|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.

The northern reaches of Celyndor are dominated by dense pine forests, where mist drifts between the trunks and the air is thick with the scent of resin. The canopy here is thick, allowing little direct sunlight to reach the forest floor. In these shadowed groves, the [[Thryssin]] move unseen among the branches, and the [[Dralvir]] guard the ancient pathways.   


To the south, the forests shift into a realm of broadleaf trees, winding rivers, and seasonal transformations. Here, the [[Velkyn]] dwell in deep groves, their forms entwined with the very essence of the forest, while the [[Kaethari]] roam freely between the oaks and willows, existing between the boundaries of the mortal and the wild.

Celyndor is not a wilderness in the absence of civilization—it is a living realm where the land shapes its inhabitants as much as they shape it. Its people, bound to the rhythm of the woods, serve as its caretakers, protectors, and messengers.

As the forest expanded, the first inhabitants emerged—beings woven from the land itself, bound to its rhythms and balance. The Dralvir took form from the oldest trees, standing as wardens of the sacred groves. The Velkyn grew from the heart of the deep woods, their bodies entwined with vines and bark. The Thryssin adapted to the heights, becoming swift and unseen among the towering pines. The Kaethari were the last to emerge, fluid in form, existing between the mortal and the wild.

Though these peoples differed in nature, they shared an unspoken understanding—Celyndor was not a land to be conquered, but one to be tended. This agreement became known as the Verdant Accord, an ancient pact recognizing that all who dwelled within the forest were both its guardians and its children.
