Elven Islands

Formation
The Elven Islands are perched above the North Eastern part of Grahelon, right above the ruins of the Dar Kolhir mountains, which is now called the Torn Lands.

The islands were formed during the First Age, when the elves were at war with the goliath and orcs. Faced with the destruction of their civilization, they gathered their most powerful mages and tore the cities from the earth in an event that is referred to as the Rising.

In their haste, the dwarves who lived in and under the mountain recieved no warning, and were left to fight the opposing armies on their own. Thousands of lives were lost is the rising of the city, dwarven mines and homes were destroyed, and many elves were left stranded on the ground in all of the chaos.

Current Events
Currently, in the 215th year of the Second Age, the islands are doing well. They have established themselves as the magical research capital of Grahelon, and have made quite a few steps forward in the world of research in general.

Apperance
They overall look of the cities is very neat. The roads are all paved, they have their own form of streetlights. All of the building have a very art nouveau look to them and most of them are multiple stories tall. Despite all of the buildings and roads, the cities are packed with large trees. The roots of which are woven into bridges that connect the islands.
