The elven city of Alassa is a large city-state and trading port spread across the largest islands of the Alassan Archipelago. Its inhabitants, the Alassan elves, trade many crafted goods with the mainland of Hanaa.
The city was built centuries ago, perhaps more. The Alassan elves are by nature not very forthcoming with information and trade ship crews tend to stay around the dock area. Scholars and emissaries that have visited Alassa return with stories of beautiful, old elven architecture and a huge library of knowledge that is restricted to outsiders and a large part of the Alassan population.
