Eirilys
The strongest kingdoms in Eiri and the home of the Snow Elves. Once a hunting outpost, it grew into strong and true kingdom under the overwatch of the Ice Guardian, the Frostmaiden. Most of it's denizens are hunters or crafters.
Eirilys is a majestic city carved into the heart of the Ice Region’s frozen expanse, a gleaming beacon of civilization amidst a harsh and untamed wilderness. Surrounded by towering, snow-capped peaks, it stands as a bastion of safety against the ever-present threats of feral monsters and the fierce beast-folk humanoids who harbor deep-seated animosity toward its denizens. The city's imposing walls and intricately enchanted defenses have allowed its people to endure in a land where survival is a constant battle.Now, Eirilys is the crowning jewel of the frozen lands of Eiri, its culture a blend of elven refinement and the hardy resilience demanded by its icy environment. Its people, the snow elves, thrive despite the dangers that encircle them, drawing strength from the legacy of their ancestors and the ever-watchful presence of the Frostmaiden. Renowned for its towering ice-crystal halls, magical forges, and vibrant markets where exotic goods from across the Ice Region are traded, Eirilys is both a fortress and a beacon, a symbol of hope and perseverance in a world of frost and fury.
Eirilys owes much of its growth and renown to the daring exploits of its elven hunters, whose legendary skills in tracking, slaying, and harvesting the massive creatures of the frozen expanse have become the stuff of myth. In the early days, survival in the Ice Region demanded ingenuity and courage. The land teemed with colossal beasts—frost drakes, tundra wyverns, and ancient leviathans that roamed the frozen seas. These creatures were both a dire threat and a source of unparalleled bounty for those brave enough to face them. The elven hunters of Eirilys, guided by their sharp instincts and the Frostmaiden’s blessings, quickly became masters of their frozen domain. Armed with weapons forged in the enchanted forges of the city and augmented by the region’s unique magical crystals, these hunters ventured deep into the wilderness. They learned to track the beasts by reading the subtle signs left in the snow, deciphering their calls, and anticipating their movements across the icy terrain.
The hunting culture and the achievements of their profession cemented their role as the city’s protectors. Instead of a huge standing army, whenever the feral beasts or beast-folk threatened Eirilys, because most of the population is trained to use weapons ad survive several kinds of threats, these warriors are the ones to take up arms to defend their own homes. This culture of taking care of protecting your neighbor and sustaining your community has always unified the people of Eirilys, fostering a culture of resilience, resourcefulness, and pride.
