[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 1326661, member: 2012"] [B]A different style of overview [COLOR=DarkOrange]OVERVIEW OF THE GREAT FOREST[/COLOR][/B] The Great Forest of Harqual. This expansive forest stretches from the southern edge of the Greystone Mountains to the northern shore of Lake Qualitian. In between are the traditional homelands of the silver and forest elves of Harqual. The Kingdom of the Silver Leaves is the primary homeland of the silver elves. This kingdom dominates the Great Forest on the northern and western side of Lake Silverleaf, which is also considered silver elf territory. In truth, the lake isn't controlled by the elves in-so-much as it is protected by them. The kingdom's ruler, the High One of the Silver Leaves, is a veteran of both ogre wars. [B]Menkhar Silversun[/B] (NG male silver elf, sorcerer 8/ranger 8/wild soul 10) is a hero to his people and one of the most famous elves on the continent. Far to the south of Silverleaf is the fallen homeland of the forest elves. This region, until recently, has always been known as the Knotwood. It included all the forested lands south of the Deep Hold Hills. Woodknot was the capitial city and the forest elves preferred to keep to themselves.
