|Introduction='''Celyndor''' is a vast, unbroken expanse of deep forests, where life exists in a delicate balance shaped by time and nature. Towering trees stretch beyond the horizon, their roots weaving through the land, while canopies form an endless green expanse that shelters the world below. Every leaf, vine, and creature is part of a vast, interconnected web, where survival depends on harmony rather than dominion. | |Introduction='''Celyndor''' is a vast, unbroken expanse of deep forests, where life exists in a delicate balance shaped by time and nature.

* The Skybound Pact – An alliance of Thryssin clans who control the high canopy of the northern forests. Their treetop settlements are hidden, linked by woven bridges and pathways known only to them. The Pact ensures that no outsider enters their lands unnoticed. Some wish to remain isolated, but others believe they must act to defend the northern wilds before it is too late. | * The Skybound Pact – An alliance of Thryssin clans who control the high canopy of the northern forests.
