History
Vori is a nation of Snow Elves, or 'true-elves', that have isolated themselves in the upper northwest corner of Antagarich. Very little is known about their history; what is known is remembered by their cousins, the elves of AvLee. The Vori elves call themselves the 'pure-blood' elves and the elves that left their civilization are called the Renegades.
The Sword of Frost was forged and enshrined in Vori, with the city of Volee being eventually buried by glaciers as a result of the sword's powers. This dangerous artifact will be sought by Tarnum, Gelu, and Kilgor later on.
