Salla Elyn was a Wood Elf clan controlling the Lake Grove within the Deepwoods. They were commonly considered the strongest of the Wood Elf Sallas and the political nexus of Wood Elf civilization.
Culture and Customs[]
Due to the relative peace and tranquility of the Lake Grove, the elves living here were often amongst the most wealthy and secure amongst all the Wood Elves of the Deepwoods. Elyn society was then characterized by a more urban lifestyle, relative to the rest of the woods, with much of its energy dedicated to documenting and persevering history their forebears. Because of this, scholarly pursuits were a defining feature of Salla Elyn, though these pursuits were directed toward retreading old topics rather than pushing for new ideas.
In addition, the wealth and stability held by Salla Elyn would lead to tacit acceptance by the other clans as the leader, or co-leader in the eyes of Salla Myna, of the Wood Elven civilization. The capital of Elynáile came to be seen as the ideal place to resolve long standing disputes. Over time, the role of mediator came to be seen a crucial and highly regarded rule within Elyn society. This in turn lead to tact and decorum becoming deeply ingrained with Elyn society.
