Cantirann
Sacred to the Seleri elves is the hidden citadel of Cantirann, shaped from magic and ether beyond mortal sight, accessible only through moonlit ritual and Seleri incantation. From Cantirann, Seleri can travel across the length and breadth of their forest home in moments, borne on the silver rays of the moon and the celestial tides and currents of magic that it draws across Mundus, making the ethereal location a powerful tool for defence and travel, and an unrivalled focus for magical invocations.
Geography
Shaped from moonbeams and soft lights of white, blue and silver, the curving plane of Cantirann manifests beyond mortal sight above the cloud valley of Camatanam, contained within a demiplane maintained by ancient magics drawn from the depths of the Selerimmond and the passage of celestial bodies. Citadel of Cantirann materialises as four regions superimposed over one another; the highest, and brightest towers represent the full moon, while the two sloped crescents adjoining represent the waxing and waning moon, and the nigh-invisible mirrored towers below represent the new moon.
Though the Selerimmond is full of enchanted pools, there are twenty-eight such pools dedicated to the preservation of power to fuel the manifestation of Cantirann, and from these pools, someone with the knowledge of the correct rituals will be able to enter the hidden plane, pass through to another linked pool, cast scrying spells as if from another linked pool, or simply communicate through the waters to someone waiting on the other side.

Fauna & Flora
Being exposed over time to lunar magic can have an effect on animals, and the Seleri frequently observe some specially gifted animals in the forested wilds, and these animals are considered to be more valuable than their earthly peers. No animals can sustainably live in Cantirann, due to the lack of flora and water.
