Ardunniadd, Land of the Elves
Ardunniadd
Land of elves, Ardunniadd stands as a symbol both evergreen and enduring, washed with the warm trade winds of the south Great Sea. Long the home of House Anwyledd, it bears the mark of it's scions, in colors of green and white. Ruled by Queen Eirinin, and King Vincent, it is near to the more commercial and bustling Kingdom of Caran.
An isle of secrets, Ardunniadd welcomes few, but nor does it turn away those that would find refuge on it's shores. With well over ninety percent of it's lands under heavy forestation, it is verdant, and alive with energy. There are but three cities here and a scattered handful of palaces that dot the isle and only two true harbors. Little trade happens here, by choice; the Ardunniaddian elves far more reclusive and shy of the world than their more outgoing Caranian neighbors.
Rocs circle the skies, and between the two isles, mermaids are often seen to frolic in the pounding surf and cross channel tides. Be warned, the seas here, while gentle mid spring to early winter, begin to get heavy as late winter storms roll in.
It'll take a stout sailor indeed to best these waters, and he who drags his crew through it is often called ever after 'that jerk wot nearly got us all drowned!'........
