Ayarauca

To call Ayarauca the home of the elves would do this land a disservice, for it is so much more. A thick, humid, loud and restless jungle, it is filled with creatures large and small, and the dangers they bring at every turn. Even some of the plants here have an agenda. Ayarauca is thought to be as ancient as the winged residents of Drachenward.

Tall mahogany and palm trees with enormous canopies cover so much of this rainforest that from a bird's eye view it appears to be under one giant green blanket. The sounds of feral beasts, swinging and screaming monkeys, the hiss of serpents and the snapping of large venus flytraps never seem to cease. Then, there are the rains. Ayarauca experiences rainfall throughout the year. No month goes by without rain, rather it's a matter of how intense the downpour gets. Occasionally, rainfall becomes a full monsoon, lashing the area with whips of water that can sweep away plant and animal alike.

The elves of Ayarauca play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem's balance. They are fierce, borderline feral protectors, unyielding in their brutal response to any attempts to disrupt that balance. Would be loggers are executed, dismembered and sent back to their homes as a message. Foolhardy explorers are apprehended, tried quickly and leave with severe injuries, if they leave at all. Those seeking knowledge or fortune in Ayarauca do so knowing that the elves, the beasts and even some of the plants could end their hopes at any moment.
