Drelu

Drelu is the land of the wood elves, ruled by a queen and known for magic.

Demographics

Most of the inhabitants of Drelu are wood elves, a certain type of elf that tends to lead towards more earthy hair coloring and also has small horns and quite a bit of height. The next most amount of the population goes to forest centaurs, the type of centaurs that tend to be taller and leaner than their mountainous counterparts.

Government

Drelu works on a simple monarchial system, with Queen Yevleniya currently ruling.

Defences

Drelu's mist is highly magical in nature and can confuse the people trying to enter. The country's air-force must also not be underestimated, the army as a whole is quite well equipped to deal with any would-be intruders.

Industry & Trade

Drelu trades wood and has a mount system that has created quite the booming economy. Being a mount trainer lends to a high level of prestige given to the person.

Assets

The flying mounts of Drelu are quite famous and an incredible asset to the country.

History

Drelu used to be the home of Shining Sveldeph, and is quite proud of the fact. I dunno what else to put here ;)

Tourism

People come to Drelu to see the beautiful architecture and the famed flying academies. Drelu is known for being the highest in terms of the flying mounts system, having major 'stations' and coops and stables. You'll almost always be able to look up and see at least two mounts flying over you, it really is a wonderful thing to see! Drelu is also quite famous for it's unique use of magic, being the country where magic's visibility is strangely amplified. Using magic here is almost like painting in the air with vapor or water or shimmers, depending on the persons type of magic.  No one would want to miss the seven moons festival, the special time of year where the inhabitants of Drelu observe night for 7 days in a row. The shimmers in the air and around the buildings tend to be much stronger during this festival and the streets are alive with dancing and marvelous arial feats. Magic abounds and the people tend to emit soft light during this 'recharging' time. It starts a week before the Night of The Third Blue Moon.

Architecture

The inhabitants of Drelu use a a special kind of white wood to create beautiful structures that look like they're made of marble. The tops of the buildings are lined with a metal that helps trap magic, so the entire place looks like it shimmers. But the true wonder is at night, when the moon comes out and the buildings change color to a deep blue with the windows glowing to look like stars, while important buildings like academies and the palace shine softly like the moon. Swirls and shimmer abound and stables and roosts are common sight. Fountains are also strangely present quite a bit, having been a particular fondness of Shining Sveldeph.

Geography

Drelu is situated in a beautiful forest, with wide leafed trees and dark barks that prove a beautiful contrast to the shimmer of the cities. The country also has a shimmering fog around it, so no one really knows how big it is. Dew tends to have a particular fondness for the place and (especially in the mornings) the place feels fresh and clean.

Natural Resources

The inhabitants of Drelu gets a lot of it's wood from the special Alabaster Trees that grow in it's forests. This happens to also be one of it's most valuable exports, since the wood has many incredible properties.
