Celyndor’s history is not one of rise and fall, but of growth, change, and endurance. While other realms forge their legacies through war and ambition, Celyndor’s past is written in the silent, steady unfolding of leaves, the shifting of the seasons, and the wisdom carried in the heartwood of its oldest trees.
Celyndor’s history is not one of rise and fall, but of growth, change, and endurance. While other realms forge their legacies through war and ambition, Celyndor’s past is written in the silent, steady unfolding of leaves, the shifting of the seasons, and the wisdom carried in the heartwood of its oldest trees.
|Geography=Celyndor is a realm of vast forests stretching from the northern pinewoods to the southern deciduous expanse. The landscape is shaped by massive trees, deep-rooted valleys, and concealed waterways, creating an environment that shifts subtly with the passage of time.
|Geography=Celyndor is an unbroken forest realm, stretching across vast distances in a seamless expanse of towering trees, winding rivers, and shadowed groves. Though undivided by mountains or borders, Celyndor is broadly separated into two distinct regions—the mist-laden, coniferous forests of the north and the vibrant, ever-shifting woodlands of the south.


===Northern Celyndor (The Evergreen Veil)=== 
The northern forests are dense and shadowed, where towering pines reach skyward, and the canopy allows little sunlight to pierce through. These lands are shaped by the cool air that lingers in the trees, the weight of mist that drifts through the undergrowth, and the quiet presence of unseen watchers.
The northern reaches of Celyndor are dominated by towering pine forests, where mist lingers between the trees and the scent of resin fills the air. The canopy is thick, allowing little direct sunlight to reach the forest floor. Here, the Thryssin move unseen among the branches, and the Dralvir guard the pathways between the towering trees.


*The Boreal Twilight – A region where the sky glows faintly even at night, creating an eerie blue-green haze above the treetops. 
The southern forests, by contrast, are vibrant and changing. Here, broadleaf trees shift with the seasons, rivers carve through lush glades, and the cycle of life is more visible—leaves burn red and gold before falling, only to return in endless renewal.   
*The Silent Glades – A stretch of the forest where no birds sing and even the wind seems muted, avoided by most who pass through. 
*The Skyroot Cliffs – A mountain range where ancient trees cling to sheer rock faces, their roots forming natural bridges across deep chasms.   


===Southern Celyndor (The Verdant Labyrinth)=== 
Despite their differences, both halves of Celyndor are bound by the same rhythm of growth, balance, and patience.
The southern forests of Celyndor are lush and vibrant, filled with broadleaf trees, winding rivers, and seasonal color shifts. Here, the Velkyn dwell in deep groves, and the Kæthari roam freely between the great oaks and willows.


*The Autumn Expanse – A vast woodland that turns brilliant shades of crimson, gold, and amber in the autumn months.   
=== Northern Celyndor === 
*The Lichen Halls – A network of underground tunnels formed from ancient roots, used as gathering places for sages and wanderers.   
 
*Erethorin’s Rest – A forgotten ruin hidden deep within the forest, believed to contain the last words of Kaelthorin.
* The Thryssin Canopy – A vast stretch of towering pines where mist hangs between the branches, and the air is thick with the scent of resin. This is the domain of the Thryssin, whose hidden pathways and woven bridges connect the high branches into an unseen city above the world below. 
 
* The Everglen Reach – The oldest and most sacred part of the northern forests, where the trees are ancient and immense. Light rarely touches the forest floor, and silence dominates beneath the canopy. Many believe this is where Kaelthorin first took root, making it the spiritual heart of the northern wilds. 
 
* The Veilwood – A shadowed region where the forest is dense, tangled, and overgrown. Many avoid this place, believing it to be a land where Kaelthorin’s influence is weakest, though others claim it is simply a deeper, more mysterious part of the forest’s natural cycle. 
 
=== Southern Celyndor === 
 
* The Greenwood Vale – A vast, temperate woodland where broadleaf oaks, maples, and willows shift with the seasons. Rivers and meadows break the dense woodland, creating open groves where the Kaethari roam freely, and the Velkyn remain rooted in the deep glades.   
 
* The River of Seasons – A great, winding river that carves its way through the southern woodlands. It is said that its waters remember the passing of time, turning golden in the autumn, silver in the winter, and emerald in the spring. Many settlements rely on this river for navigation and sustenance.   
 
* The Whispering Glades – A scattered collection of hidden groves, where the wind carries soft murmurs through the trees. Some claim these whispers are the voices of the forest itself, carrying the memories of those who walked these paths long ago. 
 
Celyndor’s geography is not marked by borders, but by the natural balance of its land. The north remains a place of stillness and patience, while the south thrives in motion and change. Yet through both, the will of Kaelthorin endures, guiding the endless growth of the wilds.
|Climate=Celyndor’s climate is shaped by its dense forests and natural isolation. The northern reaches are cool and humid, while the south experiences a milder, temperate climate.
