Elderwynn

History

Elderwyyn, perched high in the Valorian Mountains by a serene mountain lake, is a sacred and isolated village in Aurelia that has been a sanctuary for Kara-Tur monks, shamans, and oracles for centuries. The village’s history is steeped in legend, with tales of its founding by a revered Kara-Tur master who sought seclusion in the mountains to deepen his spiritual connection with the world.

Elderwyyn operates on a communal and egalitarian system. The residents, regardless of their roles as monks, shamans, or oracles, are considered equals in the eyes of their beliefs. Decisions are made collectively, guided by the wisdom of the village elder, Elder Shintaro a position held by the most experienced and spiritually enlightened member.

Elderwyyn is an exceptionally isolated community. Visitors are rare and are only allowed entry if they are invited or if they come seeking the shamanistic services of the village. Those who are permitted to visit must respect the villagers’ way of life and adhere to their customs.

While the appeal of the outside world’s luxuries and distractions may entice some villagers, the majority return to Elderwyyn after their explorations. The spiritual fulfillment and sense of purpose they find in the village outweigh the allure of material wealth or worldly pleasures.
