Tangled Trees

The third great elven community in Cormanthor was Tangled Trees, a sprawling mess of houses and overlapping clanholds. While the Elven Court had its nobility and Semberholme its beauty, Tangled Trees had its own magic and sparkle, and was the most vibrant and alive of the three elven communities.

Tangled Trees was a place for the young, for elves no more than a century in age, along with half-elves and some human friends and lovers. It was a brawling, lusty place, with fights common and adventure waiting to be had. Tangled Trees was established soon after the building of Halfaxe Trail as a further buffer between the staid elves and the Sembians. If the Sembians truly wished ill of the elves, then the elves' most vibrant and cunning members would show them the error of their ways.

Tangled Trees is one of the few areas in Cormanthor where the traveler can still encounter elves in sufficient numbers to be impressive. Indeed, many of the elven heroes swashbuckling their way across the Inner Sea call this area their home. Not for them the peaceful Retreat, the calm lack of resistance. These young elves feel that they can take the world by the throat and show it the error of its ways. Such is the sure logic of the young of any race.

Tangled Trees has a large number of abandoned tree homes and outposts, but many more are still occupied. Looters and adventurers seeking easy pickings have discovered that these elves are more than willing to fight for their territory and their homes.

Oryn Silverrain was born and raised here, and Xavier Fledliweth was born on the community's outskirts.
