# Elvae

The **Elvae** are the eldest of the three known species of **Tyrrha**, often revered for their deep connection to the natural world and intellectual and diplomatic prowess. The Elvae's cultural and ecological heart is **Calatria** (meaning “Three Gardens”), a **bio-megalopolis** that is a testament to their harmonious relationship with nature. Calatria incorporates an intricate web of indigenous flora, **hyper-plantations**, and the iconic **Trees of Attica**, a towering supertree network that intertwines the city's infrastructure with its living spaces.

The Elvae possess a **psychoanalytical nature**, a depth of exegetical knowledge, and a remarkable ability to adapt diplomatically, earning them significant roles in post-Rain Tyrrha. Their influence extends into human and orc governance, where they serve as court advisors. Their enduring role as intermediaries between the great powers—men, orcs, and their own dwindling kind—has solidified their reputation as the protectors of harmony. Yet, beneath this noble façade lies an air of enigma, hinting at motives shrouded in secrecy and perhaps something far darker.
