Amil Vardarianna

'''When the elves made their split, and separated to those of the arcane (in the west) and those of the forest (in the east) the wood elves followed Sol’Quende’ to the east to make a new home. He took with them the single seed of the Mardi Valdarianna. This tree grew into a sapling and then a great tree unlike any other in the world. This tree was named The Mother tree, Amil Vardarianna. '''

'''The Wood Elves gave up the practice of arcane magic, and instead chose to turn to a more nature based form of spellcraft. The wood elf Druids are known all over the continent and seen as great sages and healers in the east. The Great Tree is both their home, and their Goddess. The city that holds the same namesake as the tree itself is built into the trunk and branches of the Amil, and surrounding trees that grow strong in its shade. The Amil nurtures her children and they in turn protect her from those that wish her harm.'''

'''The elves of this region are secretive and deeply spiritual. They live a life of tradition and ritual.'''

'''Conversely, the children of the forest, The Forest Gnomes, like a life that epitomizes being at one with nature. The Forest Gnomes have taken their affinity with nature to a level that rivals that of their Tinkering counterparts. Forest Gnomes use magic and selective breeding to allow nature to provide for them. These gnomes live mostly in the root systems of the great tree in great homes made of fungus that grow quickly and naturally to suit their needs. They have made allies with the large animals and insects of the wood and work with  them to provide food and other goods for their fellows.'''
