The Founding of Aelinorithil Aranthalas

Political event

201AR

As the expansion of the dwarven kingdom of Underhome moved southward, finally giving way to the Gauldowhynna resistance, and agreement was reached that, while the elves had no intention of relinquishing their claim to land above or below the surface, there was no ill will once the dwarves agreed to move on. To further punctuate this, under the guidance of Supreme Grandmaster of Summer, Shah's Generosity, The Gift of Plenty, Eldarian and with the Queen's blessing, an envoy of diplomats and artisans were sent into the heart of Underhome to craft an embassy through which the two cultures might learn from one another, and further the goals of both. Elven construction, which utilized high magics and their innate ability to manipulate nature, took little time at all to raise the structure and bring the gardens there into full bloom, creating a marvel that captured the attention and imagination of the Underhome citizenry, and quickly became, not only a seat of trade and information exchange, but also a wonder beneath the surface of Cairne as the flora and fauna native there came under the sway of elven magic.


Aelinorithil Aranthalas, meaning "Starwood Sanctuary Below" in the ancient tongue of the elves, stands as a testament to the harmonious collaboration between two distinct cultures. As the dwarven kingdom of Underhome expanded southward and encountered the Gauldowhynna resistance, a peaceful agreement was forged, marked by mutual respect and understanding. Under the wise guidance of the Supreme Grandmaster of Summer, Shah's Generosity, The Gift of Plenty, Eldarian, and with the gracious blessing of the Elven Queen, a delegation of diplomats and artisans embarked on a noble mission. Their objective: to bridge the gap between dwarves and elves, fostering a spirit of cooperation and mutual enrichment. Thus, Aelinorithil Aranthalas was born.   Utilizing the ancient techniques of elven craftsmanship, infused with powerful magics and the inherent bond with nature, the embassy swiftly took form within the heart of Underhome. Within a remarkably short span, verdant gardens flourished, their lush beauty captivating the hearts and minds of all who beheld them. The marvel of elven architecture and magic became a beacon of wonder beneath the surface of Cairne. More than merely a center for trade and information exchange, Aelinorithil Aranthalas became a living testament to the wonders that collaboration could achieve. The flora and fauna native to the depths of Underhome yielded to the gentle sway of elven enchantment, transforming the embassy into a sanctuary where the essence of both cultures intertwined seamlessly.
