evolving with the lands and earth as it stood as a home measured in geological movements rather than years.  The most markedly destructive of these being the Earthfall ten thousand years ago—literally reshaping the land—before which history was mere myth and legend.  It took many thousands of years and a crisis of abyssal corruption to draw the elves back to Golarion and their ancestral home, reestablishing their seat in the Fierani Forest.<br/><br/>On the banks of the Endowhar River lies their capital, Iadara, a metropolis of elves organically entwined with the trees and landscape, nestled and embraced or even sculpted out of the living wood.  There was also room for artful and magical architecture, with raw silver ore erupted from the ground, grown and cut to shape, with crystalline walls or open balconies.  The wilds of the forest are occupied by all sorts of benign or capricious fey, as well as treants and wildlife both giant and small, but in the capital of the elves—secured and veiled by illusions, mist, and the forest itself—the elves are free to pursue their lives and trades, working wood and crystal, preparing excursions and patrols to explore abandoned reaches of the ancient nation, or politicking between factions of isolationists, explorers, conquerors, and those who would organize to destroy their ancestral enemies once and for all.  While Queen Telandia Edasseril (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/50/de/de/50dedef884afa721fa8b5c886ea41fad.png) was their absolute monarch, she also gave a free hand to the court to pursue their interests, which sometimes ran separate or even against those of the crown.  Such was the nature of the elves, however, methodical and long-reaching, yet independent and contradictory in an effort to pursue one’s idea of a perfect method, if not result.<br/><br/>One of these factions, focused outward on the world of Golarion, rather than the affairs of Kyonin and the elves, was the Wasp Queens.  When the elves returned to drive off a massive demonic invasion and corruption of their magic, they had also braced and prepared themselves to fight off hordes of barbaric humans.  They had found, however, humanity had developed and civilized surprisingly quickly, at least transitioning from nomadic hordes to agrarian city-states.  With the discovery that the world had changed and developed so quickly in their absence, elven explorers and traders ventured out to make contact and assess its attitudes and what it had to offer.  While the artifice of humans was crude and utilitarian, their industriousness had created large volumes of wealth, and sometimes managed to unearth wondrous relics or through some fluke create some of their own.  For some followers of Calistria, this piqued and prickled them—how dare the world move on like this, like nothing had happened after bringing destruction and ruination on itself and forcing the elves to bravely wait it out elsewhere?  And now they dig and scrape at the earth to discover and loot the treasures and relics of their betters, and the inheritance of the elven race, acting like they had created anything on their own?  It was only right and just that the elves go out into the world to take back what was theirs, and show Golarion that the elves were back to establish their glorious empire, or at least reclaim the treasures thereof.<br/><br/>While isolationist and forbidding free travel of the Fierani Forest, the elves aren’t entirely xenophobic in their cultural superiority.  The leader of the Wasp Queens, Arala Inisfaal (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/35/d5/94/35d594ac3c3fd97bd26e1d3273e135ac.png), is herself a half-elf, proving that any elven blood is enough to overcome the lowly nature of the world to produce a true paragon of grace, skill, and cunning.  And with so much of the world to explore and so many treasures to take, the Wasp Queens are always on the lookout for new recruits, elf and half-elf ladies committed both to Calistria and the pursuit of wealth, both for themselves, Kyonin, and to prove to the world that they are capable of any feat of larceny, no matter how dangerous or petty.  With this in mind, the guildmistress has invited one such devotee of Calistria, a fellow half-elf and cleric no less, Alice, to join her for a proposition and job opportunity.  The “office” for this is a rather nondescript treehouse in a quiet copse, sculpted in and built around a tall oak, and marked for recognition with a wasp’s nest buzzing right beside the entrance.  The door has no lock, though the handle is right on the same side that the nest is defensively buzzing.  Once inside, the seemingly plain treehouse is richly appointed with thick soft rugs, soft magical lighting throwing dancing shadows, and as a small, intimate table of polished darkwood on a delicate silver base, set with fine green crystal tea service.  A curtain led to a deeper room, though Arala sat at the table, pouring steaming tea, a pot of honey at the side.  Her long black hair was loose down her back, and she wore a casual yellow sundress, a black sash tied loosely around the hips, and bare feet.  On her fingers were a few delicate gold bands, including one with three tiny daggers like a starburst.
