Elf Forests of Trokair

The elves of Trokair make their homes in isolated forests and, while they are open to alliance and mutual aid, outsiders are not welcome within their woods.

Some elves maintain outposts in their forests to receive visitors or fool trespassers. Others regularly patrol their borders to prevent entrance. The elves of Mahuul Maakh simply hide all trace of themselves and wait for intruders to leave (even if it takes a decade).

Each Elven forest grows where the veil between the mortal realm and the Elven homeland is thinnest. Within the heart of the woods, the elves are able to cross over to the true Elven cities for which each forest is named. These cities are grand beyond imagining, each with its own character and sovereign. They are jealously competitive amongst themselves but unite against threats to elvenkind.

The elves who travel to the mortal realm are magically sworn to secrecy regarding the truth of their homes (though many human sages suspect the truth regardless).
