Location: Ancient Elvish City
Rumors
- A hidden elvish city lies somewhere beyond Green Elf Forest.
- The forest elves nearby do not simply dwell there — they guard something deeper.
- During festival times, danger has found its way even into the city.
- Some of the city’s oldest monuments warn against trusting outsiders with magic.
What is Known
- Ancient Elvish City is a hidden high elf city.
- The high elves here are also sun elves.
- Green Elf Forest lies nearby and serves as a protective outer region so the city is not easily found.
- At one point during a festival, a red dragon wyrmling caused trouble in the city.
- During elvish dancing, hooded figures attacked.
- Those attackers were drow led by priestesses and were hunting sun elves.
- A young sun elf girl named Griset was involved in the attack.
- A drow named Zrumlock guarded or protected a grate connected to her.
- The city contains a statue showing elves giving a man a floating island blue gem, with a mythalar at its center.
- That statue serves as a cautionary tale about trusting outsiders, because men later abused magic and Netheril ruined it.
- Silver Down is a magical mithral longsword associated with the city’s history.
History
- Ancient Elvish City is tied to the lost memory of the Golden Age.
- Grimace the Wise, who lived during the Golden Age, wielded Silver Down during the war of that time.
- The city preserves old lessons about the handing of magic from elves to men and the eventual corruption of that trust.
- Though much about the Golden Age has been lost to time, the city still appears to remember fragments through its monuments, relics, and lineages.
