Where Wisdom Is Grown
Here in the heartlands, beneath the warming hand of the sun and the watchful gaze of the western mountains, Eldermere endures.

The Temple of Eldoria and the Citadel of Eldoria rise proudly from the hills, living testaments to a people who believe that prosperity is not given, but cultivated with care.
