Description:

Orlen is a small city and is the heartland of the Orlen people and has been since long before the [[World Breaker Calamity]]. The few remaining Orlen who live here are keepers of forgotten knowledge and secrets. They are often looked to for council among the leaders of [[Vigfrid]] as their knowledge and library is older than most. The City is built a few dozen yards underground and in the past few decades has added housing Above as well, requiring the installation of a Crystal Heart and the building of walls. 

Key Features:

[[The Floral Veil]]: A shimmering barrier of light and illusion that hides Orlen from view. Only those who know the correct path can navigate through it. This Veil has not been active for years as the city has been open to visitors since shortly after the eclipse. With there being relatively few people living here, the Eclipse proved tremendously deadly to the Orlens. Now this Veil sits dormant and the city has grown in population.

[[The Vault of Whispers]]: An ancient library hidden beneath the city, containing records and magical tomes that predate the calamity. It is said that the books can speak to those who listen closely. This collection has been built up over the years as Orlens go out and adventutre. Since the Calamity, Orlens have been un able to breed and because of this, Most do not go out and travel the lands any more. 

[[The Silver Grove]]: A small grove of metallic trees, each one representing an Orlen hero who has passed. Their spirits are said to watch over the city.

The Leaves and branches and trunks of each of these trees is filled with as much knowledge as any library. This knowledge was brought in as a Golden light that filled the Eyes of an Orlen. Whatever they had seen during a quest was preserved and magically placed within these Steel Trees. 

Leader: 

[[Incipient Sage Cal]] — The current leader of the Orlen, Sage is an enigmatic figure, as wise as she is elusive. Her deep understanding of illusions and divination magic allows her to steer Orlen’s course through the treacherous politics of Vigfrid. While [[Peter Pocket]] is the eldest of the Orlen remaining, he has left most of Oreln's operations to Sage. As Sage has consumed a piece of a [[Fruit of Idunn]], her body remains young and healthy even though she is over a thousand years old.
