  Settlements

"Lerves" - The settlement of Lerves is located upriver from Tilitha, giving it an important and vital position within the Dalmite nation. Home of the Sinithiel tribe, the leaders of the Celinde Clan, Lerves is the only true town in the Tiaral Woods. A few other smaller tribes have also made a home here, some of them offshoots of the Sinithiel.

Trade with Tilitha is frequent and important to the tribes of Lerves. Amber, known as the Tears of Kainna, is found along the Aira Lomalynn. Valuable among the Dalmites, the amber is traded in Tilitha for many sorts of items. Because of this, Lerves has become the trading center among the Celinde clans. Since Celinde tribes rarely venture outside of the forests, Lerves bustles with trade during much of the year. Only the raining season, which occurs every winter, keeps traders home.

Besides trade and mining, the tribes of Lerves also contain some of the best and most respected herbalists, people who collect and identify herbs. Many of these herbalists also trade for herbs from all over the world, often traveling long distances to gather various ingredients. Healers are also well known in Lerves although not as skilled as those in Tilitha. It is not uncommon for healers to spend time learning in Tilitha before they master their skills.


"Uflera" - Located on the Aira Cellowyn and not far from the Bloodlands border, the people of Ulfera are less reclusive than other Celinde tribes. Disdainful of outsiders, as all Celinde are apt to be, the Dalmites of this settlement are more than ready to offer their services for a bit of amber or other precious items, which are then used to aid their tribes.

Ulfera is the original home of the Ledri al weh Seit, which began as a border patrol many generations ago. Formed to protect the forests from poachers, the Ledri have grown in power, not covering the entire forest. A training camp located near Ulfera is still one of the most respected among many such camps.

The people of Uflera consider themselves the scouts of the Dalmites. Close to the open plains of the Bloodlands, they have worked to perfect the art of tracking, down to the bending of a leaf. Outsiders often hire them to track down criminals or to guide them through the forests. It is very uncommon to see an outside trader traversing the forest without a Dalmite guide, most of them from Ulfera. Traders and merchants from Caeril who wish to penetrate the unknown western Dalmite forest often pay the Dalmite guides in Ulfera for their services.

Also, for a delaying tactic, they have developed sleep powers and potions. A side effect from this effort has also produced some of the deadliest poisons known in Aryiure.


"Cavaye" - This quiet and unassuming tribe has remained somewhat isolated within the forest-covered hills of the Tiaril Woods. Recently though, they have started trading with the other Dalmite towns, and a few Bloodland traders were even seen outside the settlement.

Perched high on the Cava Fer and along the headwaters of the Aira Hasa, the settlement grew slowly, maintaining very strong family ties.

The tribe is well known for its training and breeding of birds. Situated along an important migratory path, the tribe naturally began trapping and training the birds many generations ago. They have since perfected their skills and often the birds owned by other Dalmite tribes are descendents of Cavaye birds. Hawks, falcons, eagles are only among the few species that are trained for hunting and messenger duty. Beautiful headdresses and costumes decorated with the molting feathers are much prized.


"Sayasdenachi" - This hidden and delightful settlement belongs to the Sayasdenachi tribe, a very reclusive tribe that lives in a valley occupied by the Airee Poyan, a large lake surrounded by dense forest.

The Sayasdenachi are very self-reliant, collecting their food from the forest and trading with the other nearby settlements. Their largest bounty is the abundant fish in the lake, which provides food for the tribe members. Light wooden boats are poled out onto the lake, where huge nets are dropped. These intricate nets were once made exclusively from wood fibers and vines, but in recent times, are more often than not made from textiles imported from outside sources. Because these nets are expensive, only the powerful families with the tribe become successful fishermen but they share their bounty with the others. This does give the families political influence in the tribe and a member of one of these families is the Gwea, or tribal chief.

Small orchards of apple trees and nut trees have been lovingly planted and cared for along the banks of the lake. Children dig for clams and other shellfish, while adults tend the trees and fish the clear waters. Blessed by Graem, the Sayasdenachi Dalmites concoct delicious seafood recipes, some of them discovered and passed on to Tilitha where they have become favorites. Recently, the Sayasdenachi have begun to create delicate gold jewelry from flakes of metal found in nearby streams.

Trade is slow among the Sayasdenachi, mostly coming from traveling peddlers who happen to stumble upon the quiet settlement. Lerves merchants often travel to other Dalmite settlements to sell their wares and bring back exotic goods such as Gailmai pottery and beads or even occasionally, cloth or grains, which have found their way into the forest from Salan lands.
