The capitol of Aelfhem is Winterhome, a settlement of modest size that lies in a valley beneath the Sacred Orchards, where groves of sugarfir trees are ritually tended by an order of Aelfin monks.

In addition to the Aelfin, there are also small settlements of Eeee (migrated from Ashdod long ago) to be found in the area, and in recent years there have been sightings of three-headed dragons - In fact, it's rumored that the monks of the Sacred Orchard have one serving as a guardian of their holy ground.

In legend, from times when Aelfhem was out of contact with the outside world, Aelfhem was held to be a place of magic, highly regarded for its craftsmanship of magical artifacts. However, if such was the case, it is an art that has been lost long ago, for Aelfin products - while reasonably sturdy and well-made - are fairly plain and modest, and certainly not possessed of any magical properties.
