The Grove’s defenders: they confuse armies until their generals vanish, eaten by fungus or by trees.
Founded: c. year 620 (Third Age), by Sylvanus, at the Grove
Story
The Grove, the elves’ hidden city around the Tree of Life, turned to magical defence — no walls, but a forest that shifts and scouts who walk in circles. Then Sylvanus raised there an army of water druids.
In those same years Glaive Port’s four armies marched south for bread against the Grove: the Great Battle of the Third Age. The druids confused them, their generals vanished — eaten by fungus or by trees — and with the Spider People they drove them out; the forest swallowed them. The rest scattered as bandits across the Wasteland, and the Grove survived, wounded.
Now
The Grove survives, hidden from every race.
