To the North, then to the West, deep within enigmatic lands, nine hills stand in a circular path, sheltering within their concentric centre a mysterious society of captivatingly graceful creatures with enticing beauty which instils envy in many. These hills are known as the Mesas of Eternity, a beyond them lies a vast forest, seemingly boundless, with wonders growing in every corner. The Forest of Lytharia, the wild woodland which precedes the kingdom of these enigmatic creatures, is home to all walks of like, ranging from great crystalline snakes coiled around trees of shimmering fruits to exquisite flowers blooming solely under gaze of the Moon. In the very centre is a great tree of golden bark and gold and silver leaves. Exuding from the tree is a sap with miraculous taste and scent. This sap, bearing the same colour as the bark of the tree nourishes the land and makes it fertile with life. So much of it leaks from the tree each day that it has formed a pool of gold which extends over a long distance. This pool is known as the Lake of Wonders. The tree is called the Sapling of Wisdom and is said to be a creature engendered from beyond understandable realms, growing from the tear of a God. The tree is also named Mother Blossom, the mother of the Dryads.

Upon its pristine branches, the Sapling of Wisdom shelters her arcane daughters, the exquisite Dryads, creatures of flesh with locks of leaf and melodic voices. They protect the surrounding city.

Lytharia is in itself a marvel to behold. An empire built entirely in nature, it has all sorts of plants serving it various needs: dwellings built in vast oaks, some greater structures constructed between the anchoring roots of floating trees, continuing within the trunks and ending amongst the leaves; academies hung from several trees, stairways making their way all around and across trunks to connect various places, and sapphire fruits luring shimmering azure butterflies which dance around them all night long, fading in the light of the day. The inhabitants of Lytharia are known as the Wood Elves, and they build their society around a caste system which is distinguished depending on their omnipresent tiaras on their heads. Each tiara-type depicts a certain status depending on the orb clasped within: Warrior, Archer or Mage.

Only second to Mother Blossom in size and beauty, Mytheria, a magnificent tree bears the magical marble palace of the Wood Elf Empress, Levereth Valensong. Alive for exactly one thousand years, Levereth has been Empress at the tender age of one hundred and twenty nine years old, from Wood Elf standards. She governs her race with the strength of an experienced monarch and has been protecting her people from the vile incursions of the succubae, a race of crimson-winged women with an aversion for all that rivals their beauty. Their hate is so strong that their queen once attacked Levereth when she was taking a stroll in the forest one day, but got killed for she did not know that the Wood Elf Empress was a formidable mage. Ever since this day, the succubae despise the wood elves even more, and to make them suffer, they capture their males to torture them and make them their slaves.[/font]

Cool.

From the thumbnail it looks like an island.
