Rethwyn of Blades

The Queen of Swords

Rethwyn of Blades. She is the Wood Elven queen of an ancient kingdom called Talvaryis (tal-various). Nestled deep within massive and awe-inspiring Sequoia forests, these elves are xenophobic and isolationist. In some ways, it is easy to see the link between these and the drow with which they share a common ancestor. They keep to their subtle roads and have hidden long in the depths of their forested realm. Uneager to interact with outside entities, they will occasionally raid a nearby town or traveling band under cover of night if they have need of any particular supply they cannot readily produce for themselves. Within their own land, this band of elves are somewhat nomadic, though they rarely leave the borders of their customary range. In the Telar Wood, travelers and visitors are discouraged from stopping or staying longer than is completely necessary. To tarry in her realms is to risk your goods, or your life if one attempts defiance. Somewhere in the Telar Wood, there is a settlement these elves seem to frequently return to and keep as a base. It remains as yet unlocated by the general public, as the elves post alert guards at any given time.
