Shenfell

It's important to become friends with the island, not for its resources, its inhabitants, but for our heritage. Centuries ago our ancestors fled the lands and hid in the forests of Tondaril. It's time for our kin to reclaim our birthlands, not by force and death, but by diplomacy. King Talfryn of Shenfell is a reasonable man and we have reasonable demands.

Empress Lorelei Giltumal in a speech to the elves of Tondaril.

Geography

Shenfell is one of the six islands that belonged to the utopian island of Illaedion, ever since the rupture and the opening of The Yester Rift, it has been in control of the same royal families as during the Durrichon Kingdom. The royal family of Shenfell fought side by side with the High King Éogan Durrichon when the demon invasion reached the fortress of Àrdrìghseas. The ruins are now the resting place of the royal armies that failed to protect their people and their demise heralded a time of war, known as the demonic wars.
All six islands have roughly the same geography, thick dense forests meeting high mountain ranges, sprawling rivers, and enough fertile soil to feed its inhabitants.

History

Before the fall of the Durrichon Kingdom, the royal family of Shenfell controlled the human region of this part of the island. The mountains were controlled by the The Blackstone Kingdom and the forests by the elves. When the High King fell, the elves could not keep their people safe and they left their cities and ventured north, crossed the treacherous seas and occupied the ruined lands of Tondaril. Their people however never forgot their traditions and heritage, waiting for a moment to return to their homelands.
In recent history, Lorelei Giltumal, self-proclaimed empress of The Illaedion Empire and ruler of Tondaril, has reached an accord with Talfryn of Shenfell over rulership over the island. While the King remains to be in rule, the cities will be governed by imperial dukes, and imperial traditions will be installed. This effort has been met with great controversy, but mainly it has been received as a positive evolution. This makes Shenfell the first island to join the ranks of the empire in an effort to reach out to other islands, and connect the disconnected regions.
