Humans most often encounter glade elves, which live near the rivers and lakes of northern Aventuria, especially in proximity to the Salamander Stones, but also in Albernia, Alamada, and the Horasian Empire. They are also called lea elves or green elves. As the largest elven population in Aventuria, they have the strongest influence on the image most humans have of elves. Some glade elves have even given up the pastoral life and have settled in human cities.
