บท 340: Young master Ark

In Arindale, there is a beautiful place called Elvendell, known for its harmony with nature. The homes here are crafted from the trunks of old oak trees and decorated with complex, swirling vines, making them look like elegant, living trees.

These wooden structures looked very similar to the homes preferred by Dryads, mythical beings thought to embody the forest. Some even believed that the Elves were actually descendants of these Dryads, born from a union between nature spirits and humans.

This union, however, bestowed upon the Elves a slightly lesser connection to the natural world compared to their Dryad ancestors.
