Overview: “The villagers were obviously in a state of distress. The women were wailing, and the men had an angry yet resigned stare.
When I asked one of the men about the source of their distress, he pointed to one of the women and exclaimed: ’Her baby! The elves took her baby!’ ”
- Edmund Durnsten in: The Known Lands: Gorchov - The Sunset Province, Avane Street Publishing (1414)
Capital:
Population: 345,640 (74% elves, 15% half-elves, 10% fey, 5% centaurs, 5% humans)
Government: Monarchy
Imports: Human babies
Exports:
The Great Forest of Turaveen is fairly isolated from the rest of the world, which suited its elven inhabitants and eladrin rulers just fine, as they wanted to have no truck with outsiders.
However, seventy years ago the compact between the king of Tuvareen and the powers of Faerie was broken when the king refused to marry his daughter to a powerful Fair Folk entity called the Horned Man. In retaliation, the right of the Tuvareen noble houses to invoke the Blessing of the Stars - the rite which creates new eladrin from elven newborn - was revoked, and the Horned Man cursed them to be infertile with each other and with other elves.
In a desperate attempt to stop the death of their bloodlines, some eladrin houses have started the controversial practice of stealing babies from human communities in nearby regions. These are raised in isolated communities in the forest, where the humans are kept in awe of the elves with powerful illusions. Once the humans grow up, the eladrin choose the most attractive and robust humans as breeding stock—which the conditioned humans view as a high honor, though they remember nothing of the conception thanks to powerful mind magics. The resulting half-elves are taken by the eladrin and raised as full members of the house. Older humans, or those who begin to suspect too much, vanish from the human villages and are never seen again. The humans believe that they “go to live with the elves”, but in reality, they all are killed.

Politics: - King Belorian (CN male eladrin) has succumbed to despair while Tuvareen crumbles around him. His refusal to give his daughter to the Horned Man sealed the doom of the eladrin noble houses, and when his daughter committed suicide after the Compact was shattered, he was driven further into depression. Nominally still the king, he no longer commands the respect of anyone - including himself - and he no longer has the power to stop the squabbling between the different political factions even if he could rouse himself from depression. All he can do is watch as his kingdom falls apart.
