Highfolk and the communities of the Velverdyva Valley stand as a bastion of freedom and vigilance, cradled by the Yatil Mountains and the ancient Vesve Forest. Life here depends on unity through diversity: independence and tradition, tranquility and vigilance, progress and the primeval. Titles carry little weight; honor is earned by deed and shared through song. Magic lingers in quiet places, woven into hearths, hidden glades, and the memory of ancient trees.
Though peace holds within the vale, the forest beyond grows restless. Some whisper the wood is changing—watching. Those who come to this frontier may find purpose, opportunity, and prosperity if bold enough to brave the wilds—but beneath the Vesve’s shadow, elder powers stir. Tread lightly, speak true, and stand ready to earn your place in the tales to come.
Highfolk adventures will premiere at specific online events, giving players a chance to experience a whole narrative arc in a single weekend if you want to dive in and immerse yourself in the region, perhaps even making it the home for one of your characters. Currently, we plan to have two releases for Highfolk each year – one in April and a larger event in November, where our usual online offerings will shift to center this region and where we’ll have other activities, puzzles, announcements, and ways to interact with the unfolding story of the free lands.
Nestled between the ancient Vesve Forest and the peaks of the Yatil Mountains, the Free Lands of Highfolk stand as one of the last bastions of independence in the northwestern Flanaess. Its people (elves, humans, gnomes, halflings, and others) live not under the rule of kings or queens but by consent and community, bound by a shared respect for the wild lands that sustain them.
