Illmythil, Illionor
Illmythil is a small outpost of the Illion Mage School in the cold foothills of the Halhar Mountains in southern Illionor. The outpost is built just above the tree line; slopes of sequoia forest spill over the mountains below, and the Naurë River rushes from the mountains to the east. Illmythil is neither forest, nor river, nor mountain – but sits on the in-between places of many environments. Unlike most mage schools, Illmythil is not geared towards studying magic, but rather other sources of metaphysical phenomena: divinity, scapes, primal upwellings, and so on. The outpost itself is maintained and governed by the Illion Mage School, and most of the inhabitants from the school; however, a small town has grown up around it as those from surrounding villages have gathered here to do trade and make use of Illmythil’s services.
History of Illmythil and the Illion Region
Illmythil is a very new outpost in elven terms; it was constructed only a few centuries ago by the Illion Mage School during the tail end of the magocratic period. There is scarce history of other towns or cities in this region in eras past; most settlements have been small villages geared towards mining, quarrying, or herding. The Illion Region, however, is very old – it is understood to be the birthplace of the elves, and the great city of Illion is home to the oldest mage school in the world. It is mostly a region of vast, unbroken taiga and pine forest; the forest itself is ancient, and contains many stands of trees that are thousands of years old. Though it has never been the capital, the Illion region has nevertheless held significant power and political sway over the rest of Illionor during most of its history; and has also had a long history with the fey folk, who are common in this region.
