Galren City
An ancient Elven city named for its most famous ruler and protector, Galren. Previously known as Greenspire for Feyfane wizard's tower overlooking the city with its notable green roof.
The city is split into three districts connected via birdsong alley which spans the perimeter of all three.
Districts
- The Crown District: Where the ruling family and the aristocratic class live.
- Feyfane: Where the rest of the Aristocratic class live. Two notable buildings: A large tower owned by the strange Daxius. A temple said to contain one of the stones of Rin, guarded and only a select few may enter.
- Hartsdale: Where the working class lives in squalor. Dilapidated buildings, beggars, and crime.

History
During the early years of the 3rd age, an accord was made between the Elven tribes of Picris forest and human settlers. The agreement allowed man to settle a new city near the large lake south of the forest and in return they would help create a similar settlement for the elves in the heart of the forest. The human settlement would come to be known as Chey and the elven settlement, Greenspire. As a result of the exchange of ideas between the two peoples, Chey was built in a human architecture style with elven materials and inspirations, and Greenspire was built in an elven architecture style with human materials and inspirations. A lifelong bond was forged between the sister cities, commonly allied in times of war and aid was sent in times of need.
Architecture
Built during the 3rd age along with it's sister city of Chey as a partnership between Elves and Humans, Galren (Greenspire) has a unique elven architecture style built with typical human materials.
