The Grove of Exile - a refuge for those displaced by conflict, lies near the Floral Palace in the elven kingdom. For nearly six decades, it has been a sanctuary for refugees, with its population ebbing and flowing until a recent, unexplained surge in arrivals. Governed by a coalition of elves and refugee leaders, the Grove offers a semblance of dignity through communal farming, skills training, and basic healthcare, despite the strain on resources and occasional tensions. Amidst this resurgence, rumours of distant conflicts and dark forces stir unease, prompting Elven investigations into the cause. The Grove stands as a beacon of hope and resilience, striving to ensure the well-being of all its inhabitants in the face of growing challenges.
