Ivoralis

A magical, forested Kingdom that shifts dramatically with the seasons due to its close proximity to the Feywild. Ivoralis is one of the oldest kingdoms on Stridia, but it has little desire to expand or take territory. It is ruled by the Court of Seasons, a series of noble Eladrin families who each rule for a specific season which changes the nature of the kingdom itself. In Spring, Ivoralis is cheerful and celebratory. In Summer it is rowdy, bold and aggressive, in Autumn it is peaceful and giving, and in Winter it is quiet and morose.

Despite this fickle nature, Ivoralis is a beautiful land of magically enchanted forests, pristine rivers and secluded settlements of Elves, Gnomes, Firbolgs, Centaurs and other Feyfolk. The people of this magical kingdom are renown for their artisans, druids and magicians. Everything produced in the kingdom is of the finest possibly quality and the greatest artwork, wine, food and weapons are made here.

Many assume that because of the long lives of Elves, that Ivoralis would be a great source of history and knowledge of the Harbingers but for long years the Elves did not keep written records and used spoken, or more commonly, sung, accounts of history. The role of the Bard is still culturally very important to the Fey folk of Ivoralis and each of the Seasonal Courts seek out the greatest Bards to join their families to sing and speak of their accomplishments, host great feasts, or mourn the fallen.
