The Kaleanae (Guild for discussion)

[perk31]

Located in the Elven city of SOMETHING, the Kaleanae is a semi-secretive society of elves whose true purpose is not known.  The Kaleanae was formed by those elves that remained on Lemnos after the conclusion of the great wars between the elves and humans.  The term Kaleanae means observer or to observe in elvish, which makes one wonder what the group is observing.  

While the Kaleanae have proven to be loyal subjects the elves in general have grown increasingly distressed over the unchecked Orcish population and the human’s apparent lack of interest in controlling Orc raids.  Many elves have begun to openly call for the wholesale slaughter of orcs and there are rumors of the Kaleanae ranks swelling in recent years.

I've moved this topic from the DM forum so everyone can participate.

Any other suggestions before I start modding?  I could use a forest name as well.

Since the elves are smaller in number and fading and such blah blah etc. etc.  Why not cal the forest Refuge...in elven.  Might make sense considering the situation.

I'll look it up to see what it sounds like.  Thanks

I think I'm going with Varna Lond which means safe haven.  

I was also thinking about making the city hidden so that unless you know exactly what is required to find it you'll run around in circles until you give up.  This means only elves and those titled Elf Friend will be able to locate the city.

Another idea I've had is that just being an Elf isn't enough here.  Elves who are not already a part of Kaleanae will be considered as overly influenced by human contact and must therefore prove themselves before being admited.  This would require a recruiter being added to the game which isn't a big deal but it also means that a large number of players will never step foot into the elven city.  

It would be possible, although difficult, for every player to earn the honorific Elf Friend which would allow them access to the city.
