Editing Sea Kindred (section)

==Background==
The elves of Mantica are one of the oldest races said to dwell on Mantica, but they are a people in decline. The God War ravaged their lands and people, splitting the race into numerous factions. This was exasperated centuries later with the end of the Winter War when the lands of the Western Kindred, the greatest remaining elf nation, was covered by the raging seas that swelled with Winter's demise. Only the city of Therennia Adar survived, which became the foundation of the Sea Kindred.

Therennia Adar has remained the capital of the Sea Kindred since that time. The walls of the city rise forty feet from the ocean on the outside, but the city behind it is built from the ocean floor upwards for hundreds of feet. This has led to the city becoming known by another name, Walldeep. The Sea Kindred have thus become a major naval power in order to project themselves from this port city.

Valandor the Great's body is said to lie in repose at the Spire of Ages in the center of the city. This was discovered to be a mere simulacra however, when the spire was raided by Mortibras. Although he revealed it to be a fake by attempting to steal it, this revelation has been kept a secret from the general public. In truth Valandor's body was hidden in the ruins below Dolgarth in the [[Golloch Empire]].
