Ærinorian Elves (/'ær-i-nor-an/)
Ærinoran elves come from Western Anvimar from Ærinor nation in the Wildewoods forest. While they are secretive about a great deal of their civilization, they have made efforts to facilitate trade with neighboring nations like Korinthia and the folk of the Brennish Foothills. However, while they trade at their boarder cities, export various goods, and even allow regular passage through the Wildewoods traderoutes, finding their inner villages and the capital of Ærindral is near impossible, for they control the very lands and the lands, it is said, respond to their commands, keeping their secrets safe.

Art & Architecture
The Wildewoods offer an abundance of jade which has become a centerpoint of both Ærinoran art and architecture. The elves have spent generations working the jade manually and magically to create towered structures from it blended with the forest trees, such that the jade often looks to be part of the trees and vice versa. The jade city of Salindral sits on the boarders as a shining example to the people of Korinthia of the wealth and power of the elves.
Elven jade artwork is highly prized throughout Anvimar, and it's believed even the Emperor Tzarjan has a large collection. Each noble house has their prize jade sculptor with respect in the art world being as cutthroat as any other political position. Raw jade is also in demand as a material resource and is a tighly controlled export.
Ærinor is also known for its wine and brandy, and it's a rare year that these are not important drinks at Spirit Fest.
