The ancient Principality of the Alfenwood is set in a great forest is the South of the Newport Reach.. The High Elven Prince Fontwind rules from a hidden palace deep in the forest in a community of High Elves. Many Wood Elves, subjects of the Prince, wander the forest, meeting at a pair of encampments named Arrow and bow.

While the Elves of the Alfenwood count themselves as Lawful and are good subjects of the High King, they are far more reclusive than their Northern cousins in Elfdeep. They are very strict in their dealings with the Men of the Newport Reach, and will only deal with credentialed royal officials and messengers, ejecting anyone else from the woods. They are also very strict and literal about their treaty and oath agreements with the kingdom.
