Dryopolis

The capital city of the Wood Elves, founded in the beginning of the Second Age when a group of High Elves split away from Quercetia. Dryopolis is located in the northwest of the Elfwood and is seperated from Quercetia by the hostile Centaurs. Dryopolis is home to an Order of the Silvertongue, established by the famous High Elf Argutulium. Through this order the god Samelum gifted the Wood Elves with mastery of archery, allowing them the skill to hunt throughout the Elfwood. When the Giants to the north of Dryopolis were corrupted, Argutulium helped the Wood Elves to form an elite army of archers to protect the city in case of an attack. Dryopolis is also home to the a wonder, the Palace Caverns, which are used to house all Wood Elves in times of war or danger.
