Pronunciation: din-BREATH-il
Map Index: C-4, C-5
Location: Northcentral Aorlan
Description: Deep within the heartlands of Aorlan, where the land is blessed by the touch of ancient magic, lies the enchanting Valtauri elf kingdom of Dinbrethil. Its sprawling domain thrives in the midst of a vast and bewitching birch forest, which holds centuries of mystic secrets within its ethereal embrace. Located in the headwaters of the Bherral River, to the east of the formidable Kheleckoros Range, Dinbrethil remains a realm veiled from the prying eyes of outsiders.
Residents: The reclusive elves of Dinbrethil yearn for solitude and peace, harmonizing with the rhythms of nature. They prefer to live undisturbed, their enchanting forest home serving as a sanctuary. However, those who dare to encroach upon their realm face swift and decisive retribution. Their treetop archers, unparalleled in their marksmanship, along with many powerful mages that wield ancient and potent magic, give the elven kingdom a potent means of defending their homeland from intruders.
Primary Population: Valtauri

Economy: Dinbrethil's elves are revered for their extensive knowledge of nature lore and the arcane arts. They channel their wisdom and power to craft exquisite items of a truly magical nature, instilling each creation with their deep connection to the land. These enchanted artifacts have become highly prized possessions sought by many beyond Dinbrethil's borders.
Military: The elf king of Dinbrethil maintains a harmonious relationship with the Kingdom of Arnheim and the tribes of the Ceodari, who reside to the north. This diplomatic alliance strengthens their respective positions and fosters mutual understanding among the realms. When diplomacy fails the elves still maintain formidable defenses. Skillful at climbing in trees, their highly trained archers can rain deadly fire down upon their enemies and remain relatively safe from counterattack. Rather than engage in set battles, the elves prefer hit and run tactics to weaken invading enemy units before engaging them in a decisive battle with overwhelming odds.
History: Dinbrethil's history is woven into the tapestry of Aorlan itself, spanning countless millennia. It has weathered the tests of time, witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations and the Great Cataclysm itself, yet endured in its mystical grandeur. Legends whisper of heroic elf lords who defended their realm against dark forces and formed enduring bonds with ancient spirits of the forest.
Today: Dinbrethil stands as a secluded Valtauri elf kingdom within the enchanted embrace of a vast birch forest. Its denizens, with their profound knowledge of nature and mastery of magic, defend their realm with precision. They craft magnificent and magical artifacts, symbolizing their bond with the land. While reclusive, the kingdom maintains friendly ties with Arnheim and the Ceodari tribes. Dinbrethil's history is an epic saga of valor and reverence for the ancient power that courses through the land, ensuring its enduring legacy in the realm of Arlon.
