Highgarden

Highgarden was a small, elvish city containing vast amounts of knowledge, and home to many generations of High Elves. Highgarden was known to be the most beautiful and captivating cities in all of Arxenthor. The infrastructure and architecture was different than other elvish cities, showing the craftsmanship of devoted Highgarden elves.

Geography
Highgarden is situated at the top of Mount Red'ron. This mountain keeps glacial ice caps throughout the seasons, but only on the top quarter of the mountain range. At the very peak is a long-dead volcanic crater where the Warriors of Highgarden lived and trained.

Mount Red'ron itself is part of the Northeastern rocky-belt. A crescent of craggy, long dead volcanoes stretching from the eastern shores to the City of Khana.

Highgarden Warrior Fighting Style
The Highgarden Warriors faught in a very unique style; contrasting greatly with the Sect of Warriors, and differing slightly from the traditional elven fighting style.

Their techniques ranged from fencing foils, to fireballs. Most of the warrior's abilities come from their dexterity, finesse, and agility with short, and light swords. Some of the warriors, however, moved on to a very secret art. An art stolen from the gods. The art, of destructive magic. Some select few elves trained for years, toiling for several years in an effort to perfect their ability to cast spells.

The Fall of Highgarden (950AK)
In the gregorian year 950AK, Highgarden fell. As war is, the beast races needed a vantage point to spy on Khana. After enlisting help from the southern sky nymphs, the Orcs came from above. They attacked Highgarden, and slaughtered every many, woman, and child. The entire city was stripped of its splendor, as the orcs destroyed many of the buildings within the city. Despite heavy casualties caused by the elven warriors, the orcs prevailed. They bathed in the blood, and feasted on the corpses. Soon, the Orcs realized that Highgarden was in fact, not a good vantage point, the simply left the bodies to rot. 10,000 elves were slaughtered, but it cost the orcs greatly, as 37,000 of them were slain.
