Place: City of Tsi-wa

The city of Tsi-wa was the capital of the elven nation for a long time, though it moved to Qalataqa around the time of the Chosen to save the elven nation from Shaniko and his minions.

This city was huge in it's hay-day, covering acres and acres of land both on the ground and in the trees themselves. Buildings are always made of shaped wood, (meaning they are still living, but shaped to serve a purpose). Shapes are more rounded then straight up and down. Houses are in the treetops, business and inns upon the ground. There are tenders who make sure the trees and other plants used for buildings and supports are well cared for and living with out sickness.

This is the training city of the Wolf Clan, Dragon Clan, Pegasus Clan and Unicorn Clan. The Leaders and High Guards for each are stationed here. Since most Warriors remain unbonded, and those who do need to be trained, the city is quite large and nearly self-sufficient. All Warriors from the north are trained here, both in weapons and magic. Whole families live here, though those children who are not chosen to train (which is rare) usually leave for another elven city or even for one of the human communities.

Other races, save Akicitia, are not allowed here near the time of the Chosen (though at the beginning all races were welcome). The Great Library of Tsi-wa, containing a mass amount of elven history and lore, is open to all elves and the rare person from other races. Anything elven can be bought here, though the prices would be high for any outsiders.

The imports here are low, mostly speciality foodstuffs, and they export little else save Clan Warriors and books. They worship primarily Targon, though Catiana, Wesa, and Iktomi are also revered.

Near the time of the Chosen the city was abandoned because of the Wizard Shaniko. The Akicitia of Mahatalo's Clan remained, protecting the city and were there when Amber Blackwolf and Richard Goldenstern came seeking the Staff of Veo.
