Ferriall

Ferriall is home to the only Elvish community on Yarra. Beautiful wooded land covers the entirety of the Ferr peninsula. The entire world was once home to the elves, but as the younger races grew in power and prominence the elves retreated to the north. Evidence of the past elvish decadence can be found on almost every landmass across Yarra, although the Ferriall elves are extremely secretive and elusive; almost unknown everywhere else.

History
History is recorded in terms of years ago (I.A. "iam ante" - "before now"). For example, 200 I.A. was 200 years ago.

Height of the Elvish Empire (~4,000 I.A.)
Elvish cities and nomadic societies are everywhere on Yarra: Ferriall holds no special meaning other than being the most isolated woodland area - only connected to the mainland by the dangerous Scandin Tundra (then uninhabited).

Elvish Retreat (2,317 I.A.)
Elves leave the Pröt continent, relocating to the unknown Ferr peninsula, creating what would be the new elvish capital, Ferriall.

Present Day
Currently, not much is known. The elves are unknown to the other peoples of Yarra. The only contact with outsiders has been with gutsy explorers, whom rarely return from their ventures and never return with any sensible story to tell.

Physical Geography
A knee-shaped peninsula, joined to the northern pole. Woodland and forest cover most of the land, progressively denser as you look south. Over the centuries, the elves have encouraged rapid growth of the local flora, while they use to maintain their hidden status.

Climate
Weather is surprisingly warm for such a northerly location. A strange force seems to guard the peninsula from the icy winds blowing down from Scandin, explorers have noted an odd and sudden shift in the climate as one passes from the tundra into the woodland (more stark than one might expect at any rate). In the most extreme of cases, remnants of unsuccessful expeditions have been found frozen just yards away from willow trees blossoming as if spring.
