Altand
Altand is a small elven community that is part of the Kingdom of the Woods, located in the Misty Forest.
Altand gained wider notice during the Great Dragon War, when it was revealed that the village's Warden, Galin, was secretly aiding the Cult of the Dragon in raiding nearby villages.
Government
Altand, like most villages in the Kingdom of the Woods, is ruled by a Warden. Wardens were appointed by the ruling family of the kingdom and often served for centuries.
Defences
Like most villages in the Misty Forest, the bulk of the village's structures were built atop trees. This allowed for easy defense, as all causeways up could be retracted. However, this did little to stymie the green dragon Chuth, who attacked the village in 1492.
History
In early 1492, the green dragon Chuth, guided secretly by the Green Wyrmspeaker Neronvain, began raiding villages in the Misty Forest. When the dragon arrived in Altand, Neronvain offered to spare the village in exchange for Altand's Warden, Galin, regularly supplied information on how best to destroy nearby villages. Galin, heartbroken after watching his wife die to the dragon, agreed.
Later that same year, the Breadwinners arrived in Altand at the behest of Prince Alagarthas, who wanted to learn why only Altand was spared. The Breadwinners uncovered Galin's betrayal and killed both Neronvain and Chuth.
Galin was later executed by Alagarthas for his betrayal of his people.
