Elmahorn

Directly in the centre of Körharven, spreading out over either bank of the river Leis as it runs through the idyllic Valley of Garda is the city of Elmahorn. Legends claim that Elmahorn was named after Kör's wife Elma, after she died following the harsh winters of the new colony. Elmahorn was supposedly named by her brother, Kör's one time closest friend and ally Bjölk, after he took half the people of Chos and headed inland. Even to this day, many see Elmahorn as being a holy land; a gift from the gods of nature. It is surrounded by fertile fields and lush forests, and the valley itself protects the city from the worst of the wind and rain that otherwise batters the coast of the Bay of Körvic. It is one of the agricultural centres of Kör, acting as a central hub for the vast quantities of food produced in Körharven. It sits on the main road north from both Chos and Versimhelm, and is considered by many to be the true heart of Kör. Because of this, many people make pilgrimage to the Shrine of Elma, a large chapel in the heart of the city, surrounded by a quiet garden designed for peace and reflection. Even today, with the veritable bustle of commerce and the unstoppable force of industrialisation, peace can be found in Elmahorn.
