Windsong Republic

Vale

Vale is a fairly large city consisting mostly of Moon Elves and represents perhaps the strongest concentration of their people anywhere. While a few Humans and Half-Elves live here, Vale is largely considered an Elvish refuge and favors the old style of architecture from the original Sivanoshi Elves and Ishaela.

While Humans are generally welcome in the city, Vale is one of the cities in the republic that Shar'Vaire are at best, greeted with a cold shoulder and at worst treated with thinly veiled hostility. Quar'Vess are given a bit more leniency, however Dragons are treated only slightly better than Shar'Vaire.

Vale is largely known for its fine silks, Lasher leather and other textiles that it imports across the continent and beyond. Vale is also rumored to be home to a secretive Moon Elvish cult known as the Shei-Toru that are rumored to be Elvish purists and seek to expunge all other races from the Republic. While not outwardly dangerous, there have been stories of Shar'Vaire being beaten or killed by Shei-Toru.
