Qualinost

Qualinost is the name given by the high elves of the northern forest to their city, the surrounding forests, and the river that flows on the borders of their land. While humans see these as three distinct things that should each have their own names, the elves prefer to focus on how all are connected – and reliant on the other for survival.

The city itself is built high in the trees, formed out of living wood that has been magically shaped to become the structures of homes, shops, and public meeting spaces. In times of war, this elevated vantage also provides a great tactical advantage against invaders.

The Qualinesti Elves are ruled by a council of high priests who represent the various temples and religious sects inside the city.
