“Magic lies within the secrets we keep, for only those who are worthy will know our true heart.”
The Emberwild is the most secretive place in Annmar. It is the kingdom of the Fae or Faerûn (fairies). They are mystical creatures that live in the thick forest known as The Foxxwood. The Emberwild is located between the kingdoms of Dorwinn and Belmere. The forest area between the kingdoms is the Emberwild. Not much is known about the Faerûn, they remain mysterious on purpose. The Emberwild is a natural defense from the outside word and the Fae’s villages reside deep in the forests and high up in the trees, making them hard to find. Fae can live on the ground and in the trees. In fact, there are cities in the trees, including a hidden city called The Cohnnwood reserved for Fae, Elves, Gnomes, and Halflings. The outside world rarely ventures into the Emberwild and Fae mainly keep to themselves, while being very suspicious of other kingdoms. This just leads to their mystique in Annmar.
Fae can be as tall as a human being or small as a tenth of their size. But all Fae have beautiful luminescent wings, which allows them to fly. They are the only race in Annmar that can fly. No one knows what godly power gave the Fae that ability. It is another one of their mysteries. Faerûn are capable warriors. They are fast, which makes them good swordsman, but their true strength lies in their archery skills and because they can fly it makes them deadly especially from long distances. Fae do not fight in the wars of other races. Their wars are among themselves. Fae do not have royal houses. The Emberwild is made up of ten villages along with the secret city. But the Emberwild does have a capital city called Bramblemoon where the king resides. There is a king or a queen that rules over the Fae, chosen through prophecy by the oracles in the Faerûn kingdom. They choose who will best serve the Fae at that time and place.
The climate of the Emberwild varies from warm to cold. There are great snowfalls that come to the Emberwild since it borders Belmere. But the Fae are in tune with the weather as they are with all living things in their kingdom. The Fae are the one race more in tune with nature, even more so than the Elves. Since Faerûn are for the most part a mystery to the rest of Annmar, they are however, known for one thing. It is the one commodity they trade with other kingdoms. Wood. The Emberwild has the strongest wood in Annmar. The strongest bridges, buildings, and cities in the trees are built with wood from the Emberwild, especially wood from the Foxxwood forest. And while many do not venture into the Emberwild, there is one city that is the center for most of their trade. It is Roseloch, which is located on a lake along the Marasonn River that separates the kingdoms of Dorwinn, the Emberwild, and Yorynn from the rest of Annmar. Roseloch is a vibrant trade center for mostly wood and other goods, and its main entry point into the Emberwild and the world of the Fae

*** Faerûn (Fairy) don’t have Surnames, they have first names and say where they’re from. Example: “Willow of Firegust.” But Fae also have common surnames like, Plumgloss, Sunnstarr, and Woodglenn. These are Fae that do not belong to a village.
