Mahnagor[edit]
Mahnagor is a community of about 500 wood elf in the northern fringes of the Silver Wood. It is a stopover, at about two thirds of the trip between Niole Dra and Kewlbanks.
It belongs to the Dutchy of Ulek, but the sylvan elves of the Silver Wood usually prefer to stay on their own, separated from the high elves. They consider them, and especially the ruling families in Tringlee, as haughty and soft.
Most of its buildings are built into trees in several levels above the ground. Two bigger log houses are built around two huge trees where the road leads through, below the town, and are used as inns for travelers. They are also gate houses, controlling the access to the upper levels of the town.
From the circular platform on top of the houses an escalator, operated by a elaborate system of pulleys, allows people and goods to ascent to to the elvish part of the town. But only few foreigners are allowed access, even during peaceful times.
