The forest to the north of Goranth is inhabited by an elusive group known as the Elves. Their population, cities, and general lifestyle are virtually unknown. The Elves are very territorial but restrict their claims to the forest itself.
There is an ongoing conflict between the elves and the Innland Inns timber mill. Gunter Blackhammer had negotiated a settlement with the elves to log a well-defined forest area. However, sects arose within the elven community opposing the logging. Thus, some elves decided to rectify the problem.
What trade existed between Gunter and the elves has vanished. There are some rumours that a town far to the east still trades with the elves, but the details are unknown. However, the quality of the weapons and armour used by the elves has dramatically improved. This armour is markedly different from that produced by either Dwarvenhelm or Goranth.
The Elves supplied a military force to aid Coinighy and Goranth in suppressing the northern slave trade. However, a dispute has recently arisen over the construction and habitation of The Spicy Travellers Inn. Pietr Vikersk II was sent to the Elves as an Ambassador.
