Posted in The Shadow Road on May 24, 2009 by coyoteandthunder

After the Fall of Brother’s Head fort the Civil War turns into a conventional war against the powers of Ragyiel against the united powers of the people of Berenium: The Elves of House Fuhema, the Dwarves of Gnarfold, the Dream Thief elves, and the Skyhunter Griffon Riders. The Front, now running twenty miles down the Salt Road on the eastern banks of the Night Crossing River will define how fighting may or may not cease in Gavin Wel Valley.

There are 200 elves living here and they do not have any alignment to the Northern war between the Starbloom and the Deep River elves.
