[QUOTE="lexoanvil, post: 4995779, member: 61272"] [SIZE=5][U]oakspire[/U][/SIZE] [U]history[/U] Oakspire has for the past 1600 years been the last large settlement of the dwarves on the material plane. originally a mining settlement on the peak of mount simariil named after the its original inhabitant a gold dragon. soon after simariil's dissaperence the dwarves moved in to mine for emeralds and large deposits of mythril in bedded into the center of the mountain. after several generations of dwarf inhabitants mining the mountian had devolpoed a massive crater at the peak of the mountian; with connecting tunnles leading even deeper in to the mountian. some rumors said the tunnles lead to the underdark. these rumors were cemented as fact when in 162 a drow raiding party poured from their own tunnles and caused massive damage to the settlement. the drow were eventully repeled back to the underdark. for 3 years the mining settlements progress was put into a standstill due to the fear of a second attack. at this point a group of surviving eladrin whom in years past had experienced a caticlysmic event them left them sepperated and exsiled from their former eladrin brothers. banished by their former home they found refuge with the dwarves after they pledged their support to the dwarves in fighting the drow. for 30 years the newly named elves and dwarves fought the drow in a vicious war when at long lastthey had repeled the drow from their former settlement. in celibration the elves planted a seed they had brought back with them from the fey wild and planted it into the heart of the mountian. by the year 1298(current year) the seed has formed into a massive tree that envelopes the crater with the roots pouring into the tunnles of the mountian. dwarven homes and bussinesses are sprawled in the walls of the crater while the elven population resides in homes hanging from the branches of the great tree. the tree itself has taken on the properties of the mountain with its bark as strong as mythril and every fall emerald leaves from the tree fall in the crater. the emerald leaves have been used prominently in the craftsmenship collectively by both races in art weapons and armor.
