of the first tasks that the human forces of Lucerne would have was to make contact with the broken human elements that still remained in the lands of Tristfall of which there were many thousands surrounded by ten times that amount of Orcs. Living in the forests and along rivers these human remnents would be contacted and prepared for the coming crusade against the unaware Orcs. One of the first of these groups was the Knights of the Quill led by Margot Robbet of whom swore themselves to House Hardyng and joined with the growing army of Berne. Sansa Starke would join her husband and Paul Arryn as they met with the Sindar Elves of Quel'Thalas, of whom were going to align with them in order to clean the land of the Orcs. The Elves of Quel'Thalas The Elves arriving at Berne would be another notch in the growing Lucerne-Elven alliances under William Lovie III. “The Elves were so majestic in their appearance. Despite knowing these were not the High Elves that had begun to settle their own town in southern Lucerne, these Sindar Elves had their own magnificence.” — Sansa Starke The Elves had been following the situation in Tristfall very closely since the end of the Battle of Berne, and with the tensions very low with Lothlorian at the moment they would meet in oder to decide as a people if they wanted to completely throw their lot in with the Kingdom of Lucerne. Franklin Brent would first notice them when several of his scouts reported signs of Elven ambushes against Orcs near the forest, and he relayed this information to the overall commander in Gunthor Mountain of whom would relay a message to the Quel'Thalasian Elves that they were open to meeting. The leading members of the Senate of Quel'Thalas would request a meeting with King William Lovie III. of which - since William was at this point very far away - they would have via a Magi stone. William Lovie would be able to assist Alleria Windrunner in convinsing Marinda Oakwhisper that the Lucernians meant them only friendship when he revealed how in his dealings with both the High Elves, and the Lothlorian Elves he had made it clear that the Quel'Thalasian Elves were his friend and would not be harmed, and this was the reason that tensions had disapeared with Lothlorian. Seeing truth in his eyes Marinda Oakwhisper would become a direhard loyalist of the Lucernian alliance, and personally commanded some two hundred of her priestesses to the campaign in Tristfall. “For too long my friends we have allowed fear to be greater then ourselves. These Orcs are an abomination, and it is time that we protect not simply the forest, but we protect the world from their blight. You have my support William Lovie III.” — Marinda Oakwhisper Under the command of Thranduil some three hundred Sindar Elves, and another two hundred Priestesses of Elune personally led by Marinda Oakwhisper entered Berne where the talks begin about the terms of the coming crusade. Gunthor Mountain was grateful for their help, and the Elves were heavily placed in a position to assist them all along the forest of Quel'Thalas but especially in the northwest of Tristfall where the Elves would lead the one thousand strong force of Forks led by Ser Donnel Swann of whom would assist them in the northwest while the main force moved in that same direction but from Berne. The Elves would mass in large numbers northward from their forests and would ambush and kill as many Orcs as they possibly could. Special notice was made to make sure the Elves would be able to assist the small villages of humans in the area as every human they saved was one person to add to the army and to add to the possiblity of the future of the land. The Elves described a series of large bridges that allowed crossing over the cliff coasts of the River Berne, and said that in order to hold off the Orcs long term these bridges would need to be destroyed. Thranduil and the Elven forces would at this point recieve reniforcements from there own side in the form of Legolas, and Tauriel of whom both would lead another five hundred Quel'Thalasian Elves into the crusade for Tristfall. By this point they were in full scale fighting with the Bleeding Hollow Clan, but were killing them in their hundreds due to poor leadership on their side, and they had gained nearly a full thousand more troops through the rescueing of stranded humans in the northwest. Cleaning of Tristfall “The land was infested with the Orcs. You didn't understand just how many until you actually looked at it from the sky, and saw their emcampents dotting the former lands of Bretonia.” — Griffin Rider When the Elves left Harrold Hardyng massed the vast army of Lucerne and begin preparing for the army and people joining them for the western journey. The area was somewhat deserted but using griphons to map the area for Orcish settlements they were able to ambush and massacre the Orcish encampents during the night with the assistence of the Sindar Elves of nearbye Quel`Thalas. These attackers were devestating to the Orcish population, and over the course of two months nearly half the Orcs of Trisfall were butchered in this way, while many thousands of others retreated westward away from the demons that killed them in the night. While this happened the mass flying might of Lucerne would provide support to the surviving humans of Tristfall of whom were armed and fed, and with these supplies they begin preparing themselves to do any kind of damage they could to the Orcs of Tristfall. By this point the Orcs were being pushed back all across the front, and the Blackrock Orcs begin to hear reports from their loyalists in the area about this, and back in Blackrock Mountain a large Orc force was massed in order to attack whatever force the humans were mustering. Led by Blackhand's twin sons this force would make its way southward, but along the way the Frostfang Orcs were reported to be attacking Bleeding Hollow Orcs and thus the twins would change their father's orders and instead moved towards attacking the hated Frostfang Orcs. The Orcs in Trisftall though still had sizeable numbers and the bridges still were in place so they were of great danger to the colonization of Tristfall due to the enormous numbers of Orcs surrounding Tristfall. The Order of the Blue Dragon would become heavily involved during this stage when Khadgar led a large contingent of the Order into the main camp of the army in order to assist. Flying many behind the main lines they would land a contingent of forces near many of the bridges of which the Order of the Blue Dragon would plan the operation to destroy the bridge and thus cutting off the Orcs from being able to swarm into the area. With the destruction of that last bridge the routes into Tristfall were all but cut outside of the pathway that would be fortified and a castle built onto it. “The Bridges were the end of the line for the Orcs. There was basically one true land route into Tristfall if you took out the bridges, and that showed you right there their value.” — Irelia Hardyng Khadgar would split his force into dozens of piece with two main fronts being the northern river, and the western river. Leaving the northern river in charge of Irelia Hardyng the sister of Harrold he would take the majority of the Elven forces and prepare to destroy the western bridges, while Irelia was given most of the Swann forces in order to assist her. Across the operation it went mainly according to plan but along the northern river the Orcs had built a town of sorts around one of the bridges, and it was here where Irelia massed most of her forces including herself, and four other Blue Dragons in the form of Brann Roil, Traevin Rivers, Orden Snow, and Larra Marbrand of whom would summon spells for hours before the attack preparing to basically light the side of the town that was on the Tristfall side of the river on fire, and then during the confusion kill those who retreated southward, and at the same time Brann Roil would destroy Larra Marbrand would summon explosives onto the bridge and destroy it. The plan worked extremly well when the town nearly exploded after the fire of the spells struck several explosve piles the Orcs had placed around the town, and as the fire spread it engulphed the bridge and the town killing most of the town and destroying the bridge as well. The hundreds of Orcs that retreated from the inferno found themselves caught in a crossfire as Donnel Swann's forces would massacre them. Force Sent Leader Stength House Mountain Gunthor Mountain Nearly 2,500 Men at arms, and 220 Dragon Knights. House Scorpian Maron Scorpian Nearly 2,000 Men at arms, and 250 Dragon Knights. House Swann Donnel Swann Nearly 1,500 Men at arms, and 350 Dragon Knights. House Brent Franklin Brent Nearly 1,000 Men at arms, and 85 Dragon Knights House Blackwood Tytos Blackwood Nearly 1,000 Men at arms, and 75 Dragon Knights. House Tyrell Lyonel Flowers Nearly 1,500 Men at arms, and 60 Dragon Knights. “The Orcs massed as we moved as if they just biologically knew that there was a fight coming. Thousands of Orcs arrayed themselves against us, but caught between our forces they were crushed.” — Harrold Hardyng As the main army of Lucerne moved westward they worked alongside the Sindar Elves of Quel'Thalas to massacre the Orcs, but the further westward they got they begin to encounter news from the Sindar Elves and the Griffins that boded ill. The Orcs begin massing near the front lines in a huge force of tens of thousands. This large force was targeted from the sides by the Elves of Quel'Thalas of whom picked them off in ambushes, while they moved towards the main force. Gunthor Mountain would move the main Lucerne army towards this force, and met Franklin Brent's force, and Maron Scorpian's recently arrived force near a large lake. The Elves continued to harrass them, and battle was prepared when the suprise arrival of Tytos Blackwood and some eight hundred men with him caused them to wait several more days before fighting the Orcs. When Tytos arrived at the front he told them that he had been sent by his father in order to form his own wing of House Blackwood in the new land and would assist however he could, and his eight hundred men joined Maron Scorpian north of the lake where they would come down against the Orcs once battle was met.  Greengarden See Also : Greengarden “This was the site of our greatest victory my love, and now it shall be the site of our future. We shall raise our children here. We shall raise a palace here so large, and expansive that you shall forget the scale of Stormwind.” — Harrold Hardyng With the main army still moving westward Harrold Hardyng would in his own mind find a perfect spot by the edge of the lake where they had won their great victory, and Harrold would call in the Order of the Grey Dragon, in order to found the capital of this new land. The Order of the Grey Dragon had been commanded to send a large force to Berne in preperation for both the founding of castles in the area, but also the founding of population centers, and this effort was led by Henry Feleden of whom would following this request move towards the area with some two hundred armed men gaurding him and his nearly one thousand construction workers of whom had been raised from the Order. Founding the town of Greengarden it would be the very important Sansa Starke wife of Harrold Hardyng that would arrive there and she would become the High Lady of the new castle and town, thus rising her to a level she thought wouldn`t have been possible with House Hardyng. The walls, and houses were all that was completed before Henry was forced to move northward hearing word that the opening of Brionne had become a battleground and they would need him there once they took the position. The construction of Greengarden would continue under the command of Orellian of whom was the Maester of House Hardyng and he went about quickening the pace alongside Sansa Starke while Harrold led some three hundred of his personal forces to assist in the northern fight. “I was used to the royal nature of Stormwind, so when we built Greengarden and basically started from the beggining...it was a change.” — Sansa Starke The rustic lifestyle of Greengarden would take its tole on her as they were forced to deal with the constant threat of the Orcs that were still present in the area, and there were also significant numbers of Trollocs in the area, but despite all of this they were able to push forward with the construction, and Sansa would discover several days after Harrold had left for the north that she was pregnant with their first child of whom must have been consieved during their wedding night as Orellian discovered she was quite far along. Around the same time as this the forces of House Scorpian would encounter several ruined mines, and deciding this would be a good spot for themselves they withheld knowing about the mines, and begin founding their own town in the form of Skarp of which they brought in many of their peasents from their lands in Lucerne. Tristfall Secured “It was the final step to finishing them, and everyone of us knew it. ” — Gunthor Mountain With the destruction of the bridges, and the lack of reinforcements from Blackrock the situation had deteriorated completely for the Orcs, and the Bleeding Hollow Clan would gather their remaining forces with the remaining Laughing Skull Clan and made there way towards the land opening of which was the site of the ruins of the town of Brionne. The Elves would see this retreat, and were able to make their way there quickly as well massacring scattered Orc forces as they moved about trying to reach this spot, and once the Elves reached the area they constantly bombarded the Orcish position forcing them to not move within the fortifications the ruins of Brionne provided. Khadgar and the Blue Dragons would move behind their ranks, and create illusions, and elementals which forced the Orcs to further remain in the same spot and by the time the Orcs had rallied enough at Brionne to become a problem the main Lucerne army had arrived to meet with the Elves and the Orcs were now losing incredible numbers to the entrenched forces of the Lucerne army and their allies outside Brionne. Realizing the numbers were going to switch away from them the Orcs would become enraged to the point that they begin splintering but a large force of several thousands charged southward towards the entrentched main Lucerne army. A fierce battle broke out and the Orcs begin to split through the Lucerne lines causing some to retreat, but Donnel Swann would charge into the breach with his Swann Knights and engaged the largest Orc he could find, and after a long battle he killed the Orc causing the rest to pull back where they were shot to pieces by the overwhelming numbers around them. “On the ruins of Brionne we would build the foundation of our future in Tristfall.” — Gunthor Mountain With the Orcs of Tristfall collapsed, and what few remained in the land itself now heavily outnumbered the Order of the Grey Dragon was brought in nearly their entire number in Tristfall to the ruins of Brionne where they would begin construction of the fortress of New Brionne. Built between the flowing two rivers this would be the site of the major fortress that would defend the region from any attack from the northern lands. House Dumner one of the vassals of House Hardyng was given control of the province of Brionne and the fortress itself, and it would be under their care alongside a large Order of the Red Dragon contingent that the fortress would be maintained. The province of Scolpian was created west of Brionne under the command of House Scorpian of Tristfall, and they would control a large number of mines in their lands making this a powerful position. The Tinterlands were created north of Greengarden, and west of Scolpian and since they contained the forces of the Robbet forest they were given to the newly recreated House Robbet of whom was led by Margot Robbet and well known for the Knights of the Quill. A meeting was decided to be held later to decide on the rest of the southern provinces of the new Grand State of Tristfall of which they knew that they would not control as House Arryn was the Arch Lord of the Grand State, while House Hardyng controlled the State of Tristfall.

Goverment

The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas is ruled in a Senatorial Fashion with a council of leaders making the civil decisions of the Kingdom. The military decisions of the city are decided on by the Sentinel General Alleria Windrunner, of whom stands as the Ranger General of the Sentinels, while the civil decisions of the Kingdom are nominally decided on by the High Priestess of Elune of whom is the religious and cultural leader of the Kingdom.

Quel'Thalas Council of Light

The Council meets on a monthly basis, but will obviously meet if the need arises. Because their are 18 members the Council Chambers are held in Darnassus within the Temple of the Moon which is the nominal seat of the Priests of Elune alongside the Arch Druid of Quel'Thalas. The Quel'Thalas Council of Light is chosen and made up of the leaders of the different pieces of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, with the Sentinels holding five seats, the Druids holding five seats, five seats to the Ancients, two seats to the Priests of Elune, and one seat to the Wardens of Quel'Thalas.

Sentinels of Quel'Thalas

Main Article : Sentinels of Quel'Thalas

The Sentinels as with all truly Sindarian societies are defended by the Sentinels, of whom stand as the foot soilders of the army. In Quel'Thalas the Sentinels are unique in that men constitute the large majority of the total Sentinels, and this change is due to the fact that with such a small population the Kingdom has to lean on reproduction to increase themselves, and to do this many women must be protected.

Unique Spots

The Temple of the Moon is a massive structure within the city of Gail Alenia that is a religious site for the Sindar Elves, but is also the home of the Great Portal that connects the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and High Forest. The Temple of the Moon has been contstructed in exact replica in both kingdoms and for this reason it has a unerving feeling that you have not left your previous position and instead are in the same building which can occupy both lands.
