Isthilin

Isthilin is a region in the North west of Baeldor. It is the spiritual home of the elves and King Formosus II and the high elven council reside there. Its capital is the city of Ostharia which is vast and spreads out around a huge mountain, On top of the mountain is a Huge ancient tree known as the Crystal Tree which plays a vital role in the lives of all elves in Ostharia. Isthilin is bordered by the sea and none but elves are legally allowed to enter Isthilin. No non-elf has ever got past the docks in Ostharia, and should one try to pass the border into the actual city, they would be excecuted immediately. The high council of elves has a deal with all major factions in Baeldor, allowing them to excecute any trespassers. Isthilin is incredibly sacred to the elves and the thought of a non-elf there makes them feel incredibly uneasy and worried. Although most of the other factions in Baeldor are wondering what is kept secret in Isthilin, none dare to set foot and break the pacts against the elves.
