Charted City Emerald Expanse
Deep within the Emerald Expanse, Aethelheart is an Elven city grown as much as it is built. Bioluminescent structures rise from ancient trees, crystal forms sit among living branches, and magic-driven systems blend with the forest rather than replacing it. Self-sufficient, serene and heavily protected by wilderness and layered illusions, the city preserves its forest home while allowing only a narrow flow of travellers and traders to connect it with the wider world.
