User:Zone Descriptions Project/Athica

Originally known as Felwithe, Athica was built after the Scattering of Races around a magical presence in Faydark known as the Heart of Athica. After Felwithe and the other elven cities fell to the Kaezulian horde in 94 BF, Baldakos the Betrayer unleashed his "Mist", a great magical weapon. The Heart of Athica fought off the mist, preserving the city while surrounding areas were destroyed.

When the "Returners" (those survivors who fled to the safety of Erudin and the Great North) returned to Faydark and attempted to re-enter Felwithe, they encountered the forgotten presence of the Heart of Athica. All that attempted entry were either slaughtered or driven away.

Only when the Bearers of Truth convinced the Heart of Athica they were intent on rebuilding, not more destruction, would she allow people to once again settle within her walls. In honor of her presence, they renamed Felwithe to Athica, which at present is the place High Elves call home.
