South Varisalla Foothills

is a Tier 2 Adventuring Area.

For centuries, the Varisalla Mountain Range has been a highly spiritual place. A large temple resides in the foothills that was once a beautiful retreat, dutifully managed by its elven caretakers. For generations, the temple was a home of thoughtful contemplation for scholars and pilgrims of all races. Decades ago, internal strife among the elves came to the center. Peaceful elves quarreled with their warmongering brothers. Disharmony turned to violent conflict, which eventually erupted into a brutal civil war. The center was overrun by the warmongering elves, who slaughtered every other temple resident in a virtually one-sided battle. The victors vandalized the structures and looted or destroyed the intellectual and spiritual treasures within. The institution never recovered. There are rumors that a handful of scholars escaped with precious tomes and works of art and hid them in the hills before being caught and killed. Scavengers still remain in the area, including human freebooters and warmongering elves.
