Its molten center close to the surface, its rich soil ever renewing in fire, and its abundant water falling from the sky an ocean at a time, only to be shot back up in geyser. A green carpet of life covers every inch of the planet. Creatures, species, animals, beasts, birds and insects of countless variety fill the Great Forest.

The Domain of Nature
Discovery, ScientificAn Elmar named Ti'rolon discovers the Domain of Nature while tending his garden. His close observations of the garden proves to him that some force is at play in Greenhallow beyond physics. His tireless study of the Garden for half a century reveils to him a Pattern of forces he calls Greentending. Ti'rolon is the first of the world to use Greentending to shape the world.
With Greentending and their master craftbuilders, the Elmar apply their trades and knowledge to build cities of exquisite beauty, size, and scale.

Rite of Passage
ExtinctionThe Elmar civilization disappears over one season. All Elmar believed they had been called to Stormfall as their final rite of passage. They all elect to make the Pilgrimage. The nation of Elmar collectively enter the Malestrom of the Rift without the aid of the Black Company. Their fate is unknown, but none on Talus ever saw the Elmar arrive to shore.
The few who ignored the call became known as the Elmari. Those that stayed were predisposed to overly protective and isolationist tendencies. Overtime the Elmar changed with limited interaction with the outside world, becoming Elmari. The Elmari are now the sheltered children of the Elmar, protected in their parent's home and unwilling to venture forth into the wilds.

The Vike
Life, BirthVike, a previously curious but unintelligent species, arise as an intelligent race when they discover, by accident, the power of chemistry. Their first discovery was a poison that fending off predators. This advantage gave the Vike enough time to experiment with other combinations. Chemistry leads to crafting, tool building, and structural architecture. The Vike prove to be clever but reckless. Objects are built for effect and function, not longevity. The Vike as a people set out to borrow items from the Elmar, Tril, and even the Grootoosh to further their tinkering.

The First Chair
Metaphysical / Paranormal eventThe First Chair of Grootoosh, a title given to the Clipping who 'sits' on the Elmar throne in the former city of Ely, takes the Pilgrimage to Talus as an ambassador to the Talus Dominion. The First Chair is the first Pilgram awarded passage through the Black Company, and thus the first of Greenhallow to arrive at Talus.
After the First Chair, many Vike, Baab-Kiki-Tril, Grootoosh, and even a few Elmari, have made the journey.
