Erages is a small fishing community located on the shore of Lake Encarthan in the elven nation of Kyonin. Erages' population is almost entirely aiuvarins who live in virtual exile from the rest of the country.

Geography

The settlement itself is constructed among the ruined stone towers of a far older elven settlement, possibly from before Earthfall. Most of these structures have crumbled down to one or two stories, and Erages' inhabitants have used the stone and masonry as building materials to construct new homes. Entrances beneath these ruins suggest that underground passages connect the towers to one another, but after several explorers were lost beneath the ground recently, most of the populace came to the conclusion that the tunnels were best left undisturbed.

Erages Academy

The esteemed Erages Academy was founded in 4695 AR to support the influx of scholars and specializes in elven archaeology and history, though many students also attend in hopes to learning from the university's martial wing, the Blackash Training Grounds. As of 4708 AR, the academy is run by Headmaster Sarouna Lei.

Industry

The town's primary source of food and income is through the abundant fishing in Lake Encarthan. However, Erages is also known for its criminal activity, particularly the smuggling of goods out of Kyonin and humans deeper into its interior. Although the elven authorities suspect this, they tend to turn a blind eye to this activity.<ref name="BoG-8" As of 4714 AR, the presumed leader of Erages' smuggling rings was the notorious and elusive thief Elenia Santritia.

Rumors

As of 4708 AR, the aiuvarins of Erages had recently begun complaining about the traditionalist elven nobility.
