The Forest Town
You are overcome with the graceful serenity that surrounds you. You can hear the winds brushing against the trees of the forest. The smell of the pine needles and flowers that surround you help create a pleasant atmosphere. There aren’t too many people wandering around, but they walk calmly and talk lightly, as if they didn’t want to disturb anything around them. You see the wooden buildings that make up the town, but they slowly dissolve into the forest that surrounds it, and you cannot tell where the town ends and the trees begin.
The people of Elerya live in peace with the forest that surround them. Everyone here values selflessness, and they are always willing to sacrifice their needs for the benefit of others or the environment. Animals are hunted, but with heavy moderation and guidance from the ruling body. You are expected to give more than you take from the forest. It is said that an old, ancient kind of magic seeps throughout the town, and that its inhabitants learn to grow a bond with the forest that can never be forgotten or broken.

History
Elerya was founded by elves. As one of the first races on Avensuna the elves just felt mysteriously drawn to the great forest that lied in the east. A well sized clearing awaited them at the end of their journey, and since then Elerya has been a place where all elves can partake in their love of nature. They nurtured the plants and animals that surrounded them, and in turn the forest protected Elerya from other threats. The elves in Elerya had found a perfect match.
Tritons are in tune with the ocean and the nature of the world. They easily fit in with the denizens of Elerya who are concerned with living in harmony with nature. Tritons help the Elves and Firbolgs keep the peace and sanctity of the eastern forests. Specifically the Tritons are the keepers of the lake, and help placate the nymphs and fairies who live there.
It is said that the first firbolgs just came walking out from the trees straight into Elerya. They came baring gifts of fruits and herbs for the inhabitants of Elerya. It is not known where they came from before then. Firbolgs have always been welcome, though they are a mysterious race. They tend to keep to themselves within the town, focusing more on caring for the forest. Firbolgs have always felt a huge connection to druid magic, and most powerful druids are firbolgs.
